Hello, I’m Kristin! I specialize in teaching children’s yoga in Spanish, offering a playful and unique way for kids to learn language through creative movement. My classes provide a nurturing environment where children can explore yoga while developing mindfulness and language skills. I blend gentle sequences with fun, interactive activities that foster both physical and language development.

Yoga entered my life through my mother during my teenage years, and it grew into a deeper passion as I studied yogic philosophy with my teacher, Poonam Gupta. I completed my 200-hour certification in 2010 through Kanyakumari Ayurveda & Yoga Wellness Center. Inspired by this experience, I also pursued a degree in philosophy at Indiana University Bloomington.

After graduation, I spent four years in Asia teaching English and coaching swimming, where I further explored mindfulness through Buddhist practices in Japan, Thailand, Nepal, and Laos. These experiences continue to inspire my teaching, especially in how I incorporate mindfulness into both yoga and my daily life.

In addition to children’s yoga, I teach high school Spanish, which deepens my understanding of how language and movement can complement each other in learning. I’m passionate about offering a holistic approach that supports both physical and cognitive growth for my students.

I’m registered with Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT 200 and YACEP, and I hold certifications in Prenatal Yoga and Children’s Yoga. I also offer private sessions, special events, and Continuing Education for yoga teachers.

The name Caterpillar Yoga reflects my belief in transformation—just as a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, yoga helps children transform through movement and self-awareness, one breath at a time.
