✨Yoga Teacher Spotlight✨
We asked our teachers a few fun questions so our students will get to know ALL of our fabulous instructors!
Meet Ciara 💜
1. What inspired you to start practicing yoga?
I started practice @ Golds Gym (age: 17, current: 31) - I was seeking wellness/boundaries through yoga, pilates & kickboxing - I took gymnastics at a young age so have always been drawn to physical movement.
I’ve struggled with anxiety & insomnia since childhood and saw benefits from adapting yoga into my day to day, evolving. Yoga held me. Yoga practice grew with me every year, integrated into each phase of my life. Given me strength & courage - to move forward, persevere, and remain curious. This practice stayed with me, grounded me through addiction in my 20’s. Constant validation, inspiration, creation. I am eternally grateful to the indigenous tradition, wisdom & foundation.
••all I want to do is pour back into my community, the way this practice has poured into me ~ blessed & blessing••
2. What’s one tip you’d give someone brand new to yoga?
Be intentional with your breath! — witness without judgement, it doesn’t matter what it looks like, it’s matters what it feels like - it’s your practice always do what serves you best.
3. Go-to song for your yoga playlist?
Anthem / Instrumental : FKJ
4. If you weren’t teaching yoga, what would you be doing?
Joining the circus 🎪🔥 Gigging in the performance/entertainment industry as a Fire-Performer which I have done since 2016. Dance & Music have a huge influence/impact in my life, as well as Yoga, art, and nature.
