Kristen discovered yoga at Linfield College in 2004. Born and raised in Portland she has attended yoga classes in many, many studios all over our city. As an elementary school teacher, she has found yoga to bring her a sense of calm and balance after long days of teaching children in the classroom. In September 2024, Kristen began her initial 200-hour yoga teacher training at Elk Rock with Fawn Williams. She looks forward to deepening her practice and teaching yoga for many decades to come. In her free time, Kristen enjoys bike riding and going for walks around SE Portland, where she lives with her husband and two daughters.
