Welcome to Fiorella Yoga

A Journey of Resilience, Mindfulness, and Empowerment

Hello, and welcome to Fiorella Yoga! I’m Kelly “Fiorella” Drozd, and I’m thrilled to have you here. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the world of yoga, I’m dedicated to making your practice meaningful, accessible, and aligned with your unique needs.

A Little About Me

My journey with yoga began in 2013 and has been a transformative part of my life. As a former Division I athlete, I’m no stranger to physical challenges. While I managed to stay mostly healthy during my softball career, I’ve undergone multiple hip surgeries, including Periacetabular osteotomy on my left hip in 2015 and my right hip in 2018, along with several hip scope surgeries to repair labral tears. I’ve also faced other significant injuries, including a broken shoulder and wrist - I think that is it but sometimes I lose track.

These experiences tested my resilience and deeply influenced my approach to health and well-being. Yoga became my sanctuary—a vital part of my healing, helping me rebuild strength, find balance, and navigate both the physical and emotional challenges of recovery. It wasn’t just about physical recovery; yoga has become a significant part of my life, guiding me to a deeper connection with myself and fostering a sense of mindfulness and self-care.

My professional journey has taken me from Chicago, Minnesota, to Memphis, and finally to San Francisco in 2020. With nearly 20 years of experience across, sales, operations, program management, marketing, and tech, yoga has been my anchor, helping me navigate life’s challenges, with more grace and mindfulness.

The Birth of Fiorella Yoga

Fiorella Yoga was born out of a passion for sharing the transformative power of yoga with others. My mission is to create a space where yoga meets you exactly where you are, whether that’s in a private session tailored to your personal goals, a group or corporate class that fosters connection and mindfulness, or a special event where yoga adds that perfect touch of balance and serenity.

At Fiorella Yoga, every session is thoughtfully designed with your well-being in mind. I offer personalized yoga experiences that include everything you need for a supportive and rejuvenating practice. From custom playlists to spa-like amenities and essential props, my goal is to create a practice that not only nurtures your body but also empowers your journey toward resilience, mindfulness, and holistic well-being.

What to Expect

When you join me for a session, you can expect a welcoming environment where your individual needs are the priority. We’ll start with a one-on-one conversation to understand your vision and preferences, ensuring that the session not only meets but exceeds your expectations. Whether you’re looking to deepen your practice, connect with your team, or simply take a moment for yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Core Values that Guide Fiorella Yoga

The foundation of Fiorella Yoga is built on a few core values that I hold close:

Inclusivity: I am committed to creating an inclusive environment where all students feel welcome and supported. I value diversity and ensure that everyone, regardless of background or identity, feels safe, seen, and respected in my classes.

Accessibility
I believe yoga should be accessible to everyone, regardless of physical abilities, background, or experience level. My teaching adapts to your unique needs, ensuring that you can find benefit and growth in your practice.

Mindfulness
Mindfulness is at the heart of my practice. I encourage you to connect deeply with your breath, body, and mind, cultivating presence and awareness both on and off the mat.

Resilience
Having navigated my own challenges, I value the power of resilience. I inspire you to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, helping you build inner strength and perseverance through your practice.

Empowerment
My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your practice at your own pace, empowering you to tap into your inner strength, potential, and sense of peace. I invite you to approach your capabilities with curiosity, build confidence, and honor your own boundaries, both on and off the mat
