KRISSY KILGALLEN
VINYASA FACULTY
Krissy creates a safe space to explore, inhabit, and cultivate new qualities in ourselves and connections to others. Her classes emphasize continual returning, remembering and reawakening to the wisdom that is already present in all of us without grasping or striving.
The physical practice gives us an outlet to create not only space in the body, but to find expansion and steadiness in the mind. Having training in trauma-informed yoga and strong commitment to safe, accessible, and inclusive spaces, her classes aim to provide students with a taste of this liberation and support them in their journey through the consistency that the path of yoga can provide. You can expect a warm and playful guide, with an emphasis on balancing vigor, creativity and restorative release in her sequencing.
Krissy is earning her PhD in environmental psychology from Northeastern University, studying the interdependence of human-nature relationships and social-ecological systems. Her research has the goal of understanding how we can foster more connection and empathy between individuals and nonhuman beings in the natural world.
Outside of yoga you can find Krissy taking long meandering walks in nature and having equally long and meandering conversations about the universe with anyone who will listen.
