about: Kristen Stuart BA, PTS, MBS, RYT

Kristen is the director of öm mind•body fitness offering private yoga sessions, group yoga classes, wellness workshops and retreats. She began working in the health and wellness industry as a personal trainer and soon recognized the need for a more holistic approach to health. After taking her first Ashtanga class, she knew that she had found something that allowed her to connect to her herself on a much deeper level and went on to complete her 200hr Teacher Training through Trinity Yoga. Yoga has provided an incredible platform for growth and transformation and is a lifestyle that Kristen embraces and shares with passion and an open heart. Her commitment to the yoga path has been influenced and inspired by many amazing teachers including Rameen Peyrow, Shiva Rea, Richard Freeman and Noah Maze.

Kristen believes in empowering her students to reach their full potential in a safe, fun and supportive environment. Her teaching style integrates playfulness, strength and discovery, drawing from Ashtanga, Anusara, Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga practices. The yoga practice is a journey of self-discovery through a deepened self awareness and heightened level of consciousness in both mind and body. As we open our hearts, we begin to peel back our layers and connect with our authentic self from a place of truth and compassion.

Her goal to make yoga accessible to all ages and abilities has led to the development of a variety of classes, workshops and retreats to help people reconnect with themselves and nature through self-reflection, yoga practice, breathwork and meditation. Kristen also works with teens, female specific groups and corporate clients offering yoga programming, wellness workshops and team retreats. When she is not teaching or training, you will find Kristen playing in the Rockies hiking, climbing, and skiing or traveling to warm locales to connect with the ocean and feel the flow in her newfound love - surfing!
