Her life journey has allowed her to teach high school biology in Liberia, study Public Service in graduate school, and work in nonprofits across Milwaukee over the past few years. All of these experiences have led her to pursue her dream to be of service to her community through liberating movement rooted in her values of joy and dignity for everyone.

All of the gifts and breakthrough moments received from her over years of practice is what she is eager to offer to students of all levels, identities, shapes, and life experiences through a trauma-aware lens. Whether through power, chair/wheelchair, or restorative yoga, Kayla guides yoga to deepen her own practice, and guides others to find the greatest teacher within themselves along the way.
