Krista is drawn to what is changeless in a world full of impermanence, and yoga has been the constant method of inquiry along the way. For more than 20 years she has practiced meditation, breathing techniques and yoga. Her classes contain both introspection and proprioception, inviting practitioners to study their patterns, their selves, and attune to their intuitive knowing, while also developing a keen understanding of how the body moves through space.

​

After multiple trainings in hatha, ashtanga, restorative, yin and philosophy, Krista’s interest in holistic well-being inspired her to complete a 3000 hour Advanced Clinical Massage Therapy Program, enabling her to approach the integration of yoga through movement and breath with deeper integrity and functional knowledge.

 

She has been a lead teacher trainer of yogis since 2014, is an E-RYT 500, YACEP and RMT. She currently shares her time between massage therapy, career coaching for yoga teachers & studio owners, teacher training, and guiding private and group yoga classes at Yogarise, her home-based yoga studio. She is a mother of two, a wife, and is devoted to the study of yoga in all aspects of her life.

​

​Krista always envisioned a wellness community that incorporated yoga, meditation and mindfulness. Yogarise organically grew from conversations and connections with other teachers and students with the intention to provide a warm, inviting and grounding space welcoming all who come to practice. Yoga continues to amaze Krista with its invitation to know oneself and connect to unveiled reality through intentional practice and the constant subtle turning inwards to where the limbs of yoga extend.

​

Krista is grateful to every teacher on her path who has mentored her and shared their wisdom and knowledge. She in turn offers her experience of yoga and the yogic path with a grateful heart.
