YOGA BACKGROUND

Kristine first discovered yoga during her last year of college. At the time, she was stressed out with the pressures of trying to figure out what to do after graduation. Yoga became a way for Kristine to practice pranayama both on and off the mat.

In 2010, Kristine did her first 200HR yoga training at Power Yoga Works in Philadelphia with Bill Raup and went on to continue studying yoga with Baron Baptiste for 10 years. She has a certification in trauma-informed through Street Yoga in Seattle, WA and has a Level 2 certification to teach yoga for traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors and their care-takers through Love Your Brain Yoga. During the pandemic, Kristine studied mind based mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) meditation. Kristine was board President for Roots2Rise in Philadelphia, creating accessible yoga programs in  underserved communities. Kristine has also led and facilitated yoga trainings for teachers to bring mindfulness and yoga practices to the classroom as well as facilitating workshops for yoga teacher trainings.

Kristine’s approach to her yoga classes is to cultivate a rhythm of breath that will move you powerfully and naturally from pose to pose. 

COACHING BACKGROUND

Kristine is a Level 4 Certified Lightyear Leadership Coach where she focuses on working with people to design and create a visionary life to live from. In 2021, during the pandemic, Kristine participated in the Level 1 year-long training with Susanne Conrad, the Founder of Lightyear Leadership, focusing on setting a vision for herself, as well as learning to coach others to hold a vision for their future and live for today. Kristine continued onto Level 2 training, to learn and coach on the Cycles of Success, led by Daniel McCall. She utilizes the principles of Lightyear Leadership in all of her endeavors; which Kristine accredits her work with Lightyear is what made her decide to pursue her Masters in Business Administration at Rutgers University after being out of school for over 20 years. Level 3 focused on Whole Prosperity, emphasizing global perspectives, possibilities, and mastering relationships with time and money. Level 4 training theme was the Field of Plenty, which focused on Creating Cultures of Transformation and Unique, Universal Intentions.

Kristine loves the artistry of life and believes we all have the power to design our future. The first time Kristine was introduced to Lightyear and learned its principles, she felt like she was given a guidebook on how to create the life she envisioned for her future. Kristine curiously experiments with different techniques to cultivate the art of coaching. As a coach, she encourages others to be bold and imaginative to create extraordinary possibilities into reality, in all areas of life because her life’s purpose is to inspire others to live in their greatness.
