About Kristen

Yoga Instructor, Newburgh Yoga Shala

Student to Teacher Journey

Kristen was initially drawn to yoga for the physical benefits, but has come to love how it helps calm and control the mind as well. At first, she saw yoga as a complement to her regular fitness routine, but has since grown to realize its ability to destress and clear her mind. She completed her 200-hr. yoga teacher training at Newburgh Yoga Shala, where she began to truly deepen her practice.

Kristen hopes to aid others in exploring their own bodies through their practice

Teaching Style & Influences

Kristen hopes to aid others in finding a moment of stillness from their day to day life, a moment where they can focus on their own needs. She teaches traditional Vinyasa with a strong background in body alignment.
