Yoga with Kasondra
My name is Kasondra, and I'm a yoga teacher shaped by years of traveling and studying yoga around the world. Each place I've trained and practiced has offered me a more profound understanding of how we can use yoga to support our modern lives.
What I share and offer as a teacher comes from this weaving of experiences. I'm passionate about helping students discover or deepen their practice. When we use yogic practices as a tool, we begin to cultivate a calm and steady inner world so that we can show up in the outer world with presence, compassion and a little more room to breathe.
I offer classes for studios, private and group sessions, and corporate yoga.
Offerings
Hatha Yoga
Every style of modern yoga that you know has its root in Hatha. Hatha yoga is a foundational, slow yet strong practice designed to balance your opposing energies. The focus is on gentle breath pacing with longer holds in postures to teach you alignment and control.
Rooted in Patanjali's eight limbs, Ashtanga is a dynamic style of yoga where you link asana with breath. It features the same sequence every time so you can build strength, discipline and concentration. You will learn to connect asana with breath control (pranayama), one-point gazing (drishti) and locks (bandhas).
Ashtanga Vinyasa
Yin Yoga + Meditation
A slower-paced style of movement where we hold postures for 3-5 minutes, which promotes the release of tension and emotion stored in muscles and tissue. Yin is a meditative practice, so the challenge is in the stillness. Always accompanied by a meditation to leave you deeply relaxed and with a calm nervous system.
Breathwork
Discover the benefits of pranayama, our life force. With many styles for different physiological and psychological effects, you are sure to find the perfect method for what you are seeking.
My Journey to Yoga
I discovered yoga almost ten years ago at a time in my life when I felt disconnected from myself and who I was yearning to be. Through seeking a more balanced life, I became interested in Hindu and Buddhist traditions and through that, my interest in yoga began. I joined a small studio in my town and began to practice every style of yoga they offered. Sometimes I would take multiple classes in a day because the community and practice felt like home to me. While practicing there, the owner presented to me the idea to become a yoga teacher. I dismissed it as I believed at the time that I didn't have the capability to do something like that. Although yoga was still a constant in my life, I started working in corporate and even studied economics in university. Over time I realized just how deeply stressed and unhappy I was in my career life, I was questioning and doubting everything. After two years in university, I decided to pivot completely.
So I booked a 200-hour teacher training in Bali. I just went for it, and it was the catalyst for everything I dared to do since. I studied hatha, vinyasa, ashtanga vinyasa, pranayama, meditation, Vedic history and philosophy. It felt like every question I was seeking an answer to began to show itself to me, I only wanted more. I went back home and decided to continue my self-practice as I didn't feel quite ready to be a teacher. I joined an Ashtanga Vinyasa studio and dove headfirst into that method of yoga. I had never experienced something so aligned with what I needed. Those 90 minutes of practice made me feel lighter, as if I was floating. I felt strong, capable, disciplined, confident and balanced. Those feelings leaked into every other aspect of my life. From there I booked a 300-hour Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher training in India where I practiced intensely, learned from incredibly experienced teachers and deepened my knowledge of other yogic practices such as pranayama and meditation. When I was nearing the end of the training and my time in Rishikesh, I knew I was ready to share this ancient practice with others. I wanted them to experience everything that I had and to understand that yoga is a lifelong journey, that there is no rush to arrive.
