Yoga

Namaste! My mission is to help you feel comfortable & empowered in your body. Yoga & Qigong show us how to de-program conditioned, mechanical movement patterns & train us for functional, organic movement habits. I consider Yoga to be the ultimate self-care modality. Yoga asana creates balance & harmony on physical, emotional, mental & spiritual levels & it perfects the body. 

I have almost 40 years of experience in yoga practice & have studied with a variety of senior teachers, all from the Krishnamacharia lineage. I am offering both group classes and private yoga sessions on this platform. My style is highly influenced by Qigong which is seamlessly integrated in the practice. 

ESL:
I am also happy assist you in improving your English.  I will introduce you to  variety of techniques which will enable you to become fluent rapidly. I am a native English speaker with a neutral American accent. I am currently not offering ESL until after the new year, and I am also not currently accepting children. 

Prior to 2020, I worked as a massage therapist and yoga instructor. I have a Bachelors Degree in Holistic Health science.  I am interested in yoga, meditation, self-care and natural healing. I love beautiful natural places such as the beach and mountains. My classes are offered in a relaxed tone with no pressure or stress. We enjoy the learning process together.

Namaste!  My classes are a unique style which will reward you with satisfying progress and results if you are consistent. I emphasize a solid foundation of basic skills that are ideally mastered before attempting advanced yoga asanas. This enables you to find your way naturally into the postures while avoiding injury or discomfort.  My classes will guide you on your yoga journey of self-discovery as your body opens. Yoga is the ultimate self-care practice, providing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits. My classes will work every part of your body and leave you feeling calm, grounded in embodied. Please contact me directly for private lessons or attend a class! Namaste

Thanks for the great class today! So happy you offer class 5 days a week!

Kamala is a kind spirit with a gentle soul, thoughtful, and patient. Her tailored yoga practice is a great mix of strength, flow, deep breathing, and relaxation.  Kamala's class is fun and at the same time she really pushes you. She is also very attentive and will adapt her exercises depending on your level and what you need.  I’ve been practicing yoga with Kamala for a while and I can definitely observe noticeable differences in my body – I gained so much flexibility and strength.  I just love the yoga class with Kamala. She is absolutely fantastic.

Kamala is the best! She is a living example of what it means to be a yogi. So glad to have found a great teacher and online yoga friend!

I'm thrilled to find Kamala again after so many years! She's clearly very dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable. She incorporates several traditions to lead focused, energizing classes. She can visualize modifications that participants may need despite being online. Wonderful!

Kamala is a very skilled yoga instructor. She has studied with practitioners in India, the country where yoga originated. She can teach you to become an expert, too!

Kamala can do yoga poses I have never seen anyone else do.  She has an amazing combination of strength and flexibility.  She has trained with highly acclaimed yogis and has worked to perfect her practice her entire life.  She has natural teaching abilities and can give you individual instruction without being judgmental.  I don't think you could find a better yoga instructor than Kamala
