Teacher | Teacher Trainer | Mentor | Entrepreneur

Yoga Teacher, Educator, Teacher Trainer, Mentor, and forever Student. 

Kristin has been a teacher of yoga-asana since 2001 and has accumulated well over 5000-hrs of Teacher Training experience since 2006.

 ⋒

Kristin is masterful at holding a steady, and consistent energy. Her frequency is both grounding and uplifting simultaneously. Grounding in the sense that it reminds you to be in the body. Uplifting in the sense that her authenticity is refreshing, taking you to a real and honest place within yourself. 

Her classes are engaging, intuitive, educational, and transformative.

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