Yoga Testimonials

"1 1/2 years ago when i went to my ortho guy for what was to become my last appointment with him,  i told him that i had a sore lower back.  He took a picture and said that it was because i was developing some arthritis in the  little bone processes that stick out of the side of the lower back vertebrae.  He sent me to my physical therapist who gave me a bunch of exercises that gave me temp relief.  she also said that i had a relatively flat lower back.  Since i have been practicing Yoga that problem has all but been eliminated.  I am more aware of posture especially during the 2 1/2 drive to Door Co. and of spinal curvature and flexibility.... Thanks for being a teacher that allows an old f*** like me to stick with Yoga and continues to challenge us." T.T. Student for just over 1 year

“Kris was able to tailor a yoga session that took into account my abilities as well as the physical limitations I had due to a car accident. In private sessions, she is free to act as both guide and partner, a combination that took me to new levels of body awareness and acceptance.

The pervading sense of grace I felt after one individual lesson stayed with me all week.” Beryl, Private Student

"You’re a superb teacher. Your understanding, knowledge and passion for yoga has helped many of your students overcome their negative barriers pertaining to their specific health problems. You listened and always invited each student to discuss their specific concerns with you after class and by the next class provided your student with information about their specific health problems and poses they could do safely.  You empowered each of us to take care of ourselves, the practice of yoga, and thank our body instead of being critical of it."
