Karissa is a RYT 200 hour ashtanga, iyeanger, life power and trauma informed yoga instructor. She is also a certified life coach! Karissa fell in love with the practice of yoga by way of skiing injury and took it as a sign that the universe was telling her she needed to slow down and breathe. As a life long athlete she most resonates with an intense yet invigorating practice that makes her students feel empowered to tackle life with strength, tenacity, and resilience both on and off of their mat. She is passionate about the true healing power of yoga recognizing that a byproduct of the practice is the gift of coming home to oneself. She believes that yoga possesses the ability to save lives because she has seen how it has not only transformed hers, but countless others.
