Krista grew up with the practice, starting her journey into yoga at 12 years old. Anxiety over an upcoming math test prompted her to join her mother's nightly Yoga Zone VHS ritual, and she instantly connected with the practice. Even though she failed the exam miserably, those nights of down dog in the basement took her down a road she would enthusiastically pursue. She's studied with Sharon Gannon and David life, earning a 300-hr Jivamukti Yoga certification in 2010, and delved into the world of vinyasa flow through Sean Corn’s teacher training intensive in 2012. She'll continue her education this November with Kathryn Budig and Gina Caputo's 200-hr training. Currently she practices ashtanga yoga with Jen René and Peg Mulqueen, studying the tradition and human nature every morning in the mysore room. In addition to her yoga education she attended the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), graduating with a graphic design degree in 2011. Design, much like yoga, is a process in taking elements that appear separate and organizing them into a unified piece to relay a message or evoke a feeling. Her work in art has encouraged her to become a problem solver, a quality which she brings into the poses she practices and teaches. She is beyond honored for the opportunity to share my love for yoga in Washington, DC and surrounding areas. The pursuit of fun, fearlessness, and a deep understanding of the self fuels her practice which she aims to playfully present to her students. It is her highest hope that through her teaching practitioners are reminded of the fun, child-like aspect of their spirit and come to realize their self-worth.
