- Welcome to Kelsey Schultz
Kelsey Schultz
I am a busy, ambitious mother of 2 and co-owner of 3 yoga studios. Yoga and travel are how I slow down and find deep appreciation for the amazing gifts in my life, while also seeing how small and humble my life truly is.
I believe strongly in stepping out of our routines, seeking connections with new people, and continuing to seek new experiences.I have been a student of yoga for 15+ years and have shared this practice as instructor now for 6+ years. I lean towards a challenging practice that creates moving meditation, while developing mental and physical strength. Prior to my ‘career’ in yoga, I worked in Higher Ed, training and leading reflection and discussion… creating spaces of discovery
I look forward to seeing life with you all at the intersections of yoga, adventure, reflection and human connection!

I am a Mom to two very active boys and co-own 3 hot yoga studios with my work-wifey, Kelsey. To say that my life (both personal and work) is crazy chaotic would be an understatement, however I wouldn’t want it any other way.
I find balance by filling my soul with family, friends and adventuring outdoors whenever possible. I am passionate about helping people find balance through movement and wellness for both their physical body and mind. I absolutely love teaching a wide variety of yoga styles and truly believe that yoga is one of the most powerful tools to accomplish this. If you love travel, yoga and adventure – this retreat is for you.

I lead retreats because I’ve witnessed, time and again, how deeply transformative it can be to step away from everyday life. Creating intentional space—away from routines and responsibilities—opens the door to clarity, depth, and the kind of insight that allows us to reconnect with who we truly are.
My own yoga journey began over twenty years ago, when I took my very first class while studying abroad in Costa Rica. Years later, in my early 30s, as a stressed-out mom yearning for room to breathe, I signed up for a yoga retreat on a whim. That experience changed everything—it sparked a gentle unwinding of stress, grief, and anxiety I hadn’t even realized I was holding. It also lit a path toward healing, personal growth, and eventually becoming a yoga instructor and creating my own retreat business - Laurel Leaf Yoga, Retreats & Wellness.
I’m especially excited to co-lead this Bali retreat—surrounded by the island’s rich culture and breathtaking natural beauty—as we guide participants into deeper connection with their hearts and the transformative magic that comes from stepping out of routine and into something entirely new.
At home in Sauk Rapids, I teach at KPY, run my retreat business, and keep pace with the lively rhythm of raising two teenagers alongside four cats. My husband of 19 years—and our full, happy household—are my everything.
