Kristen is the owner of Kristen Stuart (Yoga) offering personal training, yoga classes and wellness workshops. She began working in the health and wellness industry as a personal trainer and soon recognized the need for a more holistic approach to fitness, which led her to become certified as a Mind-Body Fitness Specialist. After taking her first Ashtanga class, she knew that she had found something that allowed her to connect to her herself on a much deeper level and went on to complete her 200hr Teacher Training through Trinity Yoga. Yoga has provided an incredible platform for growth and transformation and is a lifestyle that Kristen embraces and shares with passion and an open heart. Her commitment to the yoga path has been influenced and inspired by many amazing teachers including Rameen Peyrow, Shiva Rea, Richard Freeman, David Swensen, Nicki Doane and Seane Corne.
As a teacher and trainer, Kristen believes in empowering her clients to reach their full potential in a safe, fun and supportive environment. Her teaching style integrates playfulness, strength and discovery, drawing from Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow, Hatha and Restorative Yoga practices. Her approach to fitness and wellness encourages her clients to push their edge while seeking challenge and balance in both mind and body. Kristen embraces the concept that health and wellness are not short-term solutions, but life long goals. As a fitness and wellness professional Kristen strives to stimulate and deepen the mind-body connection and nurture self discovery. Her classes and programs integrate holistic wellness principles, such as emphasizing mindful living, deepened self-awareness and connection to one’s self and their surroundings. She believes that a strong and flexible body creates a balanced and open mind cultivating total wellness in mind, body and spirit.
Her goal to make yoga accessible to all ages and abilities has led to the development of a variety of classes, workshops and retreats to help people reconnect with themselves and nature through self-refection, yoga practice, breath work and meditation. Kristen also works with teens, female specific groups and corporate clients offering mind-body fitness programming, wellness workshops and team retreats. For more information on any of her classes and retreats, go to www.kristenstuart.ca When she is not teaching or training, you will find Kristen playing in the Rockies hiking, climbing, and skiing or traveling to warm locales to connect with the ocean and feel the flow in her newfound love - surfing!
