WELCOME TO Be.Yoga where you can be.you

Be.ing present, moment to moment, more than less :) allows us to see things as they are at that time.
Yoga offers us countless tools to wipe clean the window of the heart…
To let go of what is ready to be let go of and to let in what’s ready to flow in.

Be.ing in community with us you will be respected for who you are, wherever you are on your journey. You’ll find we are passionate about the poses, but even more so about the well being of the people we practice them with.

After taking my first yoga class in 1995, I realized yoga would be forever a part of my life. I knew from that day I wanted to share with others the profound effect it had on me. Five years later, I taught my first yoga class. I hope to have the privilege to teach my entire life.

I have been incredibly fortunate to study with my teachers for the last 25 years, each experience with them ads more layers of love into my yoga practices and teachings. There are 3 styles of yoga that I thread through my teachings. Erich Schiffman's book Moving Into Stillness ended up in my luggage somewhat randomly ( but not :) when I was moving to California although I did not know of him or his teachings. 1 year later I landed in his yoga teacher training class although I had never met him and I remembered his book which had been packed away since my move. Clearly it was not a coincidence that his book found me and I followed the energetic breadcrumbs! His philosophies and teachings have been monumental in my approach to life on and off the mat. Erich's teachings of being ”on line” all the time takes you out of habit mind and into "life live now". His Freedom Style approach to yoga empowers the inner teacher who is you, me, each of us. This resonates with me as almost every person I meet longs to cultivate a more meaningful relationship with themselves and others. It's about really listening inwardly for guidance, finding the space between each breath, the pause between each thought and slipping into it whether practicing, meditating, driving, anything at all! Taking our inner wisdom and acting upon it. Attuning ourselves to our needs of the moment, day, week, month, being connected for the benefit of all beings.

My trainings with Ganga White, Tracey Rich & Shiva Rea in the Vinyasa flow lineage translates for me as meditation within movement. It’s where our physical form meets our emotional and intellectual bodies. Being connected to the breath throughout the practice keep us present, alert and awake. It guides us to the subtle micro adjustments our body may need - posing and reposing... analysis in action where we find yin and yang meeting. Flowing is something I take from my practice off the mat and into the world… it’s a practice to stay fluid, inhaling life's inspiration, exhaling the debris. Where the breath is stuck, so is life.

My studies with Tias Little over the last 20 years have shaped my inquiry of things when they are slowed down. As I dare to go slowly, to look thru the lens of anatomy and energetics, to inquire what's stored where in the body and how to move thru our many layers with more ease and steadiness is profound. I am grateful for his grounding, introspective approach. I love incorporating the SATYA yoga I have learned from him every.single.day.

Last but not least my yin practice deepened while living in the high mountains of Colorado and I integrate its physical stillness and profound intuitive inquisition into every practice. As I have recovered from injuries and illnesses it is clear how our issues are held in our tissues!

Over the last 11 years I have celebrated my strong desire to offer others a way to immerse themselves into themselves thru the practices of yoga more deeply. I specialize in private instruction and lead several cultural yoga, meditation retreats each year as well as lead “ Be.Within” a 100 hr Yoga Immersions and “ Be.Teaching from Within” a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training. The journey is an ever lasting one for all involved, connecting to oneself is crucial to be able to fully connect with others in life and with what we do.  

The 100 hr Yoga Immersion “Be.Within” is all about just that. Of course we are with ourselves every moment of every day… but are we really? Are we really in relationship with our essence or with the stories, beliefs, habits and patterns we emerge from? This journey is about looking inwards thru the lens of yoga to refine and define our relationship to self.

The 200 hr “Be.Teaching from Within” is a journey of integrating what lights us up on our mats to share with others. During this time I guide a small group of less than 10 people once again thru the yoga lens to help each person find their unique voice. I know how important it is to me to study with people who are sharing what’s genuinely and uniquely them … not just what they have memorized or studied as the “right” way because it was perfect for someone else!

Whether class with me is 10 minutes, at home, the studio or abroad you’ll find meditation of movement and action in stillness are the woven fabric of my practices and my teachings. Every time I enter the sacred space of my mat, I feel so grateful knowing the shift that can occur in just a few short moments of conscious reflection.

Some other things about me that make me ME! In addition to my yoga offerings, I have my Nutritional degree, as I was always looking inwards through the lens of yoga towards what was healing, energizing and balancing and not! The way in which we ingest life to me is exactly the same.. what we eat or drink either helps nourish us or deplete us. The stimulus of life thru our senses is so important to understand to balance in this very busy world.  I love helping others return or stay in balance with realistic, foundational lifestyle choices. Food is medicine. I am often found in my kitchen cooking for friends and family enjoying the healing energies of food and companionship, sacred pause indeed. I have 5 boys at home whom I adore … a combination of 2 and 4 legged and you can often find us exploring near and far together.

I believe it's our collective efforts that make all the difference ~ Jai Ganesh!! 

With love and gratitude to share what I am most passionate about, Kristin
