‘Life is a balance of holding on and letting go’

Kind Words

  • “I have been on my yoga journey for about six months now. When I started I had issues with my shoulder and elbow. Prior to each session Kristi would work out alternatives for each pose for me and then go through them with me. I now have full strength back and can do full versions of every pose.”

    Robyn

  • “I have always wanted to do yoga but never thought I was fit enough or the right body type, Kristi has made me feel so comfortable in my own skin. She has been amazing at helping me through the different poses and finding alternatives when needed. I have noticed a huge difference not just physically but mentally on myself too! I highly recommend.”

    Lisa

  • “After wanting to do a yoga class for years, I joined up for a block of classes with Kristi. She provides a welcoming atmosphere, warm classroom and yoga that makes you feel light and loose muscled afterwards.”

    Danielle

  • “Loved the sessions with Kristi, loved the relaxing and supportive atmosphere and loved how I felt after every session and building my strength back up.”

    Megan

  • “Kristi has provided professional, calming and considered teaching. We have appreciated her ability to guide us through the benefits of yoga plus soulful mantra and breathing techniques to assist in relaxation. Our classes have been amazing for my body and mind and I walk away feeling invigorated every time.”

    Teina

  • “Being older (in our 60’s) we were a bit unsure when our daughter suggested that we join Kristi's yoga class. We reluctantly agreed to try a session and found Kristi to be such a natural teacher, encouraging us through our first fumbling efforts and it wasn't long before we started feeling the benefits. She is absolutely fantastic at what she does. We would definitely encourage anyone, no matter what their age, to give it a go.”

    Eric & Noreen

  • “I'm new to yoga and have found Kristi's instructions very clear with variations for different positions to challenge each individual.”
