"This is the most comprehensive yoga/wellness site ever. I’ve absolutely loved every training I’ve taken and I’ve taken almost all Kristy has to offer. I’ve met the most interesting and amazing people through the zoom option. Kristy is an amazing and accomplished instructor and I was so impressed that I’ve come to Tucson to visit and take classes all the way from Maine."~Lisa Schaefer, Yoga Student and Graduate of the 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program
"I am excited to have joined your 3 month membership! I am completely in awe of the multitude of offerings!! Kristy, you are quite simply amazing and a great role model for me!! 💖"~Member of Wise Owl Wellness LIVE Studio "You spoke to my soul. I'm so thankful for your training." ~Graduate of 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training "If anyone reads this and hasn't yet purchased a membership I can't tell you how diverse the offerings are and what a great deal this is to have Kristy and her guest teachers on-demand at almost any time. Don't hesitate to purchase. So far I've participated in units including NIA, Breathwork, Yoga, Ball exercises, Meditations and Writing. 😍💃🙏"~Member of Wise Owl Wellness LIVE Studio 
"Kristy provides lots of materials and resources during and after the training. Also, she provides us with support group that we can post questions or information that we have. I would definitely take a training from her again. Kristy is not only knowledgeable, but provides a great learning environment for her students/teachers."--Chair Yoga Training Participant
"This class is exactly what I needed to confidently teach chair yoga to my students. Kristy is a great teacher. She answered all my questions and gave great tips and feedback."--Chair Yoga Training Participant "Excellent course. Highly recommend. I hope to take additional courses with Kristy in the future."--Continuing Education Course Participant 
"I thoroughly enjoyed attending the Nia class lead by Kristy. It is easy to go to an exercise class when you are feeling happy and perky. But there are days that I have to make myself go even though I’m tired or stressed out. That’s because I’ve come to know that moving my body will revitalize me both physically and mentally. Kristy is a fantastic leader. She makes everyone feel welcome. She does an excellent job explaining the moves and always gets us moving. I also like her music selections and the way she incorporates imagery into the routines. Often class will end with a spontaneous round of applause because we have all had so much fun and we feel so good." --Nia Participant
Being invited into movement in a joyful way brought my body alive and my spirit alive.--Lynn O'Neill, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Duke University I felt wonderful after my first Nia class! It didn?t matter that I?m never the most coordinated person in the room, and it was the first time I?ve ever exercised without looking at the clock, counting the minutes until I can stop. In fact, I was sorry when it was time for the class to end.--Natalie May, PhD, Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Virginia It feels great to get back to my body again.--Nia Student Kristy is a wonderful instructor. I wish it was 3 times a week!! I also enjoy meeting new people and just having a good workout!--Nia Student 
I have learned some new relaxation positions.--Restorative Yoga Student
Kristy is an excellent instructor. She is very helpful and explains everything.--Restorative Yoga Student I loved that it [Nia] was a group experience but that there was room for individual expression. Loved the 'jazz hands'!--Rachel Levine, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University I thoroughly enjoyed my first NIA class. It offers freedom to move in your own way - exercise is fun again.--Julie Haizlip, MD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, University of Virginia I really enjoy Nia and my instructor. My doctor asked me to stay with Nia. My blood pressure has improved 90%! Kristy, thanks a lot for all your hard work.--Nia Student These classes are the best. Kristy is an excellent teacher--very engaging, down to earth & welcoming. Nia has helped me relax after stressful days at work. The classes have also taught me how to listen to my body and take care of my body. Coming to the Nia classes is the best decision I have made. I am so thankful for these classes and for Kristy.--Nia Student The invite was wonderful! Thank you! Kristy, your voice is calming, relaxing, and energizing all at the same time. Thanks for the joy!--Nia Student 
Kristy is a good communicator. She makes you feel at ease.--Nia Student
I feel better when I am participating in Nia. I believe my immune system is stronger when I do Nia on a regular basis.--Nia Student Kristy is a great, kind instructor. I am shy about physical movement and she was unfailingly encouraging and enthusiastic. It feels good to be moving in a fun way.--Nia Student "What a pleasure to be in your class! I count it an honor to be amongst yourself and this sisterhood of warriors – such beauty, grace and strength. I can’t wait to participate twice weekly once the 12 week clinical trial period is completed. Who knew exercising could be such a delight?! Your time, dedication and wisdom are greatly appreciated!" --Nia Breast Cancer Study Participant "After another session last evening, I just wanted to convey to you how wonderful the NIA classes are. They have inspired me to really look at where I am in life and to finally join a gym to further move in a positive direction with respect to my health and wellbeing. I love the movement and inspiration that these classes bring at a particularly vulnerable time in the post diagnosis/treatment of breast cancer. My thanks to you for pushing this and hopefully other new innovative ways to assist in the totally healing of breast cancer survivors." --Nia Breast Cancer Study Participant "I thoroughly enjoy attending Nia class lead by Kristy. It is easy to go to an exercise class when you are feeling happy and perky. But there are days that I have to say to myself, “You’ve got to go to Nia!” even though I’m tired or stressed out. That’s because I’ve come to know that Nia will revitalize me both physically and mentally. Kristy is a fantastic leader. She makes everyone feel welcome. She does an excellent job explaining the Nia moves and always has us doing routines that really get us moving. I also like her music selections and the way she incorporates imagery into the routines. Often class will end with a spontaneous round of applause because we have all had so much fun and we feel so good." --Nia Breast Cancer Study Participant |

"Great training! Would highly recommend to others. I plant to explore additional trainings with Kristy! I liked the self pacing option which allowed me to complete the units as it fit into my schedule."~Graduate of Online 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
"Kristy - I love every class I have taken. I’m going for the Lifetime Membership tomorrow — my birthday present to myself. You are the best."~Member of Wise Owl Wellness LIVE Studio "This online YTT was truly a dream come true. I was nervous not having done a course of study of any kind for a quite some time. I recently turned 60 so never too late! I took Nia and yoga classes with Kristy back in ~2012 and had such fond memories of her. So I reached out to inquire about the program that was to begin within a week (!) Kristy was so encouraging. After sitting with it, it was clear that indeed I was to do this particular program with this particular teacher at this particular time. Gratitude for the clear guidance. Kristy is kind, supportive, flexible, and fun! I felt my brain was stimulated and my heart excited to learn! I had no idea that we would have lessons on such a wide variety of topics. I cannot express how delighted I am because I feel that this training was so extensive for a 200 hr training. I really loved the variety. Having references and resources to further our study in a topic of particular interest is wonderful. The material was presented with clarity while having online availability for questions was helpful. I particularly appreciated the focus on safety. The assignments were very helpful to support my learning. I feel it will be a lifelong endeavor to integrate all that I have been presented with. A blessing indeed. I am immensely grateful to Kristy for all that she offered."~Graduate of Online 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training 
I love Nia! It makes me feel good and it's fun. Kristy makes it easy and most importantly, FUN! It makes me happy. Great exercise.--Nia Student
I am amazed at how well Restorative Yoga works!--Restorative Yoga Student This program "Nia" is wonderful. I realy enjoy and I am always looking forward to the next time. It helps me loosen up and release stress. I had vertigo before I joined and I feel a lot better now. I think it helps a lot. Kristy, thank you so much! You are awesome! You really make it enjoyable every session!--Nia Student Great class! Love Kristy! Makes movement fun! I feel so much better afterwards.--Nia Student Fun! Great class! I am so happy to be dancing again!--Nia Student The online yoga classes are beyond awesome! I love the music, the tree and the mountains in the background. It's great hearing your voice and actually seeing you do the poses, this will really help at home when I'm alone. Especially, on days where I am needing to hear your sweet, calming voice as I do the poses, so I can focus more! I am getting to the point where I don't have to refer to the session sheets as much and more on the breaths and my body just knowing what to do, but I am so excited to watch these awesome videos!!!! Thank you, Kristy! You are such an amazing yoga instructor and gorgeous person inside and out. You make a huge difference in my life every week and for that, I am so grateful.--Private Yoga Therapy Client NIA exercise/technique is a perfect fit for me. I particularly like the mindfulness aspect of this technique. It fits with what I try to bring to my work every day, and to have it combined with making me fit is a win/win.--Nia Student 
Kristy is awesome! She has such passion and enthusiasm for Nia. It's contagious!--Nia Student
When I first went to Kristy’s class I was apprehensive ,and concerned about my ability to participate. I began by being in the back row and hoping I wasn’t being too disruptive by messing up the dance routine. Not only do I have two left feet but also I’m hearing impaired. I soon realized I would learn easier by being in the front of the class. I often didn’t get the steps correctly but with Kristy’s accepting ,kindness I learned that it wasn’t a big deal. It was so great to have a teacher like Kristy from who I felt loved and accepted. I did get to enjoy Nia more and more even though I often was not perfect. Eventually that no longer mattered and I was having fun. Kristy is a gift for those of us who are not experienced dancers. I gained confidence, strength, balance and endurance. I miss the classes and I miss Kristy.--Belle, Nia Student Kristy is an inspirational teacher!--Nia Student I have found it [Nia] to be a stress reliever and energizing.--Nia Student Ms. Harvey has an easy-going, engaging manner which, I believe, lends itself to someone new to NIA being more open to hearing what she has to say.--Nia Student Nia has exposed me to a new way of thinking!--Nia Student [Nia] has helped me become more accepting of myself and happy with life.--Nia Student 
"I was in your dance of gratitude class yesterday afternoon and loved it. I also told someone at the front desk how much joy the class brought me and that I think they should definitely continue to offer it on a regular basis. Thank you so much for your beautiful spirit and mission. I also felt deeply moved by the final song of women's voices." --Nia Student, Dance of Gratitude at Miraval Resort
"Please know how much I truly value you as not only an amazing dance teacher, yoga teacher, but friend, guidance counselor, warrior princess, shamanic healer- the list goes on and on." -- Mellinda C. "I took your dance of gratitude class at Miraval yesterday. I absolutely loved your class. I can’t dance well and was worried that I wouldn’t be able to follow your routines in the class. But not only was I able to follow, I felt free and filled with gratitude. Thank you. I told the front desk that it was my favorite class at Miraval!" --Nia Student, Dance of Gratitude at Miraval Resort "I really enjoyed yoga nidra today. It was serendipitous meeting you."--Meditation Student, El Conquistador, A Hilton Resort, Tucson, AZ |
