About Kristin

Kristin began her yoga journey in northern Manitoba more than 17 years ago. Yoga became a way for her to become more present and find a sense of peace and manage her anxiety.

Kristin completed her 200-hour teacher training at Semperviva Yoga College in 2014. Since then, she has furthered her education with Yin yoga training led by Bernie Clark, Yoga for Pain Relief with Leslee Watt, and additional training in Restorative yoga. Kristin also loves music and developed an ear for it after playing flute for 6 years. This led to a fascination with singing bowls and the discovery of the intense relaxation from the frequencies. She offers this unique healing experience with so much heart and joy. Kristin is truly remarkable and allows such a safe and healing space for people to show up and just be. She allows individuals to move away from perfection and find their flow and healing within. Kristin currently lives and hosts her studio in the beautiful community of Barnhartvale, BC. Alongside her wonderful husband, Chris, and their two amazing children, Van and Annie, Kristin is often found indulging in her passions for baking delicious treats, gardening, or being in nature.
