Yoga with Kirsten

I am a certified yoga instructor (500 RYT) specializing in functional yoga for all...novices to intermediate. Private, group or team yoga sessions available.

I provide affordable yoga instruction to literally help you move through life. Yoga is a valuable tool to help enhance athletic performance and to just make you a better person. Whether you are a weekend warrior, a professional athlete, yoga is a critical component to a well-rounded training plan. You don't consider yourself an athlete? It doesn't matter, yoga can help you, too! Allow Kirsten to help you reach your peak through yoga! She has 28 years of group fitness teaching experience and has been teaching yoga for 13 years. She is certified to teach yoga and Pilates (and a variety of other classes!) and she recently completed a 5-day intensive course on teaching yoga to athletes.

My Story

There are 2 ways to approach yoga...either living to do yoga or doing yoga to live. I practice yoga to live my best life. Yoga is so valuable in all facets of life. It can help with stress relief, relieve chronic pain, make you stronger, gain a sense of inner calm...and the list goes on and on. I have 31 years of group fitness teaching experience and have been teaching yoga for 16 years. I have three yoga certifications, including Yoga for Athletes, and am a registered yoga teacher (200 RYT) through Yoga Alliance. I am certified to teach Pilates and currently teach a variety of classes including cycle and boot camp. My personal exercise regimen includes running, cycling, swimming, weight lifting, and, of course, yoga!
