Upon my graduation, as a Yoga Instructor, I was given the name, "Kavela," by my teachers. "Kavela," meaning, "The Lotus Flower," is to be in harmony with our values; the Lotus Flower symbolizes purity and transcendence.  Although the flower is rooted in the mud, its flowers blossom on long stalks as if floating above the muddy waters, transcending its environment.  Now more than ever, our world, our environment, is "muddy," but that beautiful lotus flower is each of us. We still want to achieve our goals and live our dream life even though at times it seems our world and environment make it impossible. For me, living the Kavela Life is living a healthy, content, and balanced life; spending time with loved ones, enjoying my favorite things, being able to provide a happy home for my family, and truly being free to really live life to the fullest.  

 

What is the Kavela Life for you? What would make you truly happy? How can you rise above those, "Muddy Waters," and become all that you are meant to be? Everyone wants to live their best life. We all experience tough times. It is during these times that we can find out who we are and what we really want and don’t want in this life. With inner strength, we all have the ability to rise above and achieve and be all that we are meant to be in our lifetime. We just have to believe in ourselves and go for it. 

 

Kavela Life seeks to inspire and promote good health through fitness by incorporating yoga, cardio training, and weight training for all levels to create a strong mind, body, and soul.

 

I hope that I can inspire you to live your best life, to believe in yourself and live your Kavela Life!
