Kayla Castellon
She/herClasses: House Flow
Background: I’m a dancer, choreographer, and artist, and teaching movement grew naturally out of my creative practice. Over time, that work opened up a deeper interest in the body, healing, and nervous system regulation. I’ve explored yoga, Pilates, and somatic work along the way, and I’m particularly drawn to Katonah because of its imaginative, symbolic, and playful approach to movement.
Hometown: Parkland, Florida
Zodiac: Pisces
Teaching Style: Playful, curious, and grounded. I like to offer clear guidance while leaving room for exploration, creativity, and each person’s own experience of movement.

Special Talents: I offer Matrix of Destiny readings - a self-discovery system that maps your strengths, purpose, and life themes.
