Hi! It's so great to meet you.

Kira started Arden Yoga & Wellness in the summer of 2012 with one intention: to create a space where people could learn to connect their minds and bodies on their mats. Since then she has owned and grown that space to be the only yoga therapy driven studio in Middle Tennessee.

Kira’s genuine passion for people and movement is steeped into every aspect of her studio. This natural authenticity has allowed Arden Yoga & Wellness thrive and flourish in its hometown of Murfreesboro. 

Kira’s goal is to educate and inspire clients on what it means to truly live out your yoga in every day life through the means of movement, wellness, and nourishment. She is so grateful to do what she loves every single day and connect with people in all stages of their journey.

Kira’s depth of knowledge and unique credentials (see below) allow her to deeply connect and customize her approach for both yoga and wellness — down to each posture and breath. This tailored approach makes clients quickly feel like family

When Kira isn't teaching yoga you can find her wrangling chickens or riding horses on the Whitaker family farm where she lives with her husband, Boone and their two children, Ory and Willow .
