Krista Holstein, RYT200, was raised in a community that embraced yoga philosophy. From a young age, she was a student of meditation, breathwork, and the physical practice of yoga. As an adult, Krista began running as a form of both exercise and meditation. She realized that yoga was a natural complement to running; both practices connect mind, body, and breath. Krista began to incorporate a more regular yoga practice into her life, and it noticeably enhanced her physical and mental well-being. She recognized the benefits of yoga and wanted to help others experience the mind-body connection that occurs on the mat. She decided to become a yoga instructor in 2021 and was fortunate to find Loretta Jo Schlatzer at Yoga-Mojo to guide her through the next steps in her yoga journey.

Krista is an academic, a researcher, and an educator. She holds a doctorate in mathematics education and writes curricula for a non-profit company. As a lifelong learner, she knows that there is always room to grow and always more to learn. She understands that yoga is a practice and strives to continually grow, mentally and physically. Moreover, she works to ensure that her classes are evidence-based. In Krista’s yoga class, you will have the opportunity to meditate, connect your breath to your movements, work on alignment, build strength, stretch, and find relaxation and stillness.
