I was first introduced to Yoga, as a

I lived a very simple and pure existence, in tune with the surrounding elements. I continued pursing my practice ... read more

Kyra began taking power vinyasa yoga classes as a way to work out in 2005. As she practiced more often, she noticed her concentration improving, as well as a growing sense of being at peace with (and in) her body. As her yoga practice became stronger and more consistent, she noticed that she was more patient, and more comfortable allowing her life to happen rather than trying to control it. She now feels her practice as a consistent source of peace, sweetness, and joy, no matter what is happening off the mat! ... read more

It wasn't until ... read more
