About Kristen

I have been teaching yoga for a year and I recently became a certified personal trainer. I have worked as a raw vegan chef/ vegan chef, studied with a Shaman, and volunteered at a herbal farm. A journey that continues to explore the multitude of healthy options that are available.

When I am not teaching, you can find me researching recipes and workouts, at the park hiking or kayaking, or enjoying a glass of wine with some dark chocolate.

Yoga is a beautiful way to find balance in our life. A balance between strength and flexibility, body and mind, work and play.

It would seem when we are down that we forget all the tools we have to live a happy and healthy life. All it takes is the perfect recipe, the great yoga session, the basic breathwork. One moment of release can bring us back to the tools we already know. I love sharing the tools I have acquired through trial and error in hope that it helps others from doing as much work to get to a state of bliss mind and body.

When I was in high school I was fascinated with yoga and meditation. Though I didn't feel it was accessible to me. Once I was in college, I took a Hatha Yoga class as an elective. I contracted strep throat which instigated my first outbreak of psoriasis, an autoimmune condition that affects the skin. I used the yoga class as a way to cope with my illness. It became a returning tool in my life. Through the years, it leads me to discover acupuncture, massage, meditation, green smoothies, and this list goes on. In 2015, I became friends with the owner of The Center for Longevity, a lovely aerial yoga studio. She was creating her first Yoga teacher training. I was looking for a career change. I signed up for the teacher training. I didn't know if it would be my career but I knew I needed to do it. It was a great training that offered me a much-needed experience to develop on a personal level. I traveled shortly after I completed my certification. When I returned, I taught yoga in the park and some private yoga sessions but I was scared. Finally, I confronted my fear. I wanted to share this lovely gift that I didn't feel like I had when I needed it. I have been teaching since February 2017 and loving every moment I get to share with every student.

About the lesson

When working with a new student we discuss their background and have a Q&A about what they are looking for in their yoga sessions. Questions such as What type of yoga do you like? What would you like to focus on? Are you looking to increase flexibility? Are you looking to increase strength? Are you looking to relieve stress?

What type of yoga do you like? What would you like to focus on? Are you looking to increase flexibility? Are you looking to increase strength? Are you looking to relieve stress?

We decided on a plan of action for our first meeting. Time, place, and what the student would like to work on.

I come with an outline but sometimes the lesson naturally goes a different direction. We discover what works and how to continue. The practice is the students I am simply a guide.

I have worked a variety of students. In the gym, we focus on strengthening. In the studio, it depends if it is vinyasa, gentle yoga, or restorative yoga.

I had a young student, who had been in a bad car accident. He suffered from back pain. We would take it week to week, focusing on strengthening for stability and stretching for mobility.

Cancer patients working to find peace of mind. We focused on breathwork, meditation, and light movement.

An older gentleman and I worked on his balance through slight movement.

I continue to learn from my students.

Last month I co-taught a partner yoga class for a bachelorette party. It was so much fun. The women worked in pairs. Together we stretched each other out and lifted each other into poses. It is a beautiful experience to watch women interacting through partner yoga. Our bodies are different and we are hard on ourselves and on each other. In partner yoga, we explore our own bodies and how they work with other bodies in a fun and new way. Look up partner yoga or acro yoga. It is too much fun not to try at least once.
