One Love Panama with Kayla Copeland and Delaney Puhek

Kayla Copeland was first introduced to yoga by her mom in 2003, as a teenager. It wasn't long after that she found herself attending classes (almost) every day after school. She knew she was hooked when she would skip out on school to go to yoga. She continued with her steady yoga practice through college and then decided, 'it was time!' and began the beautiful journey of teaching. She dove into her first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Sri Dharma Mittra in New York City. Kayla has also been greatly inspired by Eoin Finn, Richard Freeman, Meghan Currie, David Swenson, and Aimee Nitzberg along with many more. She has studied extensively with Sri Dharma Mittra, Aimee Nitzberg, Kenny Graham, and Hannah Muse and has received over 500 hours of yoga training.

Kayla incorporates a focus on wellbeing and mindfulness to each and every one of her classes. Alongside fluid movement and breath awareness, she belives in yoga as a tool to connect with our whole selves, from the inside out. Amidst teaching full time at Pleasure Point Yoga, in Santa Cruz CA, hosting retreats around the world, and all the beautiful little details that life has to offer, Kayla very much enjoys the arts. She delicately weaves an essence of creativity and inspiration into each class.

Delaney is a Holistic Health Practitioner working, teaching and growing in the field of integrative medicine and therapeutics since 2012. She focuses on wellness through yoga, nutrition, and mindfulness. At a young age Delaney found healing from her emotional and physical ailments in the form of yoga and ever since has been impassioned on the quest to find tools to help align the physical, mental and spiritual bodies and create true wellbeing. She completed her 200-hour Interdisciplinary yoga teacher training the the jungles of Costa Rica at the Nosara Yoga Institute, with Don and Amba Stapleton in 2012. She later went on to receive her 700-hour Holistic Nutrition Certificate from Bauman College. Most recently Delaney has completed the HeartMath Certificate Course and completed a Teacher Mastery course to feed her bottomless hunger to grow as a mentor.

Her continued studies reflect her own experience with healing. Through extensive study, research, self-experimentation, and form training she has developed an enthusiasm and passion to dedicate her life to studying and sharing what she has learned with others through private consultation, group classes, and blogging. Today Delaney teaches and practices yoga, nutrition consulting and mindset coaching all along the CA coast and beyond. "Through my mindfulness practice came self-love and self-awareness. I began to take care of my body as I learned it was a vessel to create and do good in this world."
