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

I am a certified yoga instructor and trained through HealBFLO’s 200 hour program, where I learned to teach in a way that helps others feel strong, present, and empowered. Yoga has shown me that strength is not only physical. It is mental, emotional, and the quiet confidence that says yes, I can.

I work full time as a Project Manager, and the same growth mindset I bring to my career guides me in my teaching. I believe in owning your story and moving through life with intention, because the way you show up becomes the narrative you create.

I live with my husband, Ragnar, and our two mini golden retrievers, Rocky and Ruby. We love being outdoors, exploring new places, and finding moments of joy in everyday life. Traveling and meeting new people continually inspire me and shape the way I teach.

To me, yoga is a journey of self exploration and intentional living. It is about showing up as you are, meeting yourself with compassion, and choosing growth again and again. That is the heart of Golden Mat Yoga and the energy I hope to share in every class.

💛 I am so glad you are here. Let’s practice together soon.
