Welcome to Jean Keese & The Art of Living

About Me

Reach Your Potential.  Be The Change You Wish To See In Yourself. 

Welcome friend! I am here to inspire you to transform, heal and discover your best self.  I know just how hard it is to take the time for self-care.  I know just how challenging it can be to navigate the ever-changing flow of “health” and “fitness” information. Using a modern approach to ancient wisdom, I offer you antidotes to the stress of modern life.  I get it (I live it):  modern life can be incredibly stressful. Please, don’t let it stand between you and the health of yourself and your family.   Learn how to create a rhythm of positive and nourishing habits that leave you rejuvenated, energized and fulfilled.  Here, I offer you solutions from the ancient teachings of yoga and Ayurvevda, blended with the teachings of Joseph Pilates.  My hope is to inspire you to take better care of you….. Improve your quality of life, reach your potential – and thrive! I believe in you.  I know you can do it.  Let me be your guide. 

 Jean is a published author, teacher, Clinical Ayurvedic Practitioner and Whole Health Advocate. She is a Yoga Momma and Pilates Hotty that craves movement, real food and the outdoors. She’s a lover of herbs, essential oils, warm beverages and good friends. She’s a hoarder of books, and loves to write. She loves practicing yoga and pilates with her two kiddos, and believes children (just like adults) must be healthy in order to thrive.  She is often found enjoying the outdoors exploring, hiking, skiing and anything on or near a river. She requires open space, and finds therapy in managing her family flock of chickens, small herd of milk goats, dogs and  garden.  Jean has spent years working to master the art of living.   Jean is a graduate of the  California College of Ayurveda and the American Institute of Vedic Studies, earning her certificate as a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist and Pancha Karma Specialist. Jean first studied Yoga with the Ananda Ashram in Grass Valley, and has continued her studies with Integrative Yoga Therapy. Jean is a Pilates instructor, and has completed two comprehensive teacher training programs, including Polestar which focuses on rehabilitative elements of Pilates. Jean has developed and directed Yoga Alliance Approved Teacher Training programs, and has co-directed Pilates Teacher Training programs. Jean founded and directed a Pilates/Barre, Yoga & Ayurveda studio for more than nine years. From her work with women, she was inspired to create Pilates Hotty.  Jean is passionate about inspiring others to find ways to find balance, so they can optimize their health – and life.
