Kula Yoga

About Us “I love this practice. Through yoga, I have found more strength and ease in body, and more authenticity in my life. Mindfulness reminds me of the extraordinary capacity of the mind to grow and change. I’ll always be a student, inspired, and eager to learn.” THE VISION Kula Yoga’s vision is to bring the ancient wisdom of yoga to modern yogis of all ages and abilities. THE STORY The wanderings of my twenties found me, much to my surprise, traveling overland from Europe to India. I lived for a year in temples, huts and on beaches, washed my clothes in the rivers and absorbed teachings on yoga and meditation. It wasn’t until I returned to the USA that I began a physical yoga practice at a community college, and at the SFIntegral Yoga Institute in exchange for pulling weeds. I put the practice aside for years, short on time and money, while I raised a family but knew I would come back. Running and swimming kept me fit enough until a running injury required I stop. I made my way to Kaya Yoga in Davis, California and it’s been a mad love affair ever since. I enrolled in Kaya Yoga’s 200 hour Certified Yoga Teacher Training in 2011 to deepen my practice. I loved the immersion into philosophy, anatomy, alignment, pranayama and meditation and relished every moment. I didn’t expect to teach, but found myself intensely drawn to the challenge of bringing the teachings of yoga to others.
