Kristin Fiore – RYT 200
Kristin is a Yoga Alliance registered teacher and completed her 200 hr teacher certification at 7 Centers Yoga Arts in Sedona, AZ. She currently teaches at a variety of locations in Kalamazoo including Sangha Yoga, Awake and Aware Living Yoga, and Gazelle Sports.
Kristin's teaching is influenced by her many wonderful teachers including Sraddhasagar (Ruth Hartung), Melissa Spamer, Kirsten Lyon, Karina Ayn Mirsky, and Paul Fowler. Her interest and training also include studies in Thai Massage, Vipassana Meditation, Vedic Astrology, and Ayurveda - where food becomes medicine and one of the ways for a yogic practitioner to maintain balance.
Kristin teaches a blend of hatha and vinyasa flow yoga that is accessible to beginners and also challenging for more advanced practitioners. She is a mother of three and feels that the study of yoga is a foundational training for the body, mind, and spirit that brings balance and joy into our busy lives at any age. Kristin continues to find peace, truth, and connection through yoga, both as a teacher and a student, and she is passionate about sharing that experience with others.
Kristin continued her yogic journey in the summer of 2010 returning for a month to Sedona, AZ. This time she apprenticed in 7 Centers' Ayurvedic kitchen where she learned more about the healing properties of food and herbs. Kristin enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect with her teachers and spend some quiet time with the beautiful red earth. She is happy to be home again in Kalamazoo and teaching with a renewed spirit and deeper appreciation for the infinite wisdom of Yoga & Ayurveda.
Kristin graduated in February 2012 from the 6 month Thai Massage Diploma Program offered by the Chicago School of Thai Massage. She has learned so much in this program and is excited to see it transforming and deepening both her personal practice and her teaching. Look for elements of Ruesri Dat Ton and more hands-on adjustments in her classes. If you are interested in scheduling a thai yoga bodywork session, Kristin will be offering discounted rates for the next 6 months while she continues to study and refine her practice. Please contact her to schedule a 90 minute session or for more information.
Kristin also recently completed her first marathon in Grand Rapids, MI, which has inspired her new class Yoga for Athletes and also deepened her use of meditation and mantra over the long training miles. She is now training with the Borgess Run Camp for a half marathon in the spring and is looking forward to another marathon next fall. Keep checking the website regularly for more updates. Thanks to my students, teachers, family, and friends for their continued support on this journey of life, love, and yoga!
