About

Philosophy

Our philosophy begins within. Discovering the ever-present light within each of us is the starting point. Our thinking, choices, actions, and relationships all stem from this beautiful inner light. It gives us energy, guides us in relationships, and drives us to be of service. When we are connected with this light, we are in our authenticity – a place of great strength from which we can live, love, and lead.

Lead with Light focuses on bringing the history and depth of the Yoga tradition and modern mindfulness practices to leaders in a wide variety of spaces. From yoga studios and retreat centers to classrooms and boardrooms, we foster curiosity and self-discovery. Our classes and events are creative and playful – yet also rich in meaning.

We encourage awareness of the ever-present light within each of us. We believe awareness of this light allows us to step into our leadership brilliantly.

Tagline

Our tagline exemplifies the Lead with Light philosophy:

With love and intuition we are growing and healing together.

Each of the key words in this phrase begins with a letter that helps spell the word light, symbolizing that the light is deeply present within each of us and integrated into the work we do.

Love and intuition provide the safe space and encouragement for growing and healing, which are constantly in progress as we evolve, and best done together – with the support of a loving community.

History

Lead with Light was founded in 2023 by Kelsey Beine. Her vision was to blend mindfulness, creativity, and leadership into seamless learning experiences for students and clients. We partner with numerous community organizations to offer on-site classes, workshops, trainings, and events that address their specific needs.

Foundress

Hi there!

My dharma (purpose/calling) in this life is to teach, mentor, guide, and lead with knowledge, wisdom, and compassion.

I knew this in the background of my mind and heart, and it became crystal clear while spending the summer of 2022 in the jungles of Costa Rica. Ever since my return from that adventure, I have been striving to align my work and life with this dharma. As a result, Lead with Light was born!

I am a liberal artsy thinker and teacher who loves to integrate ideas from various subject areas, healing modalities, and cultures. I am also a lifelong learner and love sharing what I learn in class to keep my teaching fresh and relevant.

As an introvert, I have a deep interest in exploring the inner workings of the mind, body, and heart. I specialize in creating spaces where you can do the same – reflect and deepen your self-awareness.

Join me for some light-hearted and profound learning adventures!
