Krista has a background in health and wellness, having worked in Ottawa as a Registered Massage therapist, Craniosacral Therapist and Birth Support Doula. Yoga has not only deepened her understanding of the mind-body connection but has been integral in her quest for a healthy, balanced life.
 
It was a cold, snowy winter ten years ago that brought Krista to Rama Lotus for her first Bikram yoga class. It was during that first class that she experienced a deep sense that she had "come home". Captivated by its ability to influence the mind through discipline and the physical practise of yoga, she immersed herself in practise and was certified as a Bikram Method Teacher by Bikram and Rajashree Choudhury in 2001. 
 
Krista is deeply grateful for her yoga practise that nourishes and sustains her for the ultimate practise in presence, caring for her two young children. Everyday life presenting an opportunity to expand the concepts of push and yield, doing and not-doing and control and surrender beyond the borders of the mat.
