Teacher | Trainer | Mentor | Entrepreneur

---

With passion and precision and a dose of mama-bear love, Kristin teaches embodied-alignment based Hatha-Vinyasa Yoga.

In her yoga classes, you can expect to go inward, to connect to your breath, and to 'why' you showed up.

You will be encouraged to move slowly and deliberately, building strength and

heat/tapas, your sacred fire on the mat, to nuture your capacity to BE with yourSelf, 

and thus discover, accept, love, and express yourSelf.

  ૱ 
Kristin's holds to a daily practice looks something like breathwork, meditation, self-study, journaling, and yoga or strength training.  

Kristin is passionate about sharing these ancient, time-tested practices to those who are curious about personal growth.
