Kristine is a Certified Yoga Instructor passionate about helping others find strength and resilience through movement. Her journey began in 2007 with a decade of competitive cheerleading, later discovering yoga during college as a way to ground herself through life’s changes. Amid the 2020 global quarantine, yoga became a powerful tool for managing stress, inspiring her to earn her instructor certification in 2021.
Kristine has taught gentle recharge, active flow, and candlelight yoga at Forward Thinking Fitness, BeWell Studio, and Valley Wellness Center. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Psychology from Simmons University, weaving mental well-being into each class she leads. When she’s not teaching, Kristine works in healthcare administration, enjoys nature walks, and has a guilty pleasure of analyzing reality TV shows.
