Here's what people are saying about Be.Yoga...

 after traveling with Kristin on yoga retreats:

“Kristin did an amazing job researching and organizing our Italy trip. It was personalized, safe and interesting. A truly great balance of yoga, sight seeing, socializing and relaxing. And the food was beyond expectations - fantastic! 
We would go again in a heartbeat!❤️”
-- Alison & John

“Kristin takes care of everything!! She knows what it takes to plan a meaningful and soul nurturing experience. I totally trust her judgement and decisions and consider myself truly blessed to have crossed paths with her.” — Dory

“Thank you sooo much for putting together such an inspirational and meaningful journey. My heart smiles every time I reflect on the time spent in Morocco. “ — Donna

“My R & R in Aruba far exceeded my expectations in every way! The location, the food and most of all the wonderful people.Thank you for all your planning and attention to detail.” — Mindy

“We enjoyed every moment of the retreat in Aruba! Thank you for making it so special. It's obvious that you put your heart and soul into what you do!” — Heather

“I wanted to thank you for a wonderful trip. Everything was perfect. Being my first destination yoga trip I had an amazing time and met so many great people. These memories will be in my heart forever. I hope I can join you again on another great journey. Thanks again and much love.”
--Sheryl

“Over the past several years I’ve noticed my ‘spark’ has gone out. I’ve been unhappy with my life’s direction & have known for a long time I’ve been in need of gaining control & to do something that invigorates me. Your retreat really helped me have a good ‘talk with myself’. That being said, I did a lot of thinking & have decided to take my (several decades late) gap year and starting in January I’m going to start doing volunteer work and have a more fulfilling life not only for myself, but to bring happiness to others as well. I made the final decision to move forward with this plan last night. And I must say, I woke up the happiest person...I can’t remember the last time that happened!
Thank you again for not only an amazing adventure but helping me to see the future in a brighter light! Wishing all the best.”
--Anonymous

“What a wonderful trip with time connecting with myself and all the beautiful ladies that you’ve brought together. It’s such a reflection on you and the positivity you inspire in others. Thank you so much!” — Meg

"Kristin expertly hosted a transformative trip-of-a-lifetime to the jungle of Cabuya, Costa Rica with stress-free options for adventure, relaxation and connection with ourselves and our small group.  The conversations we've shared, experiences to savor and moments of unforgettable joy experimenting with different types of yoga, meditating and hiking with our group, have widened my path for what's to come. Honestly, it's really difficult for me to put words to what this trip meant and feels like.”
-- Karen

“When you travel with Kristin you know you will be staying at a unique, special property with comfortable and more authentic to the region accommodations and excellent food. Those are the no-brainers. You will also meet new people and perhaps reunite with those you met on a previous trip. You will have thoughtful excursions to relevant places that allow for cultural understanding and an appreciation for natural and man made beauty plus interaction with local people. You will have the opportunity to practice yoga daily and spend some time wandering and relaxing around your beautiful resort surrounding. You will enjoy your meals with your group and your luxury van rides to excursions as there is always plenty of chatter and conversation going on. You will have loads of fun! My latest trip to Magical Morocco exemplified all of the above and more. The indescribable Marrakech Medina awakened all of the senses and my photos tell a wonderful and treasured story.” — Dory

“Thanks again for providing time for us on our retreat to see Project Soar in action and meet the girls and hear the story of how they operate.  It was very impactful and so amazing to see it up close and personal. As I think of how our daughter grew up here in CT, and all of the benefits she had in education, material things, health care, etc, it makes it even more important to help these young women.” — Laura

thoughts of 100 hr yoga immersion /200 hr yoga teacher training:

“Life Changing Experience” — Jennifer

“Have you ever been to one of those rare movies where nobody gets up after it’s finished? Everyone is sitting there as the end credits roll down the screen and the theater is still and quiet. The audience collectively recognizing something special has just happened and want to, need to linger in the moment of the happening. That’s kind of what it’s like when you’re finished with your yoga teacher training at Be.Yoga. The classes offered everything one needs for a quality yoga teacher training experience. All of the who, what, when, where & why of the ancient practice of yoga. The teachers know their craft, the training is well thought out and rigorous - it’s a full program. 
But that is not what keeps theaters filled with people sitting silently with their own thoughts after the movie. And not why one pauses, quietly reflecting on their yoga teacher training experience at Be.Yoga. The magic was not in the tale, but in the telling. It wasn’t so much what was said as how it was said. It wasn’t in the information; the teachings and texts, good as they were. The magic was in how Kristin & friends invited us into their world, the craft and practice of yoga. Be.Yoga is a village of vibrant, alive, creative and talented people sharing their gifts in a wonderfully unique way. It was quite a journey.
Did I mention it was fun?” —PJP

If you are questioning the timing, the cost, the commitment or the impact on others in your life I invite you to ask yourself what do you need right now and meditate on that thought…I hope for you also it brings you to YTT. Since YTT I feel more grounded, confident and connected to myself and I have grown immensely. The community that YTT offers you will accept you with open arms. Remember life is for living, don’t let life pass you by. Live in this moment, this present moment. PS _ Kristin will work with you and your life commitments. She is a very flexible, open minded, loving human. — Linda

This teacher training program stimulated an awakening in my life that I so desperately needed. It offered me endless support when I needed it most. My holistic health and overall well-being is at its utmost peak. I have had so many opportunities to teach and advance my own practice largely because of this program. The environment that Be.Yoga fosters a warm, inclusive, inspiring, knowledgeable, and safe journey. I highly recommend this teacher training program to anyone who seeks a flexible, amazing program adapted to each and every individual. Namaste 🙏 - Annie

“Kristin Cork and Be.Yoga was the journey that came to be in such a holistic way. Kristin led my classmates and me with courage and a warm heart and helped us use her tools to create our own treasure chest. I will forever be grateful to her and her school for giving me the footprints to follow my path of yoga and a higher self.
— Jessica

Reflecting back to our YTT this year, Kristin created, taught and mentored us through the YTT program with seamless flow that integrated all the contents above, and more importantly with so much support and positive energy.” — Anna

“Yoga Teacher Training with Kristin Cork of Be.Yoga covers Teaching Yoga as well as every aspect of living a yogic life. Such a wonderful experience - life changing.” — Susan

"I am so honored to have been a part of Kristin's first YTT at BE Yoga. I could not have imagined how comprehensive this training would be! I knew from taking Kristin's weekly yoga classes that she presents yoga right down to the deepest cellular level. Still, I was unprepared for how much, as a group and individually, we would learn. As questions arose, they sparked meaningful discussions. Kristin's expressions of compassion and sensitivity cultivated the same behaviors in others and created a warm, safe circle of yogis. We were encouraged to bring our unique experiences and backgrounds to the circle and these differences were clearly celebrated. This is definitely not One-size-fits-all yoga teacher training! I learned to deepen my personal practice and how to naturally incorporate yogic principles into my work as a teacher of cross-cultural shamanism and spiritual studies. As a result of taking this training, I am confident that yoga will become a joyful and lifelong practice for me." — Joyce

“Yoga Teacher Training with Be.Yoga covers Teaching Yoga as well as every aspect of living a yogic life. Such a wonderful experience - life changing.” — Susan

“Our constant multitasking can in a lot of ways be positive because doing it can allow for more freedom of time, but in many other ways it’s detrimental to our quality of life, our relationships, our own self-care, and our ability to settle into the still mind more. Being able to live less in the fluctuating part of the mind allows us to be more present and therefore open ourselves to mindfulness. Thank you for bringing us into the moment!” —Lesley `

This training taught me so much about yoga philosophy and asana. I learned so much about myself and what type of yoga fits me best! — Emmalee

“This is an excellent program. Kristin is an expert in her field and she clearly loves teaching Yoga to others. She also uses other professionals who are very dedicated and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this school.” — Kathy

“Kristin Cork is a phenomenal teacher of the practice of yoga mentally, physically and spiritually.” — Alyson

"Working with Kristin in the Be.Yoga Teacher Training program has been one of the very best gifts I've ever given myself! What a luxury it has been to bathe in the study of yogic history, philosophy, energy and practices with an intimate group of like minded women! Kristin's poetic ability to deliver, communicate and help me better understand this ancient, yet modern culture has served me well and allowed me to make it my own."
--Tobey

“The Be.yoga Teacher Training was a comprehensive and well thought out program. Kristin applies her teachings to the whole student individually. She was sincere, thoughtful and knowledgeable through the entire YTT. I wish it didn't have to end! I would recommend the Be.yoga Teacher Training to anyone.” — Natalie

“I thought to be a yoga instructor you first needed to master all the poses inside and out and develop a lot of stamina and endurance to teach all day. However, I have learned that we are all students and teachers selflessly sharing what we have learned on a journey that never ends. I believe Be.Yoga's 200 hour YTT program has given me a solid foundation and shown me where to look for guidance. This truly is a well-rounded comprehensive program with exposure to many different facets of Yoga - so much more than learning how to perform poses.” — Dan


“You know that saying, When the time is right, the teacher will come!” —Heather


“I LOVED learning the anatomy, doing the readings, discussing at a more spiritual level, the movie night, and the mandatory classes. Keep up the wonderful, enlightening, heart-warming work! I will be recommending Be.Yoga to ALL.” — Lexi


“It was an amazing class this morning and I just love space and light of the studio! You have a contagious positive energy that I admire, I am ready to commit!” — Becky


“Kristin is such a knowledgable, caring, helpful human being. She is available to you even after you graduate and is always there for you 24/7. Anyone who is thinking of doing the course with Kristin, run and sign up right away. She is a rare gem.” — Suzy


“ The experience was everything I hoped for and more. I loved being a student and learning about history, anatomy, philosophy, as well as asana instruction. I loved breaking up the structure of the weekend by varying all of these topics throughout, yet weaving in a common theme that made it clear how they worked together.
Thank you!!” — Tom

“My training at Be.Yoga was informative for someone having no experience with yoga and also allowed the facilitation of my spiritual journey. Training at Be truly prepares anyone who is ready to teach or go deeper into their practice of yoga.” — Rachel

 
“I am eternally grateful to each person for the gifts that were shared so freely with our group.” — Leeny


“Thank you for your love and support throughout this journey. The fluidity and connectedness of our group fostered strength and amazing energy, and the beautiful final yoga classes taught by all made me cry happy (and some sad) tears. I felt so connected with each person since the very first night and have grown in so many ways thru this time. I’m very much looking forward to more upcoming times together.“ — Jenn


"Kristin is always open and flexible, yet leads you to stretch your limits, while respecting your boundaries. She has an ability to bring out the unique gifts each student brings to their practice and future teachings. Kristin's ever smiling gentle spirit is inspirational and provides a nurturing, supportive environment for self discovery and growth." — Jan


“Kristin is highly conscientious and talented as a yoga teacher and facilitator of yoga teacher training. I chose the training because of her ethics, her skills, and her wholehearted commitment to the depth and breadth of yoga as a way of life and being.” — Martha

“YTT @Be.Yoga was an amazing experience. It proved to be incredibly rewarding journey. I highly recommend this training for anyone interested in taking their Yoga experience to the next level.” — Michelle

“Our training was supportive and very well rounded. You left not only knowing how to teach a class but truly knowing what yoga means to you and how you can use this to help others.” — Jen

“I truly enjoyed the YTT at Be.Yoga and was very happy with the choice I made as I was considering a few other programs at that time. Kristin’s structure of the program was excellent. She organized the content by starting from the root and moving our way up through the body, and integrated asana, anatomy, related philosophy and topics as we moved through each section, which worked out really well. She was very knowledgeable and shared great learnings on body alignment and modifications. She was also flexible and worked with me when I had challenges with training schedule given that I traveled a lot for work. Overall, the training expanded my knowledge, both technically and philosophically, after 15 years of practicing yoga and inspired me to teach even though I signed up for YTT mainly to learn more about yoga practice. Lastly, I felt supported and welcomed into yoga teacher community with so much love, caring, and kindness from Kristin.” — Anna


“I absolutely love YTT! It’s all starting to jive and make sense. I cannot tell you how happy I am to be under Kristin’s guidance on this incredible journey!” — Linda

“I feel immensely grateful that I was able to start this journey with you, Scott and other fellow students. Learning and practicing and exploring so many aspects of the body, mind and spirit and at the same time accepting myself and others for who we are with all our attributes and fears.I am inspired to continue learning and to stay connected.” — Sonja


“I love how Kristin keeps coming to her mat, trying new things, being brave and evolving. She offers space to each person so they can focus on their physical and mental well being to really delve into the science, practices and art of yoga. I felt our time together helped me to develop meaningful knowledge, a depth oand understanding of the technical skills to set yoga teachers on course for a rewarding journey. I am truly grateful for this time learning from so many including the group! Thank you is a phrase that is said and fades away but the feeling of gratitude I have in my heart is a place, a reservoir that is eternal. Thank you for helping me to know this place.” —Alison

“I fell asleep last night with a happy, happy heart It isn't often that one gets to be a part of such a special circle...a circle of nurturing, loving sisters. Thank you, thank you, thank you...” — Joy

day to day yoga, specialty workshops & meditation classes:

“Be.yoga in Avon stands out for two reasons.   The instructors have the true yogi spirit.  Everyone is treated with love and kindness without judgment. Second, the space is heavenly. I've been practicing yoga for nearly ten years and have tried a dozen studios and Be.Yoga is simply the best!"
--Kevin

“Thanks again for a calming and centering yoga class. Everybody enjoyed it immensely-including me.You helped hold the space and intentions for a beautiful weekend. Thanks for sharing your beautiful positive energy with all of us.”
--Rani

"I have to take this opportunity to share that I love, love, love Patricia's gentle yoga class! She brings exactly what I was looking for as I begin my long forgotten yoga practice. In my opinion Patricia combines just the right amount of breath work and stretches that are not too overly challenging but enough so that they result in an inner focus and level of concentration that "clears space in my head" as Patricia explained. I love that! I love the readings she brings and how she presents them while holding poses. It's a perfect opportunity for inner reflection. And she is so supportive with the props - encouraging them and bringing them over during certain poses - many I would have no idea how to use if she was not right there with them. All of it just perfect! I appreciate her and am so happy to have found her class."
--Heidi

"For me, Be.Yoga is more than a place to practice my yoga.  It is a community of warm and compassionate souls.  I feel so welcome and comforted there." 
--Tom

"Be.Yoga is a nurturing, welcoming community where each individual can feel comfortable to develop a yoga practice that is what they need.  Kristin and staff are highly experienced and trained yoga teachers, who care deeply about each student and making sure that yoga is safe, fun, and works at all levels, including the physical and the spiritual.  The other students at the center are friendly and kind.  Be.Yoga feels like "home".  I wish I could spend even more time there!"
--Karen

“ I love the positivity and confidence you have! Me (and my feet) will see you soon!”
- - Rachel

"Since I have come to Be.Yoga and connected with everyone there, there are no words to describe how grateful I am to be welcomed into your community.” 
- - Suzy 

"Be.Yoga is phenomenal because of the culture of love and compassion that the owner Kristin has established in the studio. There is no judgment and at Be. they focus on the fact that Yoga works for every body, age and level of interest! I go to Be.Yoga two or three times a week because it makes me strong and at peace. Love it!"
--Karen

"Be.Yoga is a place to come back to yourself. You can find any class to meet you where you are in your mind, body and soul. Each teacher is warm and welcoming to every student. The space is beautiful and unique, be sure check out the gorgeous wood work inside! I encourage anyone who has been thinking of trying out yoga, or is a total yogi to come. The workshops are always offering interesting ways to improve your life with obtainable and realistic ways of living a happy and healthy life. Thank you Be.Yoga for holding space to explore ourselves!"
--Anneliese

"I have enjoyed practicing at Be.Yoga and I tell people all the time."I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for yoga!". It's been such a rewarding journey discovering new ways of healing and strengthening my body and mind. I appreciate the depth of knowledge and commitment the teachers share with their students. The studio is a welcoming and safe place to do yoga and a peaceful place to leave the outside world behind. I feel very blessed to have you all in my yoga journey~~ Thank you~~~ I appreciate all the teachers at Be. especially Julie, Kristin, Rebecca and Mary Kay. <3"
--Sheryl

"I am so thankful and grateful for Be.Yoga. By taking their yoga classes, I have been helped so much. Teachers are all so caring and listen to you if you have a question or if there is something that you need to work on. Their classes are always healing and inspiring. They have shown me that even when you think that you can't do a stretch, try it, and listen to your heart, and your body will follow. By doing yoga from your heart, you can do anything, and that is why Kristin, Julie and Iris have changed my life and helped me so much. They have touched my heart, and I don't know where I would be today without taking yoga from them."
--Julie
