Kaila Potts-Smith, Viola Faculty
Picture
Experience the evolution of sound and turn your intuitive talent into a superpower with violist, Kai Potts-Smith, founder of VIOL∀ibrational by Kai and YOUnison Yoga & Music. Kai’s on a mission to open up new avenues of expression, connection, and abundance in the music world and inspire audiences to look at music in a new light… one that heals and transforms on a more personal and lasting level.  Her signature modality, The VIOL∀ibrational Method, integrates fitness, food, and frequency into a powerful therapeutic tool that’s helping musicians and change-makers around the world live lives full of purpose, find balance and deep relaxation, and achieve new levels of exhilaration as they embrace and OWN their radically authentic selves.
 
Kai is an international competition winner, Sphinx Competition First Place Laureate and touring artist, and has shared the world stage with performers from Celine Dion to Itzhak Pearlman. She has worked extensively in tv, film, and the recording industries, performed as soloist with orchestras throughout the US, served as Assistant Principal for the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and The Santa Barbara Symphony among other principal positions, and has performed and toured with classical orchestras worldwide.
 
VIOL∀ibrational Method classes, courses, and programs marry musical and vibrational awareness to help practitioners melt into a state of “within-ness”, healing, and release that resonates throughout the entire body. She's been engaged to teach VIOL∀ibrational workshops for musicians at educational institutions like the Idyllwild Arts Academy, youth orchestras in DC and Los Angeles, and multiple performing ensembles throughout the US. These workshops are designed to help heal the whole musician so you can begin to create engaged communities, step into your business savvy, and get on the road to living, breathing, and making art on YOUR terms.
 
Kai is determined to bring the best of all of her worlds together to inspire all to redefine deliciousness, tap into your highest frequency, and embrace a balanced life centered in self-love. Let’s meet on the mat and the worldwide stage to breathe deeper, live deliciously, and OWN the BIZ f 7-Figure Soul Medicine.
