McKala is from Canton, Georgia and moved to Nashville in 2019 to attended Belmont University.  It is here in Nashville that she started her yoga journey in May of 2020. The gyms closed due to Covid and she could not exercise at a facility.  She decided to take up yoga and immediately fell in love with it and continued to practice for the rest of 2020. Through the pandemic she decided that she wanted to pursue teaching yoga. She graduated her 200 hour in March 2021.

“I’m so happy I get to share this amazing practice with others. Yoga is a beautiful thing. It has challenged me physically and mentally, showing me that I am capable of more than I thought. As my instructors did for me, I want to help my students reach their goals and grow in their yoga journey.”
