Kristie Leahy

As a full-time yoga instructor and community organizer, I have been blessed with the opportunity to teach over 2,000 hours of yoga to a diverse range of demographics and populations. I was introduced to yoga at four-years-old by my mom, Sylvia, who has been my main yoga catalyst. My background in Education in addition to my first certification in yoga from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health (2011) set the strong foundation for a life-long relationship with the path of yoga. Since then, I have studied and trained in advanced yoga practices, trauma and resiliency, children and family specific approaches, reiki I & II, aerial yoga and other aspects of the art. I have earned the E-RYT-500 designation from Yoga Alliance and I don't plan to stop there.

My passion for travel has also greatly influenced my idea of yoga as union and how there is something very real and universal that connects all of us together regardless of what part of the planet we are from or the situations in which we grew up. On a personal note, yoga has brought me deep healing and joy from previous self-destructive behaviors. I hope to share the healing gifts of yoga in a way that makes sense and keeps things meaningful and accessible. In my class offerings you can expect a focus between body, breath, mind, spirit and 'keeping it real.' Be ready to lighten up, have some fun and invite some space for peace and happiness.
