Kyra Weinberger: The Burlesque Queen of Kansas City

Kyra tells us, “All good things in my life are because of my parents.”

Her parents were dancers, they’re liberal, kind-hearted humans, who found Ashtanga yoga first. They brought Kyra to her first class.

However, at that time, Kyra was deeply struggling with bulimia and anorexia. And although the class made an imprint, a spark was lit. It wasn’t until after she left treatment that she was fully able to return to it. Diving headfirst with an openness to receiving it's healing effects.

Today we’re talking about identity, hidden wounds, and how sometimes, even with the best upbringing and family, we struggle with our own darkness. The good news is there’s freedom when we compassionately embrace our shadows, find the courage to bring it into the light, and invite them to dance!

Kyra Weinberger grew up with dance, music, and yoga filling her home. She took the path of musical theater and ballet performing with professional companies from the age of 8. It was her first love and career, but it was not a forever love. Kyra knew at 19 years old, walking out of her first Intro to Ashtanga class she had found something that had always been missing. Unfortunately, the path wasn't exactly simple. Having dealt with an eating disorder and the anxiety for many years, it was not until recovery that a real practice was possible. The practice of Ashtanga has given Kyra tools to create a life of discipline and love.
