Love Notes from past SRY Trainees

“I’m so glad I found you Kaya. Thank you for guiding me towards where I’m meant to be, dharma-wise, and pointing out my blind spots. I think of you every time I teach and how you’ve taught me almost everything I know. Kaya's teachings continually layer in and build on depth of philosophical understanding that has truly helped me. Not only to heal from my pain, but to become the teacher that I am today. Kaya’s radiant clarity has made her my go-to treasure trove of knowledge for troubleshooting my yoga therapy and meditation work with others. It’s incredibly valuable for me to have Kaya as my guide as I guide others. Plus, I just love her." ~ Lauren Ziegler, Yoga Therapist and Meditation Guide


"Kaya’s knowledge is vast and her communication is so clear, her presence so unencumbered by personal issues or needing validation from her students, that the teaching is extremely accessible. She’s totally organized and calm, clearly in her element and the pace is measured - never rushed but never lagging. She is aware of everyone as individuals and of the whole group at the same time. The whole experience allows for as easeful as possible a download of both the intellectual information and the energetics of the teaching that’s coming through." ~ Susan Lockary, SRY Teacher in Training


"Kaya is a teacher to her core!  She is steeped in knowledge and combines that knowledge with the artistry of teaching that is a God given gift and not something you can learn from a book. I walk away from every program inspired and empowered. I see the tremendous benefit in my personal life and those I teach as I apply her teachings in my personal and professional life. I am deeply grateful to have such a master teacher in my life!" - Barb Helms Bot, SRY Teacher


"I wanted to take a minute to say thank you from deep in my heart for your teachings this weekend. I walked away feeling at ease and peaceful. Physically I felt amazing! Prior to yesterday I have been experiencing a very low energy, busy mind, hyper-sensitivity. I felt like princess and the pea. From the beginning of the weekend I began to feel more clear, relaxed and zen. Even my husband and the kids noticed. I felt like I hit the ‘reset’ button. – Yvette Racines, Studio Owner & Yoga Therapist


“Kaya's trainings for teachers are beautifully designed - significantly layered for depth yet simple and clear which has the student become experienced and confident in the material offered. Her approach is order yet natural and generally excellent in all ways. Her presence is clear, deeply knowledgeable and she incorporates the principles of yoga in context and content.” ~ Jen Rhoads, Yoga Teacher


“Kaya has a soft, but grounding, presence in the room. She holds a very nurturing space for everyone to invite us to surrender into the asanas, into the breath, and into ourselves. I love how concise and simple her directions are, without the need the ‘fluff’ up the language. I find her handouts very useful, [they keep] us engaged during and after the classes. I love how Kaya weaves teachings of the Sutras, Vedanta, and Upanishads into her teaching. They don't feel random, but rather, very integrative.” ~ Elaine Oyang, Yoga Therapist & Nutritionist


“Kaya has a welcoming approach in her teaching style that brings the best out of each student. There is a clear sense of safety for exploration and self expression. Her teachings are always deep, thorough and well thought out. She is an expert at delivering and she is a joy to work with.” ~ Beth Lefebvre, Yoga Therapist


“I love her very clear, focused, patient style of instruction. The handouts are wonderful. She keeps things simple and understandable. She is really the only yoga trainer I’ve had who provides clear, focused instruction that inspires me and leaves me feeling that I've learned something substantial and with tools that I can use and experience on my own. Thank you Kaya, for all that you've shared with us!” – Patty Schmidt, Yoga Teacher & Pelvic Health Specialist

About Kaya's Approach to Live Study
The Classical Way To Learn

Our precious time in one another’s presence is the classical way to learn healing techniques. As you delve into the direct experiences of profound yogic tools, you are emboldened to teach from a place of deep inner experience and integrity. Wonderfully, this means more healing and transformation for YOU on your path to learning to support others in their healing and transformation.  

Boutique In-Person Trainings with Kaya emphasize 4 key pillars –  
  1. Hands-On SRY tools – learn and practice hands-on therapeutic tools in the Spinal Release Yoga approach to releasing spinal tension
  2. Systematic and Holistic Pedagogy – engage in kinesthetic, tactile, auditory and visual learning capacities with a methodology for teaching teachers that allows you to successfully learn, digest and apply the material in the real world.
  3. Direct Experience – retreat-like immersion in the techniques heals YOU while you simultaneously learn to apply those tools to others
  4. Sharing Sangha – your community of supportive yogis grows and deepens as you spend several days learning, partner pairing and healing together.
*All studies with Kaya qualify as continuing education with the Yoga Alliance.
