Kristy brings her infectious humor and love of Yoga to each of her classes. A mother of two wonderful kids, 21 and 8, Kristy decided against re-entering the “rat race” after the birth of her daughter and instead chose to spend her days teaching what she loves. Her classes are an uplifting blend incorporating movement, static postures, breathing techniques and meditation for stress reduction. Kristy also offers classes to people living with Multiple Sclerosis thru the MSF. She is currently studying to complete her 1200 hr Therapeutic Yoga certification with JJ Gormley-Etchells, (a 5-year student of TKV and Kausthub Desikachar). A certified yoga instructor registered with Yoga Alliance, Kristy opened The Barefoot Yoga Studio in hopes of offering the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of yoga to everyone who wishes to experience it.

Kayla started practicing yoga five years ago as a form of relief from years of gymnastics and day to day stresses at work as a Rehab Tech at the Twin Cities Hospital. Wanting to help others through holistic means she became a certified yoga instructor in 2007. Kayla is a humorous and passionate teacher with a lot of energy. She incorporates Iyengar’s style of prop usage, focus on alignment, and modifications with enough freedom for students to have an individual pace. Her background as an athlete and Rehab Tech. has given her the ability to use her personality and understanding of the human body to let students find their own strength, grace and peace in her class. We are very excited she is starting this fresh path with us as our newest instructor.
