Kristen mindfully combines her 34+ year history of teaching 4th grade with the practiced skills of a yogi.

Her intuitive ability to nurture shines through everything she does. She believes mindfulness, breathing practices, and yoga are beneficial for all ages and she is experienced in teaching children, adults and families.

She values growth, mindfulness, and sharing the magic of these with her 4th grade students. She believes using the breath to connect the mind to the body is a powerful tool for students and their learning journey!

In addition to her trauma informed yoga training, Kristen holds a M. Ed. from University of Illinois and completed her undergraduate work at Elmhurst University in Elementary Education.

Kristen is both a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), a Registered Children's Yoga Teacher (RCYT), along with a Reiki Master with Yoga Alliance. Currently, she is joyfully working towards a 500 hour certification with a completion date of June, 2022.
