Kayla Mancuso

Kayla was first introduced to yoga and meditation at the age of 5 when her parents took her to the Zen Buddhist Temple in Ann Arbor, MI. Growing up in a household where there was an emphasis on spirituality and the mind-body connection helped her to maintain an interest throughout her life. 

Now, having practiced yoga for over 20 years, Kayla enjoys sharing the passion that she's cultivated for yoga throughout her life with others through teaching. 

She completed her teacher training at the Plymouth Yoga Room in Plymouth, MI in 2010. There, she became certified in teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa/Yoga Flow style yoga. Additionally, Kayla has a strong interest and background in teaching prenatal and children's yoga. 

Kayla has attended workshops and practiced with Beryl Bender Birch, and is continually learning more about yoga through her own practice as well as teaching others and researching. The proven benefits, both physically and emotionally, that practicing yoga provides has always been of great interest to her.

Kayla also has a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Philosophy from Eastern Michigan University and a background in personal training. She currently lives in Kalamazoo, MI with her husband and has 2 children, ages 1 and 4.
