Since the sprouting age of 6, Kayla had begun unknowingly practicing the ancient art of Yoga. Pranayama, meditation and postures were the silent friend in her life amidst an ever changing environment. Growing up in a military family, Kayla feared the hardening shell around her heart. Yoga was the softening and grounding solace that opened the threshold to being a kinder and more tender human.
Through this, Kayla devoted herself to years of selfless service. Manifesting this through many different careers, some that left her jaded, she finally wandered into Jai Yoga School. Experiencing a life of constant movement and uprooting, opening the doors to Jai felt like coming home.
Within a year, Kayla went from taking her very first yoga class to becoming a teacher. The unwavering compassion and guidance from Meg + Dustin Horan allowed her the courage to make the pilgrimage to India. In Rishikesh, Kayla completed her 200hr certification under the care of Guru VishnuJi and teachers where she studied Ashtanga, Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga.
Since her initial class, Kayla’s unwavering pursuit has always been to create a safe environment for each student to fully express, explore and embody themselves. She wishes to pour out bhakti into every soul, inviting them to take a piece of love and devotion to carry with them throughout their journey.
When Kayla isn’t serving you at the studio, she enjoys all things art, reading, dancing and spending time with Mother Earth!
