Testimonials for Yoga with Kristina
"Hello Kristina,
Your yoga instruction at our "Journey to Renewal" at Winvian has really
changed my life. It is hard for me to believe that as many times in the
past I have attempted to learn yoga and failed, that I have actually
stayedwith it this time for over a month! I now wake up ready to
stretch. Yoga with meditation is the last thing I do at night before I
goto sleep. And, I have found an instructor here who does really nice
classes like you did for us.
I am so grateful to you, and feel so much better than before I began
this program.
Thankyou again,
Kitty

Testimonial from Kristina's www.YogaVibes.com Class
"I took Kristina's class this morning. I really enjoyed it! I definitely needed
all the reminders to breathe as I found myself sometimes holding my breath without even realizing it.
It was hard and it felt so nice moving slowly. Kristina has such a
calming, sweet spirit.
My favorite part was the meditation at the end. I found that my mind
was completely quiet-which is very rare for me as I live so much in my
head trying to figure things out. Then I found myself with tears in my
eyes-tears of gratitude for my connection to myself and to God. I felt
peaceful and open to life. So, I will definitely be doing the class
again. I am so glad it is available to me.

Testimonial from Kristina's
"Yoga for Men in Recovery" Class
"I was about a year back in Recovery when my sponsor and friend Brian asked if I wanted to try an introductory Yoga class. Of course says I, anything to help put the demons away. Well, it turned out to be an 8 week series of classes covering all aspects of what Yoga was, and how to practice it. I had been to some Yoga classes before, so had some idea of what the poses were, and thought it would be a good thing to get some exercise. But this was different.
Kristina not only covered the poses, but taught us what Yoga was really about. She taught is that Yoga doesn't ask me to forgo the God of my understanding. That Yoga was about opening up the body and mind to let God in. Now, this was something I could use.
One of the problems of the alcoholic, the addict, the overeater, the gambler, addictions in general is the inability of the addict to calm their mind. The constant 'Monkey Chatter' that tells us we are worthless, and not deserving of anything better. This is the demon that eats at us, that creates knots in our stomachs. One of the greats benefits of Yoga practice has been learning to calm those voices. I'd love to say that from moment one I had this ability, I can't. But over the last year of fairly regular practice, I have learned to do this for at least the hour or so I'm at practice… and to some extent the time I spend meditating outside of practice.
Kristina is a great teacher, and has become a great friend. A little while ago I had a weekend relapse. Once again the great despair came upon me. On that Monday Kristina called me, she had had a horrible nightmare about me and was worried. She was there to help me get through it. This is a great miracle, this connection, with a true friend. Someone who was there for me with no judgment, just Love. For this I am grateful beyond words.
Thank you Kristina, my teacher, my friend.

Testimonials from "Journey to Bliss" programs
"True bliss! The feeling of my breath entering and leaving my body left me with a sensation throughout every part of me. I feel so fresh and new, so empowered, and what I needed most...peace within me."
"I journeyed to a beautiful place. The air was so clean, the waters so clear and refreshing. The breezes were gentle and sweet. I lay there as honey and milk poured over me. My hands grew large and were warm and vibrated gently. There was pressure as though someone was shielding it. I heard a chant over and over... "You have the power"... The full moon became my pillow. I saw a beautiful orchard of orange trees."
"Kristina, Kat & Jenna, "Journey to Bliss" is truly one of the most special gifts you can give to me. It is a profoundly uplifting, spiritual, and peaceful experience that I will always to go to when my spirit needs it. This is my second time being here and I cannot wait til the next. It should be a regular event. Please, please, please offer it again soon!! With deepest gratitude, love, Christina S."
Testimonial from "Yoga Sleep"
(Kristina's technique for getting kids to sleep)
"I wanted to tell you that yoga sleep is starting to work nicely. When I first tried it I think he was a little too young, too squirmy. I think he likes it now and I really think it helps, thanks!!!
