Introduction: I started my journey into yoga when I was 12 years old. Anxiety over an upcoming math test prompted me to join my mother in her nightly Yoga Zone VHS ritual, and I instantly connected with how the practice made me feel--energized yet calm. Even though I failed the exam miserably, those nights of down dog in the basement took me down a road I've been enthusiastically pursuing since.
I've studied with Sharon Gannon and David life, earning a 300-hour Jivamukti yoga certification in 2010, and delved into the world of vinyasa flow through Seane Corns teacher training intensive in 2012. I continued my education last year in Kathryn Budig and Gina Caputo's 200-hour, highly transformative and fun Aim True teacher training. Currently, I practice Ashtanga yoga, which I've learned from my teachers, the Ashtanga dispatch duo, Jen René and Peg Mulqueen.
I've been teaching yoga for 6 years in settings ranging from private lessons to teacher trainings. My specialty lies in tailoring the practice to suit the individual needs of my students, as well as breaking down advanced, so even beginner yogis can try them.
My favorite part of teaching is watching my students break through limitation and learn that they are more capable than they ever could imagine. It's an honor to help facilitate yoga's amazing ability to show us how much we're worth.

Krista and I met once a week for private 1-1 Ashtanga yoga lessons at my apartment. She was always on time and very flexible when I ever had to reschedule.
As a teacher, Krista is very encouraging. I've taken small group and large group classes where I didn't feel like the instructor created a judgement-free teaching environment. Krista did.
With just a 1-1 and the fact that Krista does really advanced yoga, I was nervous that I would feel embarrassed about my practice. That wasn't the case at all. Even when I fell out of poses (which happened a lot) or didn't have the strength to do my final vinyasas, Krista was always incredibly supportive and kind.
Krista always pushed me to give my practice my all, though was patient with me when I struggled or didn't feel well. If I hadn't moved to the other side of the country, I'd still be taking lessons with Krista today!

Krista was an incredible teacher who led two great yoga sessions with big groups and tailored the class to the different levels of experience beautifully. We can't wait to work with her again!
