Ariel Kiley

The carousel above tells the story of how James Gandolfini impacted my life with one question while I was guest-starring on an episode of The Sopranos at 19. Here’s what I learned: Being more and more yourself is an inside job… And it is my life’s work to show you how. My conscious fitness program Fit Bod Life is where you remember who you are—through embodied movement, strength, mobility and a life-affirming positive approach. I’d love to have you… Link in bio @arielkiley to start → $49/month FitBodLife.com #TheSopranos #Embodiment #consciousfitness #SomaticMovement #OnlineFitness

Red Light Lit is over the moon to welcome @arielkiley for her first performance with us this Thursday @homesteadsessions Desert High⭐️She’ll be reading her own work and dancing to @kellyebsary ’s rendition of “I’ll Be Seeing You”— and trust us, you do not want to miss this one. Ariel Kiley thinks of living as a creative act. A graduate of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, she focused on tragic heroines in literature, theater, and film — an obsession that coincided with playing a doomed stripper in a controversial episode of The Sopranos. She co-wrote Smitten: The Way of the Brilliant Flirt (Chronicle Books, 2013), a dating book weaving self-realization with flirtation, and has spent the last two decades exploring freedom through the body and self-expression. As a yoga therapist and Somatic Experiencing trauma resolution practitioner, she works at the intersection of the body, the nervous system, and the self. Her latest project, HeroineStrong, transforms fitness classes into fairytales. Photo by @kateshearerstudio #arielkiley #redlightlit #joshuatreeartist #homesteadsessions

April delivered. Friends friends friends. A big snake. Rocks, hot springs, music, dance. Reading. Digging holes. Skies.
