Krista began her yoga practice when she stumbled on a DVD in 2005. She vividly remembers her first in-person class 3-years later and immediately embraced the new-found community. After a running injury in 2014 that nearly resulted in the loss of her left foot, she discovered yoga’s accessibility to all bodies, marrying years of physical therapy with her practice. A dancer all her life, Krista finds movement in yoga both physical and emotional. In 2016 she began working at MI Hot Yoga which increased the regularity of her practice significantly. Krista completed her 200-hour teacher training at Peoples Yoga in March 2023. She enjoys blending self-love with physical stability and strengthening. She loves a dance-like flow to music as well as a meditative, restorative practice. Outside of yoga, Krista is a certified elementary school teacher continually looking for ways to support K-12 students. She dreams of someday retiring and devoting her time to bringing yoga to children. For now, she works for the Michigan Department of Education and enjoys cooking & baking, reading brainless romance novels, traveling, and spending time with her husband, cats, and 2 grown children.
