Who I Am
Kay Kay first discovered yoga at 14 after a car accident injured her back and abruptly ended her competitive aerobics career. In her native country, Czech Republic, she discovered power yoga, which offered strength, flexibility, and physical challenge to satisfy her athletic drive.
Kay Kay’s journey into the philosophical and spiritual aspects of yoga came much later, when she moved to Canada in 2012 and met her future mentor, Tina Pashumati James She completed her 300-hour yoga teacher training with Tina in Whistler, British Columbia, in 2014.
Since then Kay Kay has combined her love of yoga and travel, completing trainings in Latin America and splitting her time between Mexico and Canada.
In Guatemala, she attended the Moon Course at Las Pirámides in San Marcos de Laguna. This month-long immersion dives into the four elements—earth, air, water, fire—and the connection to the four bodies: physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic.
Her passion for learning then brought her to Hridaya Yoga in Manzute, Oaxaca, Mexico, where she attended a Hatha yoga training, focusing on the connection to the heart and the relationship between each chakra. In this training she gained a heightened awareness of the energies within herself and around her.
In 2018 Kay Kay attended Yandara Yoga Institute in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, Mexico, where she completed a 100-hour Bhakti & Mantra training and a 100-hour Yin & Restorative yoga training.
Now a 500-hour certified yoga teacher through the Yoga Alliance, Kay Kay draws on her diverse training to infuse her classes with a blend of many yoga styles.
