SOMATIC YOGA AND KILOBY INQUIRIES. INTERVIEW WITH KELLY COOPER.

This time it is my turn to introduce a person full of peace and spiritual maturity, she is originally from the United Kingdom and has traveled and lived in the Middle East. She has worked for more than 15 years as

a Yoga therapist and has been able to change the lives of many people, taking the stress out of daily life through somatic work. Thus, she has a great purpose to help others to find peace, as she has achieved it through the techniques she has learned. Kelly can lead workshops, classes, and various types of somatic yoga retreats. She specializes in pregnancy and directing the connection between parents and their babies. In 2022 and 2023 she had the opportunity to study to become a facilitator for Kiloby inquiries and is currently integrating it into her courses and workshops as a yoga teacher. Making her teachings more and more clear. Kelly Cooper can help people find the beauty of the present, of what some call God, or others call consciousness. She will reconcile you with your Divine origin and will also help you to find which emotions you are repressing th

e most, which ones are causing the pain in your body, which ones are causing you to not be able to move, and will help you with the Kiloby Inquiries sessions to rediscover your consciousness.

In this interview of more than 20 questions, you will get to know the therapist a little more closely, her techniques, her spiritual teachers, and above all the way she sees life. As a historian and art historian, I think it is very important to write about people who are changing the contemporary world and making history by correcting their attitudes, and habits, and above all helping others to heal. Psychological health is totally connected to what may happen to the future of our society. She also helps to remove stress through music therapy and dance therapy techniques that have proven to be very effective in improving people's mood and therefore daily creativity. All the answers were sent by Kelly.

Without art society dies...but we will leave the subject of art and meditation and psychology for another time. For now, it's time for our guests to shine. Who has great human warmth, and we feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with her. To conduct this interview, I relied on information from Kelly Cooper's website1, Kiloby Scott's videos, and Kiloby Inquiries member’s page.2

We also invite you to watch the recorded interview which will be published soon on our Youtube channel Alasart. Art and Time.

Alasart 1. Tell us about your life in a few words.

Kelly: “I am 52 and married with one daughter Matilda aged 11and a cat called Cloudy. We live on the beautiful South Coast of the UK. I was born and raised mainly in the UK (we immigrated to Saudi Arabia from age 8-11 where I mixed with many nationalities). We settled back in the UK where I continued my secondary schooling. I have a BA degree and have had many jobs, always fascinated by humans and psychology, so most were connected in some way to this exploration in some way of the human condition.”

Alasart 2. What is your actual profession and where do you learn it?

Kelly: “I have been a yoga teacher specializing in pre- and post-natal since the birth of my daughter 10 years ago but originally trained as a career when I was 30 as I fell in love with it for its calming effects. I am also deeply interested in somatic body-based healing, nervous system regulation and embodiment, sharing in small women’s circles. Now of course I am starting to use the Kiloby inquiries to facilitate transformational work.”

Alasart 3. Why do you do this profession, or activity?

Kelly: “I love it and enjoy sharing how embodiment, yoga and somatic inquiries can help others. It feels very rewarding to share what has and continues to help me.” Alasart 4. How do you describe a spiritual life? Kelly: “Trying to be of help to others. Being authentic and honest to yourself and others. Taking time to connect to spirit in whatever way helps. For me that is communion in nature and silence but also connection to others. Honoring and expanding my capacity for love, including myself.”

Alasart 5. How your spiritual path helps others, in everyday life?

Kelly: “Helps others connect to their themselves, body, mind, and spirit. Empowers them to build resilience. Helps with self-knowledge, bringing healing and potentially transforming trauma.

Alasart 6. What is healing for you?

Kelly: “I find music healing, singing weekly in the forest in a group, dancing, being in nature and quiet and swimming and saunas. I also love somatic work and Kiloby inquiries!”

Alasart 7. What are your favorite authors and music?

Kelly: “I read many books but don’t really have a favorite author. I love books that combine real life struggles with the strength of the human spirit. I just finished ‘The Great alone’ by Kristin Hannah which was brilliant. One of the main characters was a war veteran and had PTSD and the story centered around how the family adapted to that. Both a tragedy and heartwarming. Before that I read ‘Wild’ by Jay Griffiths which was great too. I like usually to have some kind of self-development or study book and a novel to switch off and much prefer a book to TV. I am listening to ‘Existential Kink’ on audio, exploring further the ideas of shadows and revisiting Peter Levine’s work. “My music taste is pretty diverse and eclectic. I listen to what I am in the mood for. I grew up under the influence of my parents 60s such as Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and the Beatles, then a lot of 70s disco which are all still in my veins. As a young teen I was an eighties fan, then a Gothic into goth, listening to The cure and the Cult, and rock chick 2 listening and watching heavy metal concerts, loving Metallica and Guns and Roses. I then transitioned into the rave era as a young adult and later enjoyed a little reggae, R & B, hip hop and dance hall, indie folk and now the whole conscious music scene and newer artists such as Alexia Chellum, Trevor Hall, Peia, Olivia Fern and Gone gone beyond. Sometimes I play a reminiscent mix of some of older bands. Ones I may have on repeat are The Chili Peppers and sometimes a Radiohead track or two. Mainly though I listen to mixtures on Spotify and love a lot of contemporary artists, folk and soul sister music such as MaMuse.”
