Kristi is a small town farm girl with a love for horses, reading, cooking, baking, learning and organizing.  She is a very busy wife and mom to four beautiful children and is very passionate about family, fitness and nutrition.  Kristi enjoys physical activity and portraying the importance of living a healthy, balanced lifestyle to her children.

Kristi was always an active child growing up participating in numerous teams sports and activities such as horseback riding, volleyball and curling to name a few.  Her fitness journey began in 2008 after the birth of her first daughter.  Starting out with home workout programs, she eventually began to branch out and join a gym to attend group fitness classes.  She found a love and passion for the environment created in these group fitness classes and loved the variety of classes available.  Kristi took one Buti Yoga class and fell in love with the practice!  After attending classes for four years and working on her own personal practice, she was ready to share this passion to students and became certified.  .  New to teaching, Kristi completed her 200 hr RYT in February 2017 and began teaching Buti Yoga classes after certification in January.  She jumped in with both feet and found her style, passion, and flair as a yoga instructor.  Kristi loves that fitness is a lifetime of learning, observing, teaching, and gaining more experience through different certifications, courses and workshops.  She has since completed Barre Level 1&2 training at Barre Body Studio as well as Aerial Yoga Teacher training.  Barre has ignited a new fire within her as an instructor and she absolutely loves to teach various styles of this class!

Kristi is very energetic, has a big heart, and loves to help people.  Her yoga journey has opened her up in ways she never thought possible.  There is nothing greater than the bond, connection, empowerment, and sisterhood that are created each and every time you step on your mat.  She is very excited to have found her path and to continue a life long journey with both her own yoga practice and those of her student’s.

When attending one of Kristi’s classes, be prepared for a high energy, positive and encouraging experience with a spirit of playfulness and creative sequencing.  Kristi strives to offer a judgment-free atmosphere that provides students with a comfortable environment where they can build confidence, strength, power, and flexibility.  After stepping off the mat, her hope is that you feel refreshed, nourished, and balanced by nurturing mind, body & soul.
