Kristin DeMarco was introduced to yoga through an injury. While trail running on the Blue Ridge Parkway in 2002 she fell, sustaining an injury that made it impossible to do any typical athletes fitness regimen.

This is frequently how we try something new; through a totally strange and scary experience that necessitates transformation, adaptation and stark, complete honesty. To her surprise, she loved it.
