Here's what Kristin's students have to say...

 

Brittany D. - 200hr Sakalya Yoga Teacher

"Kristin was an amazing teacher throughout our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Crystal Tree Yoga. Her approach to teaching asana made every session engaging and accessible, and she brought a sense of joy and enthusiasm to each day! Kristin integrated wisdom and deeper insights into every lesson, enabling us to truly understand the nuances of each asana. I am deeply grateful to have learned from her and highly recommend her as a yoga instructor."
 

Tash R. - 200hr Sakalya Yoga Teacher

"During my 200-hour yoga teacher training, Kristin guided me with such compassion and wisdom. She made it fun and taught us how to create asana flows from a new moon practice to working the core (and so much more). Her knowledge of alignment, the anatomy of the body and mindfulness not only deepened my practice, but also helped me find confidence and strength in my teaching journey. I am grateful to have been her student and receive her teachings."

Meet Your Teacher - Kristin Heywood
Birth Companion & Doula | Reiki Master | Pre & Postnatal Yoga + Fitness Teacher

Kristin Heywood has been teaching Pre and Postnatal Yoga and Fitness for over eight years, offering compassionate, evidence-informed support to women through every stage of the motherhood journey. After completing her initial 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2016, she was drawn to specialize in prenatal and postpartum care — honoring birth as a sacred, transformative rite of passage.

She has completed multiple pre and postnatal yoga teacher trainings, including the Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist certification and The Pelvic Pro with Sarah Duvall. Kristin has also been mentored by pelvic physiotherapist Meryl DaCosta, with whom she has co-led numerous pelvic health workshops to support women in reconnecting with their strength, alignment, and inner wisdom.

Her work in pregnancy and postpartum centers around guiding mothers back to themselves — back to their hearts — where she believes all answers reside. With a holistic, heart-led approach, Kristin encourages deep connection, autonomy, and self-trust.

For the past two years, Kristin has been co-teaching the 200-hour Sakalya Yoga Teacher Training alongside Sylvie Laflèche, founder of Crystal Tree Yoga. In this role, she brings her deep expertise in pre and postnatal yoga, pelvic health, and embodied movement to support aspiring teachers in building a strong foundation rooted in integrity, inclusivity, and self-awareness. Kristin's contributions to the training include leading modules on asana, the energetics of the feminine body, trauma-informed teaching, and prenatal/postnatal adaptations — helping to shape a new generation of yoga teachers with both knowledge and heart.

As a Birth and Postpartum Doula, Kristin has supported many women and families across a variety of birth experiences. She now companions women who are choosing to birth at home or outside of conventional medical systems, offering traditional, grounded support rooted in respect and sovereignty.
