Kristen Addicks

Kristen Addicks, (RYT 500/E-RYT 200) has embodied movement her entire life. Exploring and training in many forms of dance and yoga has given her a special combination of skills.  Her classes flow fluidly, focusing on alignment, working the body in a balanced way, and linking poses gracefully and intelligently. Her classes build strength, balance, and flexibility in the body; and a deeper sense of calm, peace, and stability in the mind.
