a nice brisk early-evening class. there are numerous delicious dinner options within a couple blocks. the Liberty Cafe is a particular favorite, with outstanding local, seasonal, and organic foods. their wine bar often has fine music, too!
Kristie's students have said:
"I have never felt so comfortable in class. just minutes into the class and I feel like I've arrived at home. and blissed out for the rest of the evening!"
"she's an expert at guiding students toward expanding and deepening their individual practices without sacrificing the unity of a group class. I found her yoga classes to be my favorite ever."
"I just wanted to tell you I'm a believer."
"Kristie brings a spiritual energy to her classes, honoring the mind as well as the body. she simply asks that you do, too. her instruction is non-judgmental and imparts her own sense of peace in its delivery. she invites you to push a little more and yet accept what your body is willing to do today. every day is different. corrections of asanas are gentle and there is no feeling of competition with others in class. she brings light to class and invites you to do the same."
"my meditations were always the 'best' (deepest, longest, calmest) at the end of her classes, when we would sit for meditation. and that's when I realized that Kristie was a true teacher/mentor for me. through her guidance I was able to go much deeper, and not only in meditation, but my body too, was able to do new stretches and asanas for the first time. she inspired me to continue with my personal, daily practice, and before long I was studying to teach yoga as well - I wanted to know what she did!"
