After retiring from competitive gymnastics, an emptiness began to settle in. Without dedicated time to exercise and train she began to feel complacent with a sedentary life.

Then, at a charity pub night, Krista’s yoga journey began. A 1-Month yoga pass & mat had been donated as an auction item to bid and she eagerly put her name down, a sudden energy to give something new a try, and seize this moment. This 30-day challenge sparked an ongoing passion for yoga and group fitness. It brought daily joy, peace, and time dedicated to herself.

Krista is a certified 200-hour yoga teacher from the Kootenay Yoga School in Joshua Tree. She creates space for all Yogis to deepen their practice through traditional salutations and thoughtful sequencing, introducing breathwork and meditation to prepare the body, mind, and spirit for Savasana.

With 10 years of experience in gymnastics coaching, and level 3 competitive certification, Krista combines knowledge of total body strengthening with energy for every person to feel amazing in their body and have a safe, fun, and rewarding workout.

When she’s not coaching, teaching or taking classes, Krista enjoys playing soccer, painting, and reading! Her personal book recommendation is Bringing Yoga to Life by Donna Farhi.
