“When I first started teaching I had a class plan… And then as I got different clients every time, it became one of those things where I had to use my creativity and my knowledge, and I asked, ‘How are you feeling today? What are your injuries? Are there areas you would like to work on?’ And then after hearing whatever their feedback was, I created a class on the spot… "

Styles of Yoga

Gentle Yoga is practiced at a slower pace, the asanas (positions) are held longer, the body is well-supported, and the class is quieter and more meditative. Relaxation is developed through focus on the breath and various props may be used to support the body. Think of Gentle Yoga as a basic stretch class with meditation. Are you new to yoga, older, feel stiff or have other physical challenges? Gentle Yoga might be the perfect class for you.

Philosophy

Philosophy

Kimi cites a sense of fulfillment and purpose in serving others as her ultimate motivation to teach yoga. She knows that yoga can be much more than just another gym workout – it can be a lifestyle change that you take home with you. She emphasizes some of the moves that students can do at home on a regular basis. “I always just try and give tips,” she says. "’This is something you can do in bed. Just put your feet up against the wall.’ So I'm always trying to encourage them to bring their practice home, and it doesn't have to be a whole practice obviously, but just encouraging them to really listen to their bodies.”
