Who we are
Om Tribe was founded in 2017, when two friends decided to create and hold space for others through travel and yoga. Through their retreats, they hoped people would gain some level of transformation and clarity, like hitting a reset button on their bodies and minds.
They found the best formula to accomplish this was by guiding students outside of their comfort zone and usual routine by traveling, diving deeper in their yoga practice (or trying yoga for the first time!), tasting new foods, experiencing new cultures, all while connecting more with themselves, community, and nature.
Om is said to be the sonic representation of the divine, one of the most powerful mantras in Hinduism, and the essence of consciousness. We believe when you leave your daily routines and slow down to connect with yourself and nature, that is when you are more easily able to be fully conscious and connected to yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings. Allowing yourself to feel and connect deeply can be scary for some, and better to do with peers who are all on the same page. Going through these experiences together creates a natural sense of community, or a tribe. The formula seems to work well, and Om Tribe continues to grow and flourish today.
What we do
It's pretty simple for us - we want to have fun, travel, do yoga, and share these experiences with YOU! We create an atmosphere that is uplifting and exciting, while leaving time and space for relaxation and reflection… there’s a little bit of everything. We want to give our students the tools to deepen their yoga, Pilates, and movement practice, and work hard to create an unforgettable, and positive experience for every body, regardless of age, background, movement experience, etc. All are welcome!

Kelley Cavallo
Yoga Teacher
When Kelley moved to NYC in 2007, a dance colleague suggested she try a vinyasa class as a way to move, breathe and relieve tension in a non-competitive, judgement free environment. She loved the physical and mental challenges, paired with blissful relaxation and inner clarity. After 5 years of steady practice, she enrolled in a 200-hour training at Yoga Vida. She has since completed trainings in pre-natal, advanced sequencing, trauma-informed, and therapeutics. She has taught at Yoga Agora, Brahman Yoga, St. Marks Yoga, and at various luxury residential buildings. Kelley co-led a yoga retreat in Barbados and has taught at the sunrise rave Morning Gloryville NYC.
Her classes combine strength and mobility in a dynamic vinyasa flow style: challenging yet light-hearted, and sequenced to make sense in the body. She believes in finding contentment in going with the flow without expectation or attachment to the outcome. Yoga is a lifelong journey, so enjoy the process!
