Ayla is an Oxygen Advantage Functional Breathing Instructor. She is based in Los Angeles and provides breathing instruction in person in the Los Angeles area and virtually in other areas. She has trained in many different athletic pursuits, primarily soccer, cycling and martial arts. As she cultivated her own breathing practice she became more aware of it’s powerful impact on physical movement and, perhaps equally profoundly, on emotional well being. After many years of chronic stress and over-training, breathing offered a simple, tangible tool to calm the nervous system and bring about a sense of peace and renewed energy. She is eager to share these tools with others. Professionally she has taught in traditional and experiential education for 15 years and skillfully works with people of all ages and backgrounds to meet their individual goals.
