Kayla had her first yoga class as a teen when it suddenly became the new trend in her hometown, a small city south of China, and decided yoga was not for her. It took 10 years for yoga to find her again during a weekend retreat in a Buddhism temple nearby Shanghai, where she felt a sense of deeper connection with her body like meeting a new familiar friend for the first time.
Led by her first teacher Ganesha Singh, she continued to nurture and deepen this body connection with asana practice, and later on extended her exploration into breathing and meditation to create space to pause and ponder in the buzzy life in Shanghai. She moved to Amsterdam in 2021, and inspired by the amazing teaching of Gregory Lennon and Gretchen Garnett, she completed 200-hour teacher training and found her voice to share and teach in 2022.
Her classes are dynamic and flowy, grounded and playful, where she encourages the consciousness to move, to breathe and to explore.
