Kelli Yapp

Where did you grow up/attend school: Midwesterner! Graduated from the University of Michigan. Wherever you go, go blue.

What do you love about the craft of boxing: It’s meditative, cathartic and empowering all at the same time. Nothing makes me feel as strong as boxing does. I also love that it relies heavily on technique and the never ending, day-to-day process of refinement. It reminds me of ballet technique. There’s always work to be done!

Favorite thing about Shadowbox: It’s 45-minutes in a group setting, but it’s personal to you. You can truly get lost…in the best way possible.

How do you recharge: Rewatching my favorite movies. Really good food and really good wine.
