Meet Kira Whitaker
Kira founded Arden Yoga & Wellness over a decade ago to create the kind of therapeutic space she once searched for herself — one rooted in deep body awareness and comprehensive wellness support. As an Internationally Certified Yoga Therapist, National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and former nurse with specialized training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and women’s health, she brings a rare depth of clinical insight and integrative expertise to her work.
Yet what clients value most extends beyond her credentials. She listens with intention, sees the whole person, and creates an environment where you are supported — not fixed.

Read what clients are sharing about their experience.
"When I first met Kira several years ago, I was an injured, non-flexible runner who was referred to yoga as a good cross-training option. I was nervous to try yoga, and after a few sessions with Kira, I soon fell in love with it! Kira has an incredible understanding of the human body with her background in nursing, and that, partnered with her expertise and years of experience teaching and studying yoga, makes her an amazing instructor. I never feel intimidated in the sessions, and my body feels stronger and more flexible as a result of her teaching. Kira's personality is so warm and calming, and I know that each private session she designs is for what's going on in my body. I love starting my week with the private session! I encourage everyone to try a yoga session with Kira."
"Kira is extremely knowledgeable and full of helpful insight."
"I'm a fickle exerciser. I've done everything from Cindy Crawford's Shape Your Body DVD in the 80's to the elliptical at the gym in the 90's. I stuck an exercise bike in my bedroom in the 2000's & downloaded yoga apps on my iPhone in the 2010's... you get the idea. But now with middle age looming on the horizon (okay, who am I kidding, it's already here), I knew I needed help.
A friend recommended Kira for private yoga coaching, so I gave her a call. Her very chill, positive approach to wellness is just what I needed to learn something new and stick with it. Yoga is now a beloved part of my morning routine. It keeps me moving while also making me much more flexible and strong. (My doctor said I'm healthier now at 50 than I was at 40!) I highly recommend hiring Kira to help you reach your health goals."
"Kira has expert knowledge and incredible formal training in health and wellness. Her ability to distill complex topics into actionable and motivating information will make any habit or life change easier!"
