Our Philosophy
"A welcome space for mindfulness, movement, breath work, and restoration"
We help people build a more compassionate, balanced relationship with their bodies through intention rather than intensity. Our goal is to help guide you into a consistent practice — whether 10 min or 90 min, slow or fast, in your home, outdoors or in a studio. A consistent practice that is aligned with your body and needs will result in increased joy, peace, strength, and confidence.
Kira's approach is rooted in the Iyengar tradition — a slower, more deliberate pace that emphasizes precise alignment and the generous use of props. Every body is different. Every class meets you exactly where you are.
What to Expect
Gentle yoga in the Iyengar style.
Designed for every body.
✦
Iyengar Inspired
Precise alignment, thoughtful cueing, and props to support every body. Safety and insight guide every sequence.
✦

Max 8 students per class. You're not lost in a crowd — Kira learns your name, your goals, and your body.
✦

About Kira
A natural teacher who has been a beginner herself.
Kira found yoga in 1999 while experiencing arthritis pain during hikes and high-impact cardio. She discovered the value in a weekly practice. When pregnant with her first son, she dove into a more consistent practice and began exploring breath work and meditation.
In 2010, encouraged by her mentors, she joined the studio as an instructor. Her yoga mentors Kate and Jim described her as a "Natural teacher." Students consistently speak about feeling relief from tightness and aches, stronger muscle tone, improved balance, and better overall mood.
"In 2015, Kira fell from a second-story balcony and broke her pelvis, sacrum, tailbone, two vertebrae, and her left arm. She was teaching yoga again two months after leaving the hospital — and became a beginner again in the most profound way."
That experience layered her teaching with extraordinary depth and empathy. She had the knowledge but had to find her new body and trust its new limits. What began as a setback became a silver lining — the poses became new. Her students felt the difference.
Off the mat, Kira loves cycling, weight training, walking the beach, cooking, nutrition, meditation, traveling, and remodeling homes.
Accolades
"Kira moves with strength, certainty, and power.
She is open to the mystery, to the awesome, to the unknown. Many of her great ah ha's have come from creating more space in her body, relaxing and letting go. There is power in claiming some time for our self and bravery in being willing to look deeply within.
Kira is a natural teacher. She offers clear and detailed instruction in a strong and peaceful manner. I think she will be a wonderful gift to others on the yogic path."
