About Kaya: Born in Jersey and a lifelong active girlie, Kaya began her yoga practice in 2015. After attending a couple of classes, she quickly realized that yoga was so much more than a physical practice, it also provided her the space to release, let go, and connect deeper to herself. Once she completed her teacher training she began leading and supporting various communities across the U.S. to spread the power of yoga both on and off the mat. Over the years, she’s continued to expand her knowledge getting certified in multiple modalities and attending numerous health and wellness workshops to expand her knowledge. She’s connected with 1000’s of students to create spaces for people to feel empowered and connected with themselves. Her mission is to guide each of her students, specifically Black women, to glow and grow from the inside out.
