"Kristin's prenatal and postnatal programs helped me a lot, especially as I was a new mother and newcomer to Canada. All the dedication and care of the classes brought us security and help in this very challenging phase of our lives. Yoga classes make me understand, accept and lead my body to a peaceful and powerful birth. I thank Kristin for all the love and empathy in the way of participating in this moment with her projects, being this person always available and authentic."

“Kristin has been instrumental in helping me feel like a strong mama and leading me on a path of fitness and mindfulness before, during and after having my son. Her genuine warmth, kindness and exceptional pre and post natal expertise is evident in every class I’ve attended. I look forward to practicing with her each week and love her mix of yoga, fitness and meditation.”

“I practiced with Kristin through most of my pregnancy and every week I looked forward to my prenatal yoga class. Her classes offer a perfect balance of exercise, stretching and meditation. I always left feeling far better than when I started. Kristin is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable not just about yoga but also pregnancy and birth; I highly recommend making this investment in your prenatal care!”

Movement.
Kristin thoughtfully designs each class to support your changing and growing body throughout pregnancy. The focus is on functional movement and building strength in the areas most affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and the fourth trimester. You'll explore pelvic floor awareness and relaxation techniques, as well as movement practices that can support you during labor and aid in your postpartum recovery.
Meditation
Kristin guides a moving meditation rooted in Kriya Yoga and Yoga Nidra, specifically adapted for pregnancy. Trained in this unique practice, she weaves together intentional movement, guided visulizations, mantra (chanting), mudra (hand gestures), and breathwork to create a deeply grounding and transformative experience. Her classes are designed to help you cultivate a stronger connection to yourself and your baby, while feeling strong in both body and mind.
