Meet Kara & Brittany
Having completed their 200 hour teacher training at Kaia Yoga in Connecticut, Kara & Brittany are eager to share their combined knowledge, creativity, and passion for the profound practice of yoga with Nanaquaket Yoga Studio's beloved community 'Kula'.
Kara first explored mindful movement during her Shakespearean acting training at RADA in London. For the past 11 years, she has practiced abroad with influential teachers such as Cat Alip-Douglas (Jivamukti, London), Shiva Risi (Dharamsala, India) and Lara Roux (Yoga Shala in Cape Town) and she is delighted to be able to share all she knows and continues to learn with other practitioners in this Fairfield County community. Kara believes that beyond the grace of the meditative movement, the depth of the breath and pure joy of practicing with intent, that it is the soul connection one can experience on the mat which is the essence of yoga, and it is from this sacred place that she intends to teach.
Inspired by a lifelong pursuit of wellness of mind, body, and soul, Brittany left her career in corporate public relations to dedicate herself to the study, practice and teaching of yoga. Her dynamic teaching philosophy aims to create a playful, energizing space that promotes strength, flexibility, and growth. Rooted in the connection of breath to movement, her style combines challenging, creative sequencing with hands-on, alignment-based adjustments enhanced by subtle themes woven throughout each class.
