Kaileen admits she spent most of her life striving to do better, be better, work harder and learn more. The consummate perfectionist, she always looked for reasons to believe that nothing she ever did was quite good enough and that there was always room for improvement. "When I found yoga, or better said, when yoga found me, for the first time in my life I was able to balance my competitive nature and overachieving personality with compassion for myself, for my needs and for my body. Yoga has transformed me from the inside out, and it has given me permission to release control and to arrive on my mat looking at the journey rather than at the end goal."
Kaileen's classes are both playful and challenging and she encourages her students to recognize that their own path, whatever it might be, is beautiful and perfect just the way it is. She completed her teacher training in 2007 and has enjoyed teaching ever since. She received both her B.A. and M.Ed. at The University of Notre Dame and is a loyal fan of her Fighting Irish. Off the mat, she is a high school Spanish teacher at Boston College High School and loves every minute of it. She lives in Dorchester with her husband, Michael.
