Move Into Ease

Led by Kyla Pearce

All of us, at one point or another, experience changes in our lives that we don’t like. When this happens, we can call upon our inner strength to be present with--instead of run away from--our challenges. We can also call upon our capacity to let go of needing things to be different. This balance, of inner strength and letting go, opens up our potential to find an even deeper sense of steadiness and ease in our lives.

Kyla (she/her) serves as the Senior Director of Programs and Research, overseeing the design, implementation, and evaluation of LoveYourBrain programs on a large scale. By turning inward through mindfulness, Kyla believes we learn to be with our whole selves with greater compassion, which is fundamental to wellbeing and inspiring positive social change. Kyla has blended her expertise as a yoga and mindfulness teacher and practitioner, researcher, and advocate to develop evidence-based, TBI-centered yoga and meditation curricula, which she trains yoga teachers and clinicians to deliver in clinical, community, and online settings. She recently completed a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Dartmouth College investigating the impact of yoga and meditation for people with neurological conditions, and has published broadly on this topic. She has been part of the Pearce family for years, and, following Kevin's accident, played an integral role in the launch of LoveYourBrain.
