ONLINE Yin Yoga

Leaving her love of the ocean and sunshine in Encinitas, CA, for the Love of her Life and his son, Kristen arrived in Basel, CH in January 2012. Since then, she has opened The Looking Glass Yoga Studio, and continues to teach full time. Her classes reveal a combination of her 13+ years teaching Jivamukti Yoga, as well as her interests in Iyengar Yoga, Katonah Yoga, Functional Movement, and Thai Massage. She also offers both a 250 Hr Teacher Training, “Fertile Ground” as well as a 250 Hr mentorship program for teachers, “Blossom.” With almost two decades of Yoga Practice and Study, her MA in Spiritual Psychology, and a Deep Love for the Human Experience, Kristen's classes serve to create a safe and uplifting space, where you can be yourself and dive into the paths of yoga at your own pace. Kristen weaves lessons from our everyday life, Sanskrit, beautiful chanting, and intelligent sequencing into each class with the addition of hands on assists and a lot of joy. Since April 2007, Kristen has predominantly studied the Jivamukti Yoga Method, with both the 300 hr TT under the co-founders David Life and Sharon Gannon, and the 500- hr advanced apprenticeship in NYC, under her mentor Sandhi Gayatri Ferreira. As Kristen finds being a Student the best thing ever, in addition to her 800 Hr Advanced Certification (jivamukti) she also takes weekly Iyengar classes, and recently completed Simon Parks Liquid Flow Yoga Teacher Training in 2017, and 30 hrs Katonah Yoga training with Abbie Galvin, January 2019, amongst others. Some of her interests in the practices which influence her teachings include the restorative practice of Yin yoga, playful nature of Acroyoga, body readings and touch from Thai Massage, and the pure joy of Bhakti Kirtan.
