Meet Kasey
Kasey Gaylord-Opalewski, RYT-200
Founder | Yoga Instructor | Mindfulness Facilitator
Kasey’s yoga journey began over a decade ago as a personal practice of grounding, self-discovery, and connection to nature and spirit. She completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Embodied Health in Bradenton, Florida, in May 2025. Today, she is the founder of Samskara Yoga, offering practices that honor the individual while nurturing mind, body, and soul.
Whether guiding an uplifting vinyasa flow or a deeply restorative session, Kasey’s classes invite students to tune into their breath, bodies, and inner wisdom. Her classes are known for creative themes, thoughtfully guided meditations, and the subtle support of aromatherapy. Kasey crafts sensory-rich experiences that help students drop deeper into the present moment. Her teaching is rooted in accessibility, authenticity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey.
In addition to studio offerings, Kasey provides private yoga and mindfulness sessions, available on demand at your home, vacation rental, the beach, special events venues, or wherever you need a moment of mindful connection. Whether you're seeking personal guidance, planning a group retreat, or simply craving a peaceful pause, her offerings are tailored to meet you where you are—literally and energetically.
Beyond the mat, Kasey draws from a background in nonprofit leadership, environmental education, youth empowerment, and community wellness. Her passion for holistic well-being shines through in all she does—offering a grounded, heart-led approach to yoga, mindfulness, and meaningful connection.
Locally, you can find Kasey teaching yoga at Embodied Health, Salty Buddha, and Mote SEA.
