Mission Statement
We invite you to tap into the wisdom of the body and enhance your overall well-being through movement, breathwork, journaling, and other mindful practices. We hold the space for you to harness your creativity and resilience in order to cultivate self-compassion and embrace all that this life has to offer. Core Values
Compassion - We meet you where you are and invite you to be gentle with your practice. Integrity - We honor the teachings and practices that are meant to connect our body, mind, and spirit to ensure we practice safely and respectfully. Gratitude - We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to teach and learn from every student. "The owl is a master of flight and adaptation. He integrates intelligence, power, grace, and beauty. He is acutely aware and adaptive. He routinely varies his behavior and defensive strategies to adjust to changing conditions. He is flexible in his feeding habits and nest-building choices. He varies his territories to fit food supplies and population densities. His vision and hearing are outstanding. In this, the owl makes a perfect model for mastery. Owls have much to teach us about living in a conflicted and ever-changing world. We would be wise to attend to them." ~Frank Rivers, The Way of the Owl |

Kristy Harvey
Kristy Harvey has over 14 years of experience as a movement educator, writer, and public speaker on topics of mindfulness, work - life balance, and living vibrantly. Her book, Mindfulness On the Move, gives suggestions on how to find stillness through movement. She is a Licensed Brown Belt Nia Instructor, an E-RYT500 Yoga Instructor and Trainer, Thai Yoga Bodywork Trainer, and owner of Wise Owl School of Yoga. She offers 200, 300, and 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings and Continuing Education courses for Yoga Teachers.
Kristy is the former Administrative Director of the Mindfulness Center at the University of Virginia. In 2010, she developed and implemented a clinical trial at the University of Virginia Cancer Center to study the effect of the Nia Technique among women treated for breast cancer. The study is currently in review for publication in a medical journal. In 2011, she started a Restorative Yoga program for breast cancer survivors and caregivers at the UVA School of Nursing. Both of these programs are still ongoing.
In 2016, Kristy founded the Wise Owl School of Yoga and began offering 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings. Since then, she has certified over 50 new yoga teachers. Through generous donations to the Wise Owl School of Yoga's Pay It Forward Fund, Kristy has been able to grant partial and full scholarships to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to assist in their completion of a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Certification. This supports the mission of Wise Owl Wellness to bring more diverse yoga teachers to the world and "change the face" of yoga.
In 2020, Kristy ventured into teaching online with the membership based Wise Owl Wellness LIVE group on Facebook. There she livestreams classes weekly in Nia, Yoga, Meditation, and more. In January 2021, Kristy will launch her first 300 Hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training: The Way of the Owl. Kristy has helped hundreds of people learn new ways to find happiness at work and at home. You can find her teaching yoga, leading retreats, and dancing through life. She currently lives in Tucson, AZ.
