Kayla Wightman is certified as a Kunga yoga teacher. Kayla became a consistent practitioner in 2020 when she desired a sense of community to fill the void of no longer being a student-athlete. Upon introduction to Wilmington Yoga Center she began taking classes in the hot room and fell in love with the discipline, strength, and focus she felt while on her mat
She completed her first 200-hour yoga certification through the UNCW Yoga Minor Studies program, alongside her Bachelors of Science in Exercise Science. Kayla also completed a second 200-hour yoga certification through the Kunga Yoga School at Wilmington Yoga Center. Upon completion of both programs , she registered with Yoga Alliance in 2022.
Her primary teachers include Jessica Bichler, Jessica Hartmann, Heather Metzler, and Holler Brown. Kayla aims to teach a mixed and open style of yoga focused on alignment and exploration of the breath through postures. She is passionate about sharing the healing benefits of yoga on and off the mat.
