kristina's bio
Kristina loves yoga. Yoga has given her the ability to fly while staying grounded
on the earth. Since 1997, Kristina has been studying and practicing yoga with
amazing teachers in New York City and Texas. Her primary Hatha Yoga influence
is Anusara Yoga which was graciously introduced to her by Amy Ippoliti.
Kristina's teachings are inspired by the beautiful sound vibrations of
Sanskrit - which she studies with Manorama (Thea D'Alvia) and teachers from
Ananda Ashram
in Monroe, New York. She acknowledges Ananda Ashram founder, Shri Brahmananda
Sarasvati as her Guru and primary teacher on yoga as a foundation
for all aspects of life. She loves teacher Caroline Myss. Ph.D. and credits
her with elucidating the similar truths behind the perennial philosophies of
Yoga and classical Hinduism, Catholicism, Islam and Judaism. Kristina has completed
teacher trainings in Hatha Yoga Therapeutics with Roberto and Maria Theresa
Mazzarella, Power Yoga with Nicki Hurd and Anusara Yoga with
Paige Dunlap and Charly Pivert. She continues to study with Anusara teachers
throughout the U.S. including Amy Ippoliti and Anusara founder John Friend.
Kristina's yoga teaching style is filled with creativity, music, humor and
depth. She encourages students to open to their individuality and strength
while remaining, always, in harmony with nature. She currently teaches in New
York City and at Ananda Ashram. Please contact Kristina for private instruction.
