Fit Friday Trainer Feature: Meet Kaylee, the Movement-Loving Instructor Who Always Makes Time for “Lizard Time”

Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Kaylee has called Chattanooga
home since 2018. A lifelong lover of movement, she is passionate about
helping people better understand, appreciate, and connect with their
bodies.

Kaylee began practicing yoga at just 13 years old. In 2022, she
completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training and a 70-hour mat Pilates
course—and quickly fell in love with teaching in a studio setting.

Today, you can find Kaylee leading classes at Yoga Landing on Signal
Mountain. When she’s working out for herself, she moves all around
Chattanooga, with Fitness Central, Yoga Landing, and Salt Studios
among her favorite spaces.

Her approach to wellness extends well beyond the studio. Kaylee makes
it a priority to spend at least an hour outside every day, even if
that simply means sitting in the sunshine—a ritual she affectionately
calls “lizard time.”

“Chattanooga is so beautiful and outdoor-centric,” she says. “I really
believe being outside contributes to a healthy life.”

Kaylee’s relationship with wellness has also been shaped by personal
challenges. During college, she struggled with disordered eating and
unhealthy exercise habits. Through therapy and the support of trained
wellness professionals, she began rebuilding her relationship with her
body and developing sustainable habits that now support a healthier,
more balanced lifestyle.

Her advice for anyone working toward a wellness goal is to start small.

“Set goals that can be accomplished in small chunks, so you always
have a milestone waiting for you around the corner,” she says. “And
find people to surround yourself with who share your mindset.”
