Yoga That Meets You Where You Are
Hello and a very warm welcome to you.
Now that you’re here, I invite you to pause.
Notice your breath. Sit up nice and tall, feet planted on the earth. Deep inhale in. Slow exhale out. Arrive.
Ah. Much better.
If this was the first time you’ve felt present today, you’ve come to the right place.
My name is Kristen. I am a Vinyasa and Trauma Informed Yoga facilitator in Denver, Colorado. My classes flow from a lens of compassion, incorporating mindfulness, meditation, and breath work into every session. It is my honor to guide individuals into the presence of their bodies and towards liberation of their minds. My goal is to embody the bridge that leads folks back home to their true selves.
While there is no shortage of yoga to choose from these days, the Mind Over Mat difference lives in the details. Every session (whether you're joining a class or bringing me in to lead an event) is personalized to meet you exactly where you are, in person or virtually. As a former collegiate/semi-professional athlete, now full-time yoga teacher, I offer an attainable balance between fitness and philosophy, movement and mindfulness, ease and effort.
I can’t wait to meet you as we journey back into alignment together - mind over mat.
Testimonials
“We loved her so much we plan on having a regular yoga date night once a month at the house. It feels very special and intimate. Kristen has the most wonderful energy — calm, kind, attentive and optimistic — and she is a joy to work with.”
— Kathleen C. & Eric R. (Date Night Yoga Session)
“Kristen was a fantastic yoga instructor. She came to our corporate lunch and led our team through a yoga routine crafted for our office staff to emphasize posture and reducing pains and fatigue from desk work. Kristen was very responsive and professional setting up the classes, and was able to adapt movements so everyone could participate.”
— Patrick P. (Corporate Office Yoga Sessions)
“Kristen was an awesome guide. Very professional, patient, and reassuring which made me feel comfortable especially as a beginner. You can tell she has a lot of experience and it shows. I'm grateful for this experience that gave me more of an understanding about the practice of yoga and the benefits it has to offer.”
— Will D. (Private 1:1 Virtual Session)
