LoveYourBrain resilience and community for TBI with Kyla Pearce

Creating Wellness From Within

Creating Wellness From Within is a podcast devoted to empowering you to live your best life by taking accountability for your own personal wellness … brought to you in part by Integrated Health Systems located in Denver, CO.

Women in particular have a tendency to take care of everyone else around them first, while putting their own self care and wellness on the back burner. This podcast is designed to give you actionable advice and tools to help you power up your own wellness journey, and live the best life possible!

Kyla Pearce, PhD, MPH, E-RYT-200, CBIS, serves as the Senior Director of Programs at the LoveYourBrain Foundation, overseeing the design, implementation, and evaluation of yoga and mindfulness programming for the traumatic brain injury community across the US, Canada, and online.
Kyla blended her expertise as a yoga teacher and researcher to develop the evidence-based, six-week LoveYourBrain Yoga program for people with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers. This program integrates guided meditation, breathing exercises, gentle yoga, and psychoeducation to build skills in resilience and community integration.
Since 2015, she has trained over 2,000 yoga teachers and clinicians to deliver this program through 60 yoga studios and 18 neurorehabilitation facilities across the US and Canada. She recently completed a NIH Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Dartmouth, investigating the scalability and effectiveness of yoga and mindfulness for improving quality of life, resilience, and functional outcomes among people with neurological conditions. She loves yoga, hiking, making ice cream, and spending time with her husband, Adam, and their sons, Bear and Owen.
