Kyla Pearce

she/her/hers - Norwich, VT

LYB Mindset Facilitator, LYB Retreat Team, LYB Training Team

About me: I am the Senior Director of Programs, Research, and Operations at LYB, overseeing the design, implementation, and evaluation of LoveYourBrain programs on a large scale. I blend my expertise as a yoga and mindfulness teacher and practitioner, researcher, and advocate to develop evidence-based, TBI-centered yoga curricula, and train yoga teachers and clinicians to deliver through yoga studios and health care facilities across the United States and Canada. I teach the LoveYourBrain Yoga and Mindset programs and co-facilitate LoveYourBrain Retreats across the country. I recently completed a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Dartmouth College investigating the impact of yoga and meditation for people with neurological conditions. 

Why LYB: I have been part of the Pearce family for years, and, following Kevin's accident, played an integral role in the launch of LoveYourBrain. By turning inward through yoga, I believe we learn to be with our whole selves with greater compassion, which is fundamental to wellbeing and inspiring positive social change.

Superhero: Anyone who leans into adversity for learning and growth.
