Kele Baker is a Tai Chi Easy™ and Healer Within senior trainer, co‐leading and assisting numerous training courses online and in person. She is a Holden Qigong senior instructor, providing classes and one‐to‐one mentoring for teachers‐in‐training. Kele sat on the board of directors of the National Qigong Association and the Healer Within Foundation, and has collaborated with Lee Holden on a qigong pilot program for Weight Watchers International. She is also a certified Alexander Technique teacher.
Kele was the Argentine tango choreographer for the UK version of Dancing With the Stars, and authored Strictly Come Dancing: Step‐By‐Step Dance Class. When whiplash from a car accident interrupted her professional dance career, qigong and tai chi helped Kele recover her flexibility, strength, and inner resilience.
Currently living in the Hudson Valley, Kele teaches qigong and tai chi locally at the Walkway Over the Hudson, and for Vassar College Lifelong Learning Institute and Marist College Center for Lifetime Study. She has also taught at fitness centers, cancer care centers, and Parkinson’s Disease support groups in the US and the UK.
