Our Team

Kristin Davies—yoga, meditation, massage

Mindfulness is a practice and it can be practiced in an infinite number of ways. I grew up learning the language of dance and swimming then continued to connect with my experience through yoga. I spent years underwater intimately reintroduced to my breath, spatial awareness and gravity. I learned to create and hold space through massage and the profound healing effect of touch. For me, all of these things (and so many more) have led to my mindfulness practice. Teaching yoga, meditation and massage are an extention of my personal practice.

I love to teach and have found myself in the role of teacher many times. I became a teacher because I also love to learn. My first yoga teacher training occured in India in 2011. I went to massage school in 2013 to further my understanding of the body, touch and stress. Daily my son teaches me things I wasn't aware I needed to learn.

At the end of each session I teach I am overwhelmed with the same feeling that brings me back, time after time, to my own yoga practice. It is a sense of cool content and gratitude. I hope to leave my students feeling exactly the same way. Empowered & uplifted, content & centered, exiting in a more positive state than when they entered.
