“Whether it’s teaching a public class, workshop, or one-on-one session, my role as a teacher is to hold space for students as they practice listening to their body. Having a healthy relationship to our physical and emotional self is a life-long journey. I strive to stay curious and explore the variety of tools we have available to deepen our self-awareness and connection to one another.” -Kristine
