Certified 200 Hour Yoga Teacher and Certified Aerial Yoga Specialist.Kayla has a beautiful daughter, an incredibly supportive boyfriend, and his teenage son. They have a chihuahua and an Alaskan Malamute who are both 11 years old. Kayla works for a cybersecurity company and teaches yoga on the weekends. She was born with Congenital heart disease which has been a continuous battle throughout her life. This is her story... "In November 2016 I walked into Sunshine Yoga Shack a very different person from the person I am today. Back then, I had a lot of things going on both physically and emotionally. I started going to classes regularly and was amazed at how fast my body was changing. I felt good. I was getting stronger and I had more energy. Something else was changing as well, but I didn’t notice it at first. My mindset was changing and getting stronger. All of a sudden I didn’t feel like a weak person anymore. I started to believe that I could do things I never thought I was capable of before. I also started developing friendships and found myself surrounded by a community of people who supported and encouraged me. I fell in love with the person yoga allowed me to become. This journey led me to start teaching aerial yoga in June of 2017 and then earn my RYT in December of 2017. My yoga practice allowed me to build the self-confidence and courage I needed to make the necessary changes in my life to be happy and work towards my potential. My goal is to continue to grow in my practice and share the experience with the amazing tribe at Sunshine Yoga Shack."
