Kristi maxwell

RYT 200

Kristi first discovered yoga over 5 years ago as a way to stretch out her body. She started with just a few classes a month. It was committing to a more consistent practice and becoming part of a supportive yoga studio and community that helped her fully realize the physical, mental and emotional benefits that yoga provides. She completed RYT-200 in 2020 through the Baptiste methodology.
 

She has found that a slow gentle yoga flow is what she prefers to teach encouraging students of all ages to look within themselves for that energy, strength and calm. She gives her students space to move in a way that feels good and encourages them to always listen to their bodies.


Off the mat, some of Kristi’s favorite things are going to the beach, gardening, getting on the boat with Jeff and her chocolate lab, Sadie.
