Introduction: I specialize in a style of yoga that provides a gentle and reliable release of the deep tensions in your spine. This reliable release then allows the natural healing state of your body to flourish. Easy and supported poses, combined with my expert ability to 'see' into the cause of your body's disharmony, and my customized guidance, and you will find yourself looking and feeling younger in no time at all. Find, recover and live into your natural strength, mobility, stamina and joy! I love how much change and joy my clients get from the yoga and their personal practice. Really! After 12 years of deep yogic studies, I seek and expect excellence in any individual who helps to facilitate my healing. Kris Montigny possesses the rare ability to see the complex interplay of my deepest habitual mind/body tensions in a way that is genius. What sets her apart from the many other brilliant healers I have worked with, is her generosity in sharing her deep insight she uncovers what is going on in my body, in a way that always changes me at such a deep level. With just one session, Kris consistently propels me to an entirely new place of healing, one which would have taken me years to get to otherwise. Steve T, CSYT, RYT500 "Back pain sent me to my first class with Kris Montigny. Besides making my back feel better, her classes taught me to physically and mentally lose the stress of the week. While other yoga teachers have been good, none have had the lasting impact that Kris did. Her personalized and intuitive teaching have given me life permanent skills. Taking yoga classes with Kris Montigny is like having your body remade and your mind reborn." Fran C, RI "I seek out Kris insightful instruction in her specialized workshops and weekend training opportunities, for it is through these intensive programs that I am learning the art of integrationthe ability to bring these changes into each and every day of my life so that my true potential may be manifested. I have come to consider my work with Kris to be an adventure of a lifetime." Judy FH, CT

I took 7 courses to become a certified Svaroopa(R) Yoga Teacher at the 500 hour level, and Kris was a Teacher Trainer at 5 of them. Yoga has not been easy for me, between overexercising and a few car accidents, I developed arthritis early. Kris used to be a dancer, and came to yoga for self-healing. she has mastered both yoga and a profound understanding of the body. I only saw her intermittently, perhaps once a year or so during my training. She gave me a lot of coaching--some of which took me a few years to understand. Whether one wants to learn yoga, or needs self-healing, or both, I would highly recommend her as a teacher, but I would also suggest practicing with her more frequently than once a year!.

Kris has deep understanding of the body and the mind. Through her own commitment to practice, her skill in teaching, and her broad experience in yoga and other modalities, her work is transformative .

Kris is an incredibly knowledgable and compassionate yoga teacher. Her students gain so much from her classes. She is bright, caring, and brings intelligence, lightness and humor to her classes.

I have been working with Kris for 5 years and it is through her compassion guidance that each session brings me to greater awareness of proper body bio-mechanics ; while I continually experience a reduction in the chronic pain that has plagued my body from my many years of highly competitive athletic endeavors.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Absolutely! I love learning as much as I love teaching. Even if it weren't required, you will always find me, at least 1x/year, in a training in yoga or related healing field.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was about 38 years old when I 1st heard the words, "Yoga Therapist," and upon hearing those sounds, my whole body came alive. I had been raised as a dancer, but hadn't danced seriously in a couple of decades, so in my 20's yoga seemed like a reasonable substitute. I was in and out of it for a couple of decades, and in that time, I learned to teach a few styles of yoga, most of them in the athletic range. When I came to the style I now teach, I understood it immediately, and did everything I could to do all the training ASAP! It was there, in my 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training, I heard the words, "Yoga Therapist," and knew that was the next level for me. But then in Advanced Teacher Training & Yoga Therapy Training, this school asked if anyone was interested in becoming a Teacher Trainer. YUP!!!! So there I was, not even 2 years into a brand new (and very different) style of yoga, and I was interning as a Teacher Trainer! It wasn't long before I quit my 'regular' job and dedicated my time, skill and talent to teach others who wanted to share this wonderful gift with the world. Now, nearly 15 years later, I can honestly say, I've never been happier!
What types of customers have you worked with?
I do run a few weekly classes, but the meat of my work, my absolute joy, is as a Yoga Therapist. I often work with people who have hit a dead end in their recovery from illness or injury. They have worked with others in both the standard medical arena, as well as the alternative fields. And though they do find some relief, there are occasions where the recovery has stalled and can't get going again. I work with people to stop the progression of, or even reverse: scoliosis, migraines, sciatica, arthritis, physical damage from car accidents, anxiety and depression, weight loss, and even what we call "normal aging." "I can do things now that I couldn't do before I started yoga with Kris. I haven't aged as much, and I think I'm younger now." Barbara B, CT (She's almost 84 years old!)
