I’m Kyla, a movement coach who helps people find their way back into their bodies through gentle somatics, grounded movement, and nervous-system aware guidance.
So much of my work sits inside rhythm. Music has always been the quickest way for me to drop into myself, and I’ve found that dance can be this really beautiful direct line to our deepest joy. It’s like the body hears the truth before the mind catches up.
What I care about is slowing down, listening inward, and rebuilding a relationship with your body that actually feels good to live in. One that makes space for regulation and clarity, and also for those little sparks of joy that rise up when something in you finally exhales.
Through breath, intuitive movement, simple embodied tools, and a whole lot of kindness, I help people create more steadiness, ease, and real aliveness in their everyday lives.
Dance is one of my favorite pathways for that. It opens the heart in ways words can’t.
I bring over a decade of experience in movement, cultural immersion, and embodied teaching, along with certification in breath and movement for trauma healing. My approach is warm, practical, and rooted in integrity, honoring the science of the nervous system while trusting the wisdom the body already carries.
And always inviting in the rhythm and music that help us remember who we are.

Kyla Hallums
Kyla Hallums is a traveling dance teacher, empowerment guide, and somatic practitioner based in Nashville, TN. With a deep love for Latin dance rhythms like Salsa and Bachata, Kyla has spent years inspiring others to connect to themselves and their bodies through movement. Her approach is grounded in the belief that dance is not just about learning steps—it's about breaking through self-imposed barriers, embracing self-love, and empowering individuals to fully express themselves.
In addition to her dance classes, Kyla offers powerful empowerment sessions that focus on breathwork and guided visualizations. These separate sessions are designed to help clients release limiting beliefs, overcome fears, and cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace and confidence.
Kyla’s work extends beyond the dance floor; she uses movement and mindfulness as tools for personal transformation. Her life-changing retreats in the Caribbean offer a unique opportunity for individuals to experience deep healing, but it’s her everyday teaching and personal approach that has left a lasting impact on so many.
Whether you’re a dancer looking to deepen your practice or someone seeking more confidence and clarity in your everyday life, Kyla’s mission is to help you connect more deeply with yourself, embrace your true power, move with freedom, and live with greater joy.
