About Me
Kelly Wariner, Yoga Teacher and Sound Bath Practitioner
Hi, I’m Kelly
Yoga Teacher and Sound Bath Practitioner sharing mindfulness-based wellbeing practices in Chippenham, Wiltshire.
Through yoga, mindfulness and sound, I create welcoming spaces for people to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with themselves — both on and off the mat.
Whether you join me for a yoga class, sound bath or retreat, my hope is that you leave feeling calmer, lighter, and a little more balanced than when you arrived.
My journey
There was a time before I discovered these practices.
I used to work long hours in jobs I didn’t enjoy, feeling constantly stressed and overwhelmed. I was a people pleaser, saying yes to everything and putting too much pressure on myself. Life felt busy, I wasn’t happy, and my mental health suffered too.
Eventually, I realised something had to give. I left my job at the time, took a step back, and immersed myself in the world of health and wellbeing.
Looking back now, I can see how a few simple practices gently changed everything.
I’d been a runner since my teens, but after picking up a knee injury I had to stop running for a while. I started practising yoga as something to do in the meantime, but even after my injury recovered, I kept coming back to it. 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene on YouTube (highly recommend!) gradually turned into attending a regular in-person class.
Yoga helped me reconnect with my body and slow down for the first time in years. What began as movement gradually became something much deeper: a chance to breathe, pause, and create space in my life.
As I learnt more about yoga, I started practising guided meditation with the Calm app (also recommend!) and found myself looking forward to those quiet ten minutes each day. Meditation helped me slow my brain down, soften the mental chatter, and cultivate a greater sense of clarity and calm.
Mindfulness naturally followed. It taught me how to become more present, notice the world around me more deeply, and feel less caught up in the rush of everyday life.
None of these practices changed everything overnight, but slowly and steadily they shifted the way I live, work and relate to myself. This eventually led me to complete my yoga teacher training in 2018 — one of the best decisions I’ve ever made — and Space to Balance was born!
More recently, I discovered sound healing and was drawn to its incredible ability to quiet the mind, calm the nervous system and support deep rest. After experiencing its benefits first-hand, I trained as a Sound Bath Practitioner so I could share this with others.
Movement. Mindfulness. Sound.
The practices that continue to support and shape my life every day.
The practices I share
-
Yoga was the beginning of everything for me.
What started as something to do while recovering from injury became a completely new relationship with my body and mind. Yoga gave me permission to slow down, move with care and create space in my life.
My classes focus less on perfection and more on how movement feels — encouraging students to move in a way that feels supportive, grounding and accessible.
-
Mindfulness has transformed not only how I teach, but how I live.
It’s helped me become more present, notice the world around me more deeply, and feel less caught up in the constant rush of everyday life. 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 moments.
-
Sound healing feels like a natural extension of the work I already share through yoga and mindfulness.
Using gongs, Tibetan singing bowls and other therapeutic instruments, sound baths are designed to help calm the nervous system, encourage deep rest and create space to simply pause and receive.
How I teach
Mindfulness 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.
It shapes the language I use, the pace I teach at, and the way I invite students to connect with themselves. My approach is gentle, grounding and supportive, with a focus on creating spaces where people feel comfortable exactly as they are.
I’m not interested in pushing people to perform or striving for perfection. For me, yoga and wellbeing practices are about creating space — to breathe, to slow down, to reconnect and to feel a little more balanced in everyday life.
Practice with me
-
I run weekly evening yoga classes for all levels in Chippenham. When the weather allows in the summer months, you’ll often find us outside in nature — moving, breathing and grounding ourselves outdoors.
Between May and September, I also cover classes at Park Yoga Chippenham, which is always such a joy!
-
Alongside weekly classes, I organise monthly Sunday Sessions — slower-paced wellbeing events created in collaboration with other local teachers and practitioners.
These sessions are an opportunity to rest, reconnect, and explore wellbeing in a more expansive way.
-
I’m now beginning to offer restorative sound baths, creating calming spaces where people can fully relax, switch off from the outside world, and simply receive.
Sound bath offerings will be launching soon — you can sign up to my newsletter or follow me on social media for updates.
-
I also offer yoga and sound baths for private events across Wiltshire, having taught at hen parties, retreats, and brand events at venues including Kin House.
If you’re planning something special in or near Chippenham and would like yoga or sound to be part of it, I’d love to hear from you.
Why I teach
The science
I’m no science expert, but I do like to feel confident that what I’m sharing is genuinely supportive for people’s wellbeing.
So much of what drew me to yoga, mindfulness and sound in the first place was discovering the growing evidence behind practices that help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress and support mental wellbeing.
I love learning more about the connection between mind and body, and bringing those ideas into my teaching in a simple, accessible way.
The people
One of my absolute favourite parts of teaching 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 one of the biggest reasons I do what I do.
There’s something really special about creating spaces where people can come exactly as they are and feel welcomed, supported and connected.
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’d love to invite you to join me!
