I arrived at my first retreat with Kristin, in Mexico, knowing no one. She immediately helped me feel at home and created an environment that "held" the group and each person. She intuitively roomed me with kindred folks with whom I hit it off. For those who wanted to explore the area, Kristin shared treasures like a jungle path that led to a long, stunning, nearly empty beach. Kristin is one of the best teachers I've encountered in my decades of practice. She offers meaningful yogic teachings, humor, and enough silence to savor one's own internal experience. After that magical week in Mexico, I wanted more! A few months later, when I joined Kristin on Mt. Shasta, in Northern California, she had once again chosen a gorgeous setting, invited lovely people, and a offered a full palette of ritual, yoga, relaxation, pampering, and adventure. I can't wait to see what amazing locations and experiences Kristin offers next.
