About Kayla Nielsen
Teacher, entrepreneur & creator practicing yoga both on & off of the mat.
I am a yoga teacher, humanitarian, and entrepreneur who is dedicated to serving people, animals, and the planet through environmental service.
As the daughter of a yoga teacher, I have been practicing yoga asana for .
Over time, the practice of Yoga has expanded beyond the physical & into a mental, spiritual, and holistic approach to life.
I’ve accumulated over 1,000 hours of training from a variety of schools, styles, and methodologies around the world including: Baptiste Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Budokan, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reiki, and Yogic Philosophy.
In the last 9 years, I’ve crafted a unique style by pulling bits and pieces from my continuous study and my own life’s evolution.
I share my in-person offerings through international retreats and YTTs with my business GLOW Yoga Retreats. Additionally, I own and operate my own retreat center, Still Salty Escape, located in Northern Nicaragua.
I hope you can practice with me in person one day soon!
