Overview
Surya Yoga in Olathe is a welcoming sanctuary rooted in Indian yoga traditions. Owner Kelly, who discovered yoga during the pandemic and completed her 200-hour training at the studio, has built a space where everyone belongs regardless of experience or body type. The studio’s mission is to create an environment where shoulders drop, breath deepens, and students feel instantly at home. The space is described as lovely and calm, with instructors who learn names and encourage practicing at one’s own comfort level. Props such as blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets are provided to support each student’s practice.
From the first contact, the studio emphasizes approachability and non-judgment. Founder Kelly’s personal journey—losing 70 pounds through yoga and embracing a grounded lifestyle—informs the studio’s inclusive philosophy. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, making it easy for newcomers to feel part of the community.
Class Offerings
The class schedule caters to a wide range of preferences and skill levels. SURYA Yoga Basics offers slow-paced instruction with plenty of cueing, ideal for beginners or those returning from a break.

More specialized classes include SURYA Balance Boost, a wrist-friendly set sequence that avoids push-ups and down dog; Surya Gentle and Deep Stretch for flexibility; Restorative Yoga using props for deep relaxation; SURYA Advanced Asanas for experienced practitioners; and SURYA Dynamic Flow influenced by Baptiste yoga with up to 53 poses. Workshops like Restorative Yoga sessions run periodically, open to all. The studio also offers live-stream options for those who prefer to practice from home.
