I have been practicing yoga since 2006, but was always intimidated walking into a yoga class - I never felt that the poses were fully explained and I compared myself to all the other yoga students. In 2018 I was fortunate enough to attend a yoga class when I was at a low point (our family had just moved, I didn't have many friends in the new locale, I was exhausted as a new mom, and we had not yet found a community). The teacher, Kristin Gibowicz, led us through a beautiful yoga practice and her message about healing and rest was just what I needed - I actually spent the whole practice with rejuvenating tears streaming down my face. I was hooked by Kristin's ministry and teaching style and began to crave more opportunities to get on my yoga mat. The experience of uniting my breath and movement in my soul was amazing.
I began to formulate a plan to turn an outbuilding on our property into a yoga studio where I could bring the science of yoga plus the powerful, loving, and healing yoga experience to others in my new community. I followed Kristin like a little puppy dog and was grateful to learn that she was planning to start a yoga school. I attended the inaugural class of the Living Soul Yoga Leadership Institute, a certified Yoga Alliance school, completing 200 hours of training in April of 2020 to obtain my teaching certificate. I completed 300 hours of training in April of 2023 to achieve my master yoga teacher designation of RYT 500.
More about me: I grew up in Colorado and met my husband here. We have two amazing and busy boys plus dogs, goats, and chickens . . . it is a constant whirlwind every day - which brings me to my knees in prayer and my mat for calm. I hope that my students experience the joy that this practice gives to me. Get in touch with me if you’re new to yoga, or want to find out more.
