About
About Holly —
Some people find their way to this work through books and trainings. Holly found hers through a life that demanded it.
Before the School in the Mountains
Before three decades of teaching. Before any of this.
Holly Krepps spent years building a life that looked like success from the outside. A career in broadcast media and marketing — account executive, then manager in radio, marketing director for an advertising agency, then account executive at CBS and NBC television affiliates. She understood how to build something, how to position it, how to make it matter. And she built a yoga studio in Little Rock that became the state's premier space for practice and study.
And then something shifted. Not a crisis. Just a knowing.
At 44, she and her husband sold the studio, sold the home, and drove into the Arkansas Ozarks with $27,000, a circle of trusted friends, and a clarity that was equal parts terrifying and true.
What they built there, Circle Yoga Shala, a wisdom school and internationally accredited yoga therapy center, became one of Arkansas's most respected centers for deep practice and teacher formation. For nearly two decades, students arrived on that mountain land and left changed.
That willingness to reorder a life around what's real is not just Holly's story. It's the work she now helps others do.
Who She Is
A teacher shaped by the full range of it.
Holly doesn't teach from concept. She teaches from territory she has actually crossed. Thirty-plus years in the recovery tradition. A full Kundalini awakening in her late twenties, three years she moved through without a map, until a Catholic priest from Portugal quietly pointed her toward the Eastern teachings. Study with Father Richard Rohr in his three-year Living School at the Center for Action and Contemplation. Decades of work with the Wisdom Enneagram, somatic practice, Ayurveda, and contemplative Christianity. A life with horses that continues to teach her things no book can.
She turned 60 in 2024. Her life has been, as she puts it, a crucible — for forgiveness, for a resilience that transcends and includes, for learning to parent herself into genuine adulthood.
The Streams That Feed This Work
Traditions she has lived, not just studied.
What People Say
Words from people who did the work.
"When I am feeling especially anxious, unsure about a decision, doubting myself, doubting life, and feeling scared, the only person I trust is Holly. Inquiry is the most honest, hopeful work you could ever do, and Holly is a master."
"Observing Holly lead individuals through the inquiry process is witnessing mastery in action. Her compassionate and patient approach is relentless in uncovering truths beyond mere narratives."
"Holly makes self-inquiry accessible. She brings years of her own practice and training to the table. What she teaches is simple but profoundly important."
If Something Here Resonates
The people who find their way here are rarely beginners.
They are thoughtful, capable, often accomplished. They have done the reading, the therapy, the trainings. And something still feels unfinished. If that's where you are, the best next step is a conversation.
