Hi, I’m Kayla — yoga instructor, founder of Golden Mat Yoga, and lifelong believer in movement as medicine.

I’m a certified yoga instructor and proud graduate of HealBFLO’s 200-hour teacher training, where I trained with the intention of teaching and helping others feel empowered through movement and mindfulness. Yoga reminds me that strength isn’t just physical; it’s mental. It’s emotional. It’s the inner voice that says, yes, I can.

By day, I work as a Project Manager, and I’m completing my MBA from West Texas A&M. Whether I’m managing teams, guiding students, or training in the gym, I show up with a growth mindset. I believe in owning your story — because the way you move through life becomes the narrative you write.

I live with my amazing husband, Ragnar, and our two mini golden retrievers, Rocky and Ruby. We love getting outside and finding new places to explore together. Traveling is another passion of mine — I’m always inspired by the people, cultures, and perspectives I encounter. It’s a reminder that growth lives just beyond our comfort zones — a lesson I carry into my teaching, and one I hope to share with others both on and off the mat.

To me, yoga is a journey of self-exploration and intentional living. It’s about showing up exactly as you are and choosing growth — over and over again. Golden Mat Yoga is built on that foundation: lightness and strength, stillness and movement, discipline and joy. And always, the invitation to begin again.

💛 I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s practice together soon.
