Killian M.

As a life-long athlete, dancer, and choreographer, Killian’s yoga practice has helped her realize that the body is not a problem to be solved. She began studying yoga in earnest in Salt Lake City in 1995, where she was pursuing her PhD, as a way to strengthen the connection between body and mind. Since returning to Chapel Hill in 2004, her practice has convinced her that meeting challenges on the mat cultivates an ability to meet life’s challenges off the mat. Killian completed her 200–hour yoga teacher training at Franklin Street Yoga in May of 2024, and is delighted to be offering classes that provide the opportunity to connect movement to breath, mind to body, and spirit to community.
