I used to abhor silence! It was borderline violent for me. As I recovered from dis-ease of childhood experiences and adult dysfunction, I began to have a more friendly relationship with myself and it wasn't so scary anymore. Unfortunately, I had a misunderstanding of mindfulness and meditation, so as I sought to develop a practice for all its wonderful benefits, I felt a failure.
My Mission: To illuminate the truth & wisdom in each person I work with through yoga postures, breathing, and meditation for the purpose of transformation & spiritual development. To create community by facilitating safe, protected environments for students to share their personal experience, strength, hope, struggles and triumphs with one another as they share life in the common deep desire: to freely receive and give love.
Everyone is welcome to come as you are and let go of all expectations, competition and judgment. We all have our particular health concerns or issues, be it an old sports injury or a tender lower back. It is important to be very careful to listen to your body over any instructional cues. Teachers will do their best to tailor yoga poses to accommodate your needs, but this is limited based on number of participants.

With the stresses of everyday life and the craziness that can be our life at times between school, work, sports, plays, events, new teenagers, pets and the rush, business and responsibility that comes with it all, I was looking for something for my kids and I to be able to wind down and refocus ourselves. We joined Kristens "Intro to yoga foundations: body, mind and breath" and I was not disappointed at all. My kids even loved it, it made them feel good and relaxed and they couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the day. I couldn't be happier and definitely want to continue sharing experiences

What a lovely retreat Body in Unity yoga hosted! I highly recommend Kristen and Dale’s weekend retreats for those who need to recharge, breathe deeply, move gently, and soak in nature for a few days. The rooms are clean and simple. Meals are plentiful, and soft drinks, tea, and water are available round the clock. There are little nooks and crannies to hide with a book or journal. Retreats are so important to our mental health. I highly recommend this one: It soothed my soul and quieted my restless mind.

Being new to yoga I was a bit nervous to attend, but that soon melted away as I checked into the retreat center and met with the group to begin the weekend. Kristen's approach to teaching is so welcoming and gentle. I have never been intimidated by her guidance or by others in the classes or at the retreat. Her yoga roots courses are so informative and truly, for me, life changing.

Kristen's yoga classes are great. If you want to dive deeper take one of her 8 week courses. They are life changing. I have often fought internally with mind/body/spirit. Kristen's courses assist in the three working together. Imagine the peace that comes from that! There is an AM and Pm course and video...it works with anyones schedule. All are deserving and it's a sweet deal. See you there!

Kristen is Amazing! I attended her 3 day silent retreat in April and it was truly enlightening. Kristen does a great job of making you feel comfortable and safe. It was my first time really participating in Yoga and I felt very welcomed. The retreat itself was wonderful. I appreciate the information and teachings that Kristen and Dale gave when it came to mindfulness, meditation, and yoga. It was truly a great experience and I’ll definitely be participating again. Thanks again!

Learning to use my FeetUp trainer with Kristen from BodyInUnity Yoga School has been an extremely positive experience for me. The lessons were very thoroughly taught and all the poses were explained completely. The way the course was set up gave me a chance to go back and review and then ask questions. I gained body awareness in my trainer, more strength, balance and stability and I gained confidence that I can learn even more. Thanks Kristen for a great experience.

My husband and I have been enjoying Friday night special classes. What a wonderful way to end the week and have a date night. Kristen offers some very special events so check out the website or Facebook. You won't regret it, I guarantee it! We did Feet Up last night and it was amazing. It's a great tool to do inversions even if you never have!

I love what this Christian-based yoga studio encompasses - mind, body and soul of the spiritual self. The community of students and teachers have become a family who support each other. More than anything, as a yoga teacher, I enjoy teaching my students the reach their higher power through focus, relaxation and guidance.

I went this morning for the first time, but not the last!!! Kristin was a wonderful instructor and the entire place had a welcoming feeling. Everyone introduced themselves and welcomed my friend and me. Kristen really focused on the breathing and being in the moment. This was a spiritual experience without being intimidating. I'll be back!

Being healthy and exercising have always been goals of mine and I've supported many health clubs by my dues but this is the first time in many years I've been faithful in my exercise and it's due to Kristen and her BodyInUnity class. She teaches at a level that no matter if it's your first time or you've been doing yoga your whole life, you get just what you need out of the class. Her devotions and praise music just add to the whole experience. I have enjoyed seeing how I've improved in my balance, flexibility and strength. I cannot say enough good things about
