MOVEMENT & THE INTERNAL ARTS Kristen's movement patterns are rooted in physical therapy, structure, and form, with a heavy emphasis on internal awareness. Our ability to breathe, hold intention, and move with grace is the foundation of mind body integration.

You can find her teaching throughout the valley at our local yoga studios. CREDENTIALS
