My approach to teaching yoga follows my own personal practice: Ashtanga yoga is an ancient tradition that is to be respected, embraced, and nurtured. Once you focus on and surrender to your practice you will truly feel and see a growth and transformation from within." Krista gives thanks to her teachers Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Rangeswamy, and Saraswati Rangeswamy. She was blessed with the opportunity to study with them for six months in 2006, and has just returned from three months of study with them at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute (August - October 2007). During her recent journey to Mysore, Krista also began studying Classical Odissi Indian Dance under the guidance of Sindhu Kiran. Odissi dance is a beautiful complement to the Ashtanga practice - for yoga is a very reflective form of meditation while Odissi dance is a beautifully expressive form of meditation. Krista has also had the fortune to study Ashtanga Yoga with David Williams, Manju Jois, Beryl Bender Birch, David Swenson, O. P. Tiwari, and Paul Dallaghan. She maintains contact with her teachers so her own practice may continue to grow on the right path under their tutelage. Krista completed her first Ashtanga Yoga teacher training with Manju Jois in the summer of 2003 and then went on to Thailand in November of 2004 to complete a month intensive 200 hour Yoga Alliance teacher training with Paul Dallaghan in Ko Samui, Thailand. In August of 2006 Krista returned to Thailand to study with Paul and work towards her advanced 500 hour Yoga Alliance teacher training certificate. Krista is RYT and ERYT certified to teach yoga through Yoga Alliance. She received her Mat Pilates certification through PAFA (Pilates and Fitness Association), and her Group Exercise certification through AFAA (American Fitness Association of America). Krista holds current CPR and AED certifications through the American Red Cross, and Blood Bourne Pathogens, and First Aid Certification through the American Safety and Health Institute.
