Walsh
Born and raised in New York, Kristie always had a love for the practice of yoga. A born storyteller, Kristie always felt the need to create, but fear kept getting in the way to stay on the path she truly wanted.
It wasn’t until she became a certified Vinyasa yoga instructor at Yoga Vida that she realized how much she needed yoga in her life and how much it transformed her to live the life she always wanted and to readily trust her intuition.
She knew she wanted to deepen her studies further so from there she got her certification in an introduction to Ayurveda and Therapeutics and completed her 100-hour mentorship with Dana Slamp. Being a yoga practitioner has opened up her awareness and heart, and most importantly, helps her to stay in the moment and feel at ease.
Kristie has her 500-hour certification, teaches Vinyasa yoga, and is heavily influenced by Iyengar yoga. She brings a sense of ease and creativity to her teaching style in which students can learn to enjoy their practice. Kristie emphasizes a no one-size-fits-all approach; your mind and body allow you to master your own practice.
