About Me 
Krista brings to her yoga practice the mind-body awareness she learned starting at the age of 2 as a competitive gymnast and, later, studying dance. Her serious study of yoga began following the onset of fibromyalgia as a way of dealing with pain while finding peace and reconnecting with her core self and with others. Krista is a Registered Yoga Teacher, having completed the mentor. Her classes reflect this tradition, along with a focus on alignment,
energy, and meditation, based on Hatha yoga. In her personal practice,
Krista has also studied Kundalini, Anusara, and Iyengar yoga, as well as
kirtan.
Krista has taught yoga in Japan, DC, Virginia and Ohio. She has studied
with Cyndi Lee, Dean Lerner, Jai Uttal, and Sonia Sumar, and is a
certified practitioner of Yoga for the Special Child(R). Krista's
classes and private instruction offer the benefits of yoga to all
ability levels, from experienced yogis and yoginis to beginners. Her
background in social work, along with her personal experience using yoga
to overcome physical pain, gives her keen insight into the special needs
of those with disabilities. Krista is an inspiring teacher who's
serious about yoga and light on life. One day Krista hopes to have her own yoga studio in town, a green yoga retreat in the country, and her own homestead where she will grow all of the veggies, fruit and nuts for her family. Right now, Krista is a part time yoga teacher and full time mom to her toddler Willow Prana and newborn baby Nyima. Written by Husband Christopher Zember
