My name is Kristi Pena. My journey with yoga is something I deeply cherish. I’ve always been active but when I began practicing yoga, my body instantly responded to it. I quickly realized that yoga is unique. It is an integration of mind, body, and soul like nothing else. When I began studying yoga to become an instructor, I had no idea about the root metaphysical and spiritual nature of yoga that I would come to fall head over heels in love with.

I graduated from my 200 hour yoga teacher training from The Raja Center in 2022 and I feel so passionate about the practice. I am also an Occupational Therapist and feel blessed to be learning more and more every day about the path of yoga and generally living a happy, healthy life. I am a lifelong learner and enjoy exploring the marriage between Eastern and Western philosophies when it comes to healing.

I am certified to teach vinyasa yoga as well as yin yoga and I am also a Reiki practitioner. Reiki has shown me the power we have to heal ourselves and heal each other. It is pure magic. These practices are my refuge and my safe place. It is so much more than cultivating physical health. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn and grow and share this incredible path with others.
