About Me

Kelly Wariner, Yoga Teacher and Founder of Space to Balance

Hi, I’m Kelly

Through teaching yoga, I help people slow down, breathe a little deeper and look after their wellbeing – both on and off the mat.

I’ll let you into a secret though… there was a time before I discovered these tools! Let me tell you more.

Where it began

I used to work long hours in jobs I didn’t enjoy, feeling constantly stressed and overwhelmed. I said yes to everything and put too much pressure on myself. Life felt busy, I wasn’t happy and my mental health suffered too. I realised something had to give, so I left my job at the time, took a step back and dived into all things health and wellbeing.

Looking back now, I can see how three practices gently changed everything.

First, I found yoga. What began as 30 days of Yoga with Adriene on YouTube (still highly recommend!) turned into a regular practice and a completely new relationship with my body and mind. Yoga gave me permission to slow down, to move with care, and to create space in my life. It’s made me stronger, more grounded and more myself, and continues to be an anchor when life feels busy.

As I learnt more about yoga, I started practicing guided meditation regularly, and found that it gave me an even greater sense of mental clarity. Meditation has taught me how to become present and cultivate a calmer, clearer mindset. I love to share this with others – often as a gentle opening to class.

And then there’s mindfulness. This has become such a natural part of who I am and how I teach that I don’t consciously “add it in” anymore – it’s simply woven through every class. Mindfulness shapes the language I use, the pace I teach at, and the way I invite students to connect with themselves. I truly believe in its power, and in how transformative it can be when we begin to carry it beyond the mat and into everyday life.

Movement. Meditation. Mindfulness.

The three M’s I live by.

Where I am today

Since I started teaching in 2018, Space to Balance has grown into something that feels deeply aligned with who I am.

I run weekly evening yoga classes in Chippenham and, when the weather allows, you’ll often find us outside in nature during the summer months – moving, breathing and grounding ourselves outdoors. Between May and September, I also cover teach classes for all levels at Park Yoga Chippenham, which is always such a joy!

Alongside weekly classes, I run monthly Sunday Sessions – special, slower-paced events created in collaboration with other local teachers and wellbeing practitioners. These sessions are an opportunity to explore wellbeing in a more expansive way, to rest, to connect, and to try something a little different.

I also offer yoga for private events across Wiltshire – having taught at hen parties and retreats as well as brand events at large venues such as Kin House. If you’re planning something special in or near Chippenham and would like yoga to be part of it, please do get in touch to enquire.

One of my absolute favourite parts of teaching yoga is the people in the room. Over time, I’ve got to know so many of my students, and they are truly the most wonderful bunch – kind, supportive, friendly and fun. Showing up for them, holding space, and being part of their journeys is why I teach.

Space to Balance was created as a way to share the practices that changed my life, and to offer a welcoming space to slow down, reconnect and simply be. I hope you’ll join me on the mat sometime!

Please reach out anytime – I’d love to hear from you.
