We LOVE our community at Revolution, and today we are highlighting KRISTEN LABAGH!
*Where are you from originally and what brought you to the valley? I'm originally from Cleveland, Ohio. A Midwesterner at heart, I still seek down-to-earth vibes, a neighborly community, and a great chat with strangers. My husband and I moved to the valley in 2017 when he was recruited for a job. At first, the transition was very hard for me, but now I am so grateful to call Avon my home!
*Is there a goal you're working toward these days? I'm in the middle of a career shift, and it feels scary and empowering at the same time. This professional goal aligns with a personal goal of nurturing myself and my energy. Otherwise, my 2026 BINGO board includes skinning more, reading 30+ books, continuing monthly moon meditations, completing more crafts, and trying three new activities.
*What's a fun or unusual fact about you? I am a twin. My twin sister and I have different birthdays in different seasons! She lives in Vancouver, and I love our daily FaceTime chats with my 2-year-old niece.
*Do you have a favorite yoga pose? I love cat cow. I love how it grounds me and connects me to my breath. I love feeling into my body and the gentle movement variations you can add.
*What lights you up? So much! I feel like I do a good job finding the "glimmers" even in what feels boring or mundane. I love exploring the outdoors, dancing to live music, cuddling with my puppies, and facilitating sound baths.
*Favorite valley hangout (besides Revolution, of course!)? I spend a lot of time at Eagle River Park socializing, river surfing, hosting sound baths, sunbathing, or cold plunging. I also love to grab a treat from Inner Light, then pop next door to Flower Hound to browse all the incredible plants and homewares. My husband and I also frequent Thai Kitchen more often than I care to admit.
*Optional Free flow -- is there anything else you'd like the Revolution community to know about you? I'm so excited to be a part of the Revolution community. I look forward to getting to know the community members and spending more time on my mat.
