She has many years of experience with specialty eating programs including Ayurveda, Gluten free, Vegan, Vegetarian, Weight Loss. Crystal enrolled in her first 200 Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in 2009 through the Himalayan Institute. After feeling the many emotional, spiritual and physical benefits that Yoga and Meditation brought to her daily life, she had a strong desire to continue to learn and share with others. Crystal has now completed a second 230YTT, 540YTT, Ayurveda Yoga Specialist Certification and Chair Yoga Certification. She is grateful to have had in-depth study-training opportunities with Indu Arora, Sarah Powers, Lauren Walker, Rod Stryker and many others from the Himalayan Institute and Kripalu for Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga, Mudra, Energy Medicine Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Yoga Philosophy and Meditation. Crystal shares from her heart as she invites her students to pause, connect, look inside and feel what is happening in the present moment (on and off the mat). Her classes are rooted in traditional Hatha Yoga as she stays true to her lineage of Swami Rami (founder of the Himalayan Institute) and teachings of Indu Arora (International Ayurveda and Yoga). Crystal’s classes often include chanting, mudras, pranayama, and teachings from the ancient Yoga Veda texts. Crystal holds sacred that which Indu Arora has taught, “Yoga is a work IN, not a workout”. Crystal has had the privilege of studying with Dr. Andrew Weil (Integrative Medicine) on several occasions. She truly enjoys giving one on one cooking lessons in the privacy of the client’s home and also teaching small group sessions in her home kitchen. Many have chosen to schedule a group cooking session to celebrate birthdays and other special events. Crystal is honored to teach and share from all of her training, modalities and life experiences respecting an integrative approach. Crystal believes that we are ALL teachers and we are ALL students.
