Yoga is So Much Bigger Than Fancy Poses
Kindred Yoga Owner, Christa Stebbing, started her teaching journey in a hot yoga studio where the emphasis was very much about stretching further, pushing the body harder, and achieving fancy poses.
This approach was great in her 20s, but as years went on she realized that while she had a toned body, she didn’t actually FEEL healthy. She suffered from digestion issues, menstrual dysregulation, and skin issues. After years of practice, she still couldn’t connect with the deep sense of calm she knew was possible through yoga.
In 2013 she went to the Himalayan Institute for a 10-Day training, and it changed everything. She experienced a more mindful pace of yoga, breath work, and relaxation practices that almost immediately brought her the deep peace and ease she had been searching for. By the end of the 10 Days, her digestion began to improve. Soon after, her skin began to clear and her menstrual cycle regulated.
Kindred Yoga’s unique style is drawn from Christa’s training at the Himalayan Institute, specialized training in Anatomy and Physiology, continual exploration of mind-body-spirit techniques, and ongoing mentorship from an experienced Physical Therapist (who also trains all Kindred Yoga Certified Teachers).
Kindred Yoga is on a mission to help people of all ages and abilities access the deeper benefits of yoga - going beyond fancy poses and flows to bring the body, mind, and spirit into balance.
