Kelley Edwards
Kelley Edwards, Owner of Be Moved Yoga & Wellness in Crystal Lake, E-RYT 750.
A love for movement from the moment I was born has grown into a life and career that's better than I could have imagined. Now, as a Yoga Alliance certified E-RYT 750-Hour Yoga Instructor, I get to guide others into a deeper relationship with themselves through many styles of yoga. With over a decade of practice and continuing education in Vinyasa, Power, Yin, Restorative, Nidra, and Therapeutics, I have truly found my calling. Through my own journey, I have been met with obstacles (as we all have), that taught me the importance of self-care and self-love. These experiences have kept me a student and kept me researching and exploring new avenues to health. I am constantly inspired by the way the
body wants to heal and I share all I find with my community because we are in this
together. If we can feel better in our own bodies, hearts, and minds, then we are better able to take care of others. I am currently working towards my 1000 hour certification to become a Yoga Therapeutic Specialist.

Saturday Workshop 11am: The Female Phases in a Circadian World:Understanding Hormonal Rhythms in a Clock-Driven Culture
In a world ruled by 9-to-5s, productivity hacks, and caffeine-fueled hustle, women are quietly burning out—not because they’re weak, but because they’re wired differently.
Female bodies don’t run on the same 24-hour clock that shaped the modern workday. They run on a monthly rhythm—four distinct phases, each with its own energetic superpowers (and shutdowns). When we ignore that rhythm, we lose connection, clarity, and capacity.
Through the lens of Chinese Medicine, hormone physiology, and cycle syncing, you’ll learn how to align your energy with your inner seasons—and stop measuring your worth by how productive you are on any given Tuesday.

Dr. Gayle Bereskin, DO
Dr. Gayle Bereskin, DO (she/her) is a board-certified physician in family medicine and hospice and palliative medicine. With nearly 30 years of clinical experience, she specializes in hospice and palliative care, with additional interest in integrative therapies. Dr. Bereskin is trained in acupuncture, osteopathic manipulative therapies including cranial sacral work, and the expressive arts. Dr. Bereskin is trained in psychedelic-assisted therapies through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, completing an extensive year-long program with Cohort 5. Dr. Bereskin has collaborated with multiple hospice agencies, providing home care and care center services. She has been an integral part of several hospital inpatient palliative medicine teams, demonstrating her expertise across the hospice and palliative medicine spectrum. Traditional medical models often fall short in addressing the profound grief and demoralization associated with life-limiting illnesses and the loved ones who care for those suffering with those chronic illnesses. Dr. Bereskin advocates for the use of ketamine-assisted therapy as a
complement to conventional treatments. This approach targets the core issues of palliative care patients’ and their loved ones/caregivers’ grief and anxiety offering a fresh perspective and opportunities for healing, finding new meaning, and connections. Her practice locations have included Colorado and Auckland, New Zealand, and she is currently based in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.
