Kira

Kira’s first Vipassana retreat showed her something she hadn’t known she was missing. Everything happening in her outer world was a reflection of patterns running quietly inside, ones she had never thought to examine. She found that those patterns could be seen, and that what can be seen can be changed. Change what is happening inside, and the outside takes care of itself. That understanding has shaped everything she has taught.

Kira has been teaching yoga since 2013, trained in Russia, China, and India, with deep roots in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Therapeutic Yoga. Her studies in eastern philosophy, Vipassana, Tibetan Buddhism, and somatic therapies bring a rare depth to her teaching. She overcame a serious back injury and now weaves therapeutic approaches into her classes, meeting each student where they are. At this retreat she leads the morning yoga sessions and the evening experiential practices that give the Metta work a home in the body.
