About Kristen
Kristen Townsend, M.S., was introduced to yoga as a competitive figure skater in 2002. She has been incredibly blessed with the opportunity to study yoga and it's deep roots, and to learn to teach from several high-level teachers, healers, scholars and innovators within the global yoga community, including Shiva Rea, Maria Garre, Shannon Paige, Daniel Odier, Christopher Tompkins, and Sonia Masocco.
Kristen's yoga teacher training has come through Shiva Rea's Samudra Global School for Living Yoga. In her Prana Flow®: Energetic Vinyasa classes, Kristen shares her experience in cultivating a sense of inner balance, clarity, strength and compassion, as well as practical physical strength and flexibility to serve the flow of life.
Time off the mat is dedicated to serving the shakti and raising the collective vibration by her "behind the scenes" assistance to Vinyasa pioneer and sacred activist Shiva Rea; utilizing her Master of Science degree in Environmental Biology by collaborating with researchers at the USDA Beltsville Bee Research Lab to study the amazing lives of honey bees; and teaching figure skating.
