Krista fell in love with the practice of yoga in 1999 when she took her first Ashtanga class. Since that day she has devoted her time and energy into exploring the numerous dimensions, both as a teacher and student.  Krista teaches retreats around the world and regular classes at YogaWorks in Santa Monica & Yoga Salt in Culver City, CA. Expect a vigorous Vinyasa flow class that challenges the minds focus and attention; Krista believes that our obstacles…mind or body- are our greatest blessings.  SO excited to welcome her to town on Super Bowl Sunday for SUPERFLOW at Boston’s Hotel Intercontinental.

wind up…  how do you wind up, prepare for the week ahead?

I spend time in my kitchen cooking, it is a form of meditation which helps me tune into my needs through gut connection.

 

and, when you need to exhale…  what’s your other direction?

To release pressure or life’s stress I practice asanas, I am to this day just as excited and interested in the postures as I was as a beginner.
