II started doing yoga 35 years ago when I was student teaching at an elementary school. You know what that environment is like, I was frazzled! I connected to the practice right away. It became a way to slow down, stretch and breathe that helped me to understand the relationship between body, mind and breath. I’ve been managing my stress level with yoga ever since. When I don’t practice, I feel different. Yoga has improved the quality of my life, plain and simple.

I always thought about teaching yoga, but relationships, career and life itself seemed to get in the way, until a few years ago. After the loss of both my parents, the end of a 31 year relationship and the passing of my favorite dog on earth, I decided to  make some major changes. Instead of letting life “get in the way”,  I decided to create the life I want to live.

I did my 200 hour yoga teacher training at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. It was amazing. The style is Hatha based, which is essentially a breathing and movement practice using static postures and some flow. Like most teachers, I incorporate other styles into my classes. I am attentive to student needs, so modifications are encouraged and practiced.

Hi everyone my name is Kristyn!

I wanted to become a dance fitness instructor the moment I was introduced to Zumba in 2014.

I hold a BS in Adult Education from Bellevue University with a minor in Musical Theater and work full-time at PJM Interconnection as a Lead Compliance Analyst.

I was a certified Zumba instructor for 7 years and I have choreographed and performed in multiple adult tap dance productions.  After taking a couple of years off, my love of teaching dance and fitness has brought me back!

My classes are fun, effective, and easily customizable for ANY fitness, age, or experience 

I love to dance and love sharing that passion with people.  Zumba is the only exercise program I have ever stuck with and encourage people to try at least once.  The music I use is a mix of pop & traditional, & you are welcome to make song requests.  I run a non-judgmental class - remember, there are no wrong moves!
