But let’s go back a little to the beginning of it all. In November of last year, Kayla talked candidly about the difficult time she was going through with her family. She disclosed that her career choice resulted in some harsh criticism and, eventually, alienation. The worst part? The entire scenario started when a “rogue relative” made the startling and painful decision to post her personal information on the family group chat.

Kayla’s fortitude is evident in spite of this invasion of her privacy and confidence. She has overcome the criticism by focusing her energy on her love of fitness and content creation rather than allowing it to bring her down.

Her journey is a reminder that sometimes, being a little bit racy and a whole lot brave can lead to some pretty incredible places. And hey, why not show the world a yoga stance you can perform that feels and looks good? That’s exactly what Kayla Jade East is doing.
