FOUNDER • KYLE J. KRAMEK, YTT200
I am a multi-faceted holistic wellness enthusiast with a diverse background and a deep passion for well-being. My foundation in yoga has led me toward humbly guiding others through their personal journeys of self-discovery, inspired by the teachers who have made such a rich impact along my own path.
My Journey
My path towards holistic wellness began with a quest for healing and meaning. Seeking relief from the crushing challenges of PTSD and depression, I discovered the transformative power of yoga and the Ayurvedic lifestyle. These ancient practices became a lifeline, offering me tools to break free from the confines of my past and the ability to envision a future grounded in new perspectives and self-concept.
A Life of Service
In addition to my yoga journey, I dedicated 20 years of my life to military service and have been a social studies teacher for the past 16 years. My military service gifted me with discipline, commitment, and resilience, while teaching high schoolers has impressed on me the value of patience, empathy, and nurturance, all qualities that meld into my yoga practice. In addition, as a parent to five children, I understand the daily challenges and weighty responsibilities that many of us face. I believe that yoga can empower each of us to navigate life's intricacies while finding moments of peace and self-care in our own unique flow.
Friday Night Roots
I am also the founder of Friday Night Roots, an initiative dedicated to developing connections in a mindful setting. Through Friday Night Roots social events (“A night out, with intention.”) we offer opportunities for individuals to connect, grow, and foster meaningful relationships in a positive, engaging environment.
Reiki Training
In addition to my yoga and holistic practices, I am Level 1 Reiki certified. Reiki is a gentle and powerful healing technique that complements my holistic approach to well-being. I offer Reiki to balance energy, reduce stress, and promote the body’s natural healing processes.
Teaching Philosophy
My intention is always to create a nurturing and inclusive space for self-discovery through yoga, meditation, breathwork, and Reiki. The values of safety, self-trust, and compassion inform my teaching style, and I draw on my background in leadership to hold a strong space for others to experience their personal unfolding.
