Kristen Shick

Kristen has been an athlete all of her life and began practicing yoga roughly 15 years ago. She fell in love with the yogic concept of bringing balance to all things opposite – the left and right sides of the body, the muscular and organic energies, the balance of the feet on the mat, the hands on the earth and most importantly – the balance of the ego and heart.

As her practice deepened, she found the works of B.K.S. Iyengar to be particularly inspiring. The intricacies of the asanas – the way the slightest adjustment of the physical form could open energetic pathways, create space where there was compression and bring harmony, where only chaos had existed, were nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Her certifications include Cleveland Yoga 200-hr RYT, Level 1&2 Baptiste Yoga, Lifetime Fitness Strike and CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross.

Besides teaching yoga, she has also teaches group fitness and yoga sculpt.  When she is not teaching, she is a manager at Cleveland Yoga and lululemon athletica, where she is also a legacy ambassador.
