Guest Bio
Kristy was born and raised in NJ, but has lived in PA, MD, MA and recently moved to NC in November 2018 and started her company Mindful Movement Center. She has over 20 years’ experience as a group fitness instructor, and is a 500 RYT yoga teacher. Currently, Kristy is finishing up year 3 of a 3 year yoga therapy certification at Yoga Life Institute, an IAYT accredited school. Kristy has her undergrad in Chemical Engineering and holds an EMBA. She has spent the majority of her professional career working in life sciences companies and technology.
Kristy specializes in working with athletes and older populations in her private yoga practice and business. More health care practitioners are starting to include yogic techniques in their approach to healing — and more yoga teachers give a therapeutic intention to their teaching. Kristy has personal experience using yoga to help her recover from a major, life altering accident. She has recovered and excelled when many doctors thought she might not walk properly again to go on compete in long distance triathlons. People who have never tried yoga before are starting to consider including yoga in their treatment plan and athletic pursuits. A differentiation that Kristy brings to the clients and the classes that she teaches are her healing intentions, experiences and ability to use yoga not only as a healing technique but also as an athletic injury prevention and recovery technique.
