YOGA with PIPER

Kristine Piper

I am a lover of movement and have been teaching and practicing yoga for almost 15 years. I attended my first yoga teacher training a few months after taking my first yoga class in 2009.

I fell in love quickly with yoga as it offered presence and steadiness during my recovery from a major concussion.

Navigating chronic pain from my concussion informs my teaching - I teach in a way that guides you into working within your unique circumstances. I understand how important nervous system regulation is for healing and it is my main goal with the classes I share to help you find more ease in your approach to movement.
