The many faces Kristy has seen come through our doors are always greeted with her radiant smile and uplifting attitude. We absolutely adore her!
TEACHER SPOTLIGHT KRISTY:
My yoga journey began 26 years ago with some prenatal yoga. In 2014, I took my practice to new heights by earning my teaching certification, and in 2016, I opened my own studio in my two-car garage, aptly naming it Yoga Garage. Within two weeks, I had a steady flow of students and quickly outgrew the space. Then, as destiny would have it, Angela opened Concrete Yoga. We became fast friends, and I closed the garage doors to join CY!
What began as a way to alleviate work stress and correct my posture evolved into an exercise I genuinely love. I thrive on the energy of the room, often losing myself in the joy of witnessing my students grow in confidence, strength, and progress. The music I play, the rhythmic cadence of our synchronized breath, and even the occasional laugh or grunt inspire me. I can feel the energy of the space and its occupants, guiding me to either tone down the class or amp it up.
My classes begin and end with intention; the journey in between changes daily. Savasanas hold a special place in my heart. They offer a moment to escape and delve deeper into yoga. I often share a feeling or a vivid image from my mind, taking my class along on the journey. Some awaken in tears, while others feel invigorated. Yoga is not just for those facing challenges; it's a practice for anyone seeking a profound connection with themselves. Itās about finding forgiveness and acceptance within one's own body, understanding aches and pains, and moving forward with clear intention.
When you step into Concrete Yoga, youāre not merely attending a fitness class. Youāre joining a community of like-minded souls who often become friends, sharing experiences before and after class. Our āregulars,ā as I affectionately call them, understand the deeper meaning of āDonāt just be here, BE HERE!ā
