YTT graduate spotlight: From a Prana retreat in Tulum to graduating her YTT this past spring, read about Kristen’s journey below! Swipe to see photos from 10 years ago. ✨ .girl1126
“18 years ago, I walked into Prana Yoga Center for my first ever yoga class—and the teacher was Gerhard. My life was forever changed from that one class. My mat became my safe space—always there for me. To hold me, support me, energize me, and always bring me back to myself. An hour after my mom died, I walked into a yoga class. My mat was there for me. After breakups, my mat was there to catch my tears. On good days, it’s there too—supporting my body and making me stronger with each pose. Prana—and Gerhard’s classes in particular—have always held a special place in my heart.
Ten years ago, I joined my Prana family on a beautiful retreat in Tulum. Deepening my practice every day (two classes a day!) for a week was incredibly special. I was always hesitant about doing a YTT, but I knew that if I ever did it, it would have to be at Prana with Gerhard. And… I did it! This training was so much more than I ever imagined—truly one of the best experiences of my life. I’m immensely grateful to Gerhard, Alex, and my entire Prana family for everything. Namaste. 🧘♀️”
