Kristin began practicing yoga to complement her work and training as a professional ballet dancer. In yoga she discovered a means of movement that was non-judgmental and open to all; asana was not a method of “getting into shape,” but rather the consistent and earnest practice of embodying our physical, energetic, mental and spiritual selves.
Kristin received her teaching certification through YogaWorks in 2007 with Chrissy Carter, whose training focused on the alignment principles of B.K.S. Iyengar and the flow inspired by Ashtanga. Kristin’s education continued under Paul Grilley and Sarah Powers, with whom she discovered the restorative and meditative qualities of Yin Yoga.
Regardless of the style she is teaching, Kristin offers breath-centered classes through which students can deepen their awareness of self and promote the well-being of their lives and relationships.
She continues to dance professionally, choreograph, and teach ballet, and is currently pursuing her MFA in Dance at the University of Iowa.
