Testimonials

"I've had the pleasure of taking in person yoga flows with Kiawna throughout her career as a yoga teacher. Now with the pandemic I've also had the immense pleasure of experiencing another level of her practice with her online classes. 

I've been doing yoga for years. But Kiawna is truly a special kind of teacher. Her passion for the practice is evident in her attention to detail, her curation of the poses in the flow and the ambiance she creates with music, candles, conversation and other tools. this creates a truly entrancing and powerful experience. Her classes are a perfect combination of sweat, challenge and restoration.

 Most important of all Kiawna also connects the yoga practice to spirituality, self confidence and connection. 

I'm so appreciative of Kiawna not just because of these reasons but also because having a sense of community is so important during these hard times (COVID 19). Kiawna did not hesitate to move her classes online and make that sense of community possible again for both her old and new students who crave that sense of love and connection with others.  Thank you so much, Kiawna."

"Kiawna Brewster taught at Inner Fire Yoga - Downtown for approximately 4 months until she moved away from Madison. She taught Candlelight Flow and Power Flow classes. She conducts herself with professionalism at all times, and treats all of her students and fellow staff with kindness and compassion. As soon as she started we received immediate positive feedback from students. Kiawna is reliable, trustworthy, and hardworking. She was immediately ready to take on additional tasks above and beyond what we require of our teachers, including teaching at events, private group classes, and offering blog posts for our website. Having taken her classes personally, I can also speak to her skill in the classroom. Her tone of voice is perfect for the yoga room - she has a way of calming the mind in a profound way. Her sequencing is smart and thoughtful, and she gives stellar hands-on assists. Overall, any studio or yoga program would be lucky to have Kiawna as a teacher!"

"This year was the first year that I really took the practice of yoga seriously and I can confidently say that Kiawna played a role in facilitating this. I’ve always been someone who enjoyed working out; when my body is moving and active I feel at my best. And for me running was something I always enjoyed very much and dedicated a lot of time to; however, this year, due to health reasons I had to take a break from running. It was during this time that I took up yoga to allow my body to heal. I began to really enjoy yoga and practiced everyday. I loved the physical aspects of yoga and the flexibility and strength it gave my body. But it wasn’t until I met Kiawna that I began to appreciate both the mind and body connection in yoga. Kiawna truly has a way with words that resonates with those she teaches. She is mindful, thought provoking, relatable, and knowledgeable. Her classes create an environment for both the mind and body to grow. Kiawna truly understands what it means to guide both the mental and physical simultaneously. After my first few classes with Kiawna I knew that she was my favorite teacher because I would leave her classes not only physically feeling accomplished, but I left with a balanced and positive headspace as well. Because of the techniques and insights I gained from Kiawna’s classes, yoga has become a part of my daily routine. I now truly appreciate the synchronicity between both the physical and the spirtual. Kiawna Brewster is a wonderful yoga teacher who inspires and challenges her students. Although we will miss her greatly, I am confident that she will thrive wherever she ends up."

"Kiawna's warm spirit had a special way of making each student in her class feel welcome and that they belonged, no matter what the skill level be. It was so obvious that she cares about her class and everyone in it as she always included special additions such as burning incense, offering essential oil massages, and other hands on assists. Each week I looked forward to her class as I knew I would leave feeling better than I did when I arrived. It was clear that she knew how to create a class tailored to exactly what the group needed that night."

"Kiawna's yoga teaching and classes are truly like nothing I've ever experienced before. As a dedicated yogi, I've been practicing for almost 7 years now. One thing I always struggle with is finding ways to ground myself and focus on my breath rather than trying to rush through a flow to get in a better "workout." Kiawna's classes provided both a challenge yet a calming and grounding presence that I had never experienced before. Throughout class, I felt very connected to her as well as my own body. She challenged the class to listen and honor our bodies. Yet, at the same time, she helped cultivate confidence in me to take postures further than I ever had before. I left class feeling so proud of myself.. not only for my new found accomplishments but also how I truly listened to my body. Her sequencing is organized and well-thought out, so that class flows in a natural pattern. Overall, I think her energy and calmness sets a tone for the room that is unmatched. She is truly a gift to have as a teacher."

"Kiawna is the first yoga teacher I’ve had with whom I’ve truly developed a personal connection. I remember the first class of hers I took, where I went up to her after class to talk about her experience of becoming a certified teacher and the training process. I will miss her power flow classes at Inner Fire dearly, but I am confident she will continue spreading her love and light teaching yoga in Berlin!"
