Welcome back to Dropped In!


In this episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming Kyla Gagnon, a somatics and embodiment expert and breathwork facilitator, into our Dropped In community. 

Kyla shared her journey of self-discovery and growth, highlighting how breathwork became her gateway to transformation.

Kyla opened up about her background in fitness and personal training, revealing how a pivotal moment in her life led her to shift her focus towards nursing, only to realize that her true calling lay in somatics and breathwork. 

She shared the profound experience of reclaiming her voice during a breathwork session, which sparked a deep transformation in her life.

The conversation delved into the concept of expansion versus contraction, with Kyla explaining how tuning into the body's subtle cues can guide decision-making and personal growth. She emphasized the importance of cultivating a strong nervous system, especially for entrepreneurs navigating the challenges of business growth.

Kyla also discussed her membership program, "The Essentials," which offers a holistic approach to well-being through movement, breathwork, mindfulness, and community support. She shared insights on the power of creating a supportive community and the transformative impact of somatic practices.
