Kristen's love for Mindful Movement and Mindful Living started very early as she was fortunate enough to be introduced to dance, yoga, creative movement and the healing arts as a very young child by her mother. Kristen began to regularly practice yoga and meditation in her teens, then in her 20's she was introduced to Buddhist mindfulness practices and became a reiki practitioner. After assisting her mother with Gita yoga teaching in 2000, Kristen undertook several years of Yoga teacher training in a variety of yoga styles, and since 2002 Kristen has been teaching many forms of yoga, meditation and mindfulness practices to people of all ages and abilities. In 2007 Kristen was fortunate enough to co-facilitate a yoga class at the Yooralla School to a group of children and youths with disabilities, which was a turning point for her in her journey with accessible yoga, advocacy for universal access, and in combining her skills as an OT and yoga teacher.
