Wild and Sturdy
Meet Kimberlea
My yoga journey began in 2005, born out of a need to create balance and stability amidst the chaos of raising four incredible, unique, and challenging children. Their needs catalyzed my search for peace and self-discovery—enter yoga.
Yoga not only healed my heart and transformed my relationship with myself, but it also brought harmony to my family. I knew early on that this was more than a practice; it was my calling. In 2008, I traveled to Rishikesh, India, where I completed my initial 200-hour teacher training at the Inland School of Yoga, immersing myself in the birthplace of yoga.
Since then, my teaching journey has flourished:
I’ve led workshops on topics ranging from alignment and restoration to chakras and embodiment.
My retreats have spanned in-state locales and international destinations, including Costa Rica, Mexico, Hawaii, Peru, Bonaire (Caribbean), Italy, Portugal, and Morocco.
I’ve appeared in six episodes of YogaToday.com, sharing my teachings with an international audience.
My private sessions have reached both individuals and large corporations, including New Belgium Brewery.
Throw everything but your intention into the fire of transformation
What to Expect in My Classes
My teaching style is rooted in inclusivity and innovation. Whether you're practicing chair yoga, tackling advanced asanas, or exploring mindfulness techniques, my classes meet you where you are. I emphasize alignment, thoughtful modifications, and sustainability, creating a practice that supports you for a lifetime.
But my classes go beyond the poses. As I often tell my students, “The poses are all gimmicks to get you here. Yoga is truly about the breath, your heart’s alignment, your energy, and mental clarity—all the unseen parts of you."
Yoga isn’t about touching your toes or achieving a perfect posture—it’s about self-awareness. What are you learning about your patterns, your inner dialogue, or your reactions to challenges? Those answers are the true practice.
My Philosophy
I don’t see myself as a group fitness instructor. My purpose is to teach wholeness through yoga. This practice is for those ready to transform, to embrace themselves fully, and to live in alignment with their heart and soul.
Let’s move, breathe, and discover together.
Yoga is not for everyone…it is only for those ready for transformation
With over 15,000 teaching hours, I bring an unparalleled depth of experience to my classes. My training includes advanced certifications through Yoga Medicine, with specialties in Women’s Reproductive Health, Yoga Anatomy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Neurobiology of Yoga, and Mental Health. I also hold certifications in Acrobatic Arts (Levels 1 and 2) and have a unique passion for making inversions and hand-balancing accessible to everyone.
In addition to teaching, I’m a content creator and yoga educator, producing online classes, workshops, and resources for a global audience. My platforms include YouTube, Insight Timer, and social media, where I blend the timeless wisdom of yoga with modern-day accessibility. My work aims to inspire transformation and make wellness education available to all.
