Namaste. My name is Kristy Healey. I've been teaching some form of group exercise class for the last 30+ years. I came to my first yoga class in 2000 after growing tired of my regular teaching exercise routine and with the strong encouragement from a close friend. Through the practice, I had found the physical challenge that I was looking for and became hooked immediately. With my yoga practice I have learned to listen to my body as much as my heart and my heart as much as my head, and to not take myself too seriously when I’m on (and off) my mat. I have found peace and quiet in my mind, a place away from all the chatter…something I had never been able to find before. I see all of the positive changes slowly taking place in my life and I just cannot stop myself from spreading the word and sharing it with everyone.
Approaching instruction with a deep spiritual reverence for the sacredness of yoga coupled with a joyous playful sense of humor, my classes offer a safe, nurturing and challenging environment for students to come and explore their mental and physical boundaries.
I have a 200 hour teacher certification. I feel extremely grateful to the entire yoga community for giving a part of themselves in every class and for creating such a supportive and loving community at our studio.
Outside of yoga, I am a National Account Manager at Interwest Brokerage. Off my mat and when I’m not selling candy to grocery store chains, I try to spend as much time possible outdoors, mountain biking, and hiking. I am blessed with a large community of amazing friends and family who keep my cup full.
Keep doing yoga. Get out of your own way. Enjoy life. Smile.
Breathe. I’ll see you on your mat!
