Kristine started practicing yoga looking to provide balance to an overactive, busy life. Time on the mat allowed her to take her focus inward. Embracing as much of the teachings she could get her hands on, she knew she found her passion ~ a true seeker on a path. Twelve years later, she still is deeply driven by the many aspects of the practice and to embrace the next steps as they come.As a teacher, Kristine loves to share yoga and reiki and their teachings to all the other seekers out there. Some of the many teachers that influence her are: Jacqui Bonwell, Shiva Rea, Roberto Lim, Heidi MacVane, Danielle Toolan, and Sagel Urlacher.

Kristine is a graduate of the Sacred Seeds Yoga School and is also Yin Yoga and Restorative certified. As a Reiki healer, she offers energy work that can be often found woven into her classes. Kristine’s classes are energetic, fun and informative. All levels are welcomed.

Circe has been studying and working in the field of Holistic Health and Spirituality for 25 years after graduating from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 1998.

Her careful, practiced skill at releasing tension brought on by daily stressors, repetitive motion, holding patterns, pain, and trauma gradually unwinds accumulated layers of stuck, stagnant energy. She incorporates breathwork and vibrational medicine that can refresh and replenish tired muscles. Chronic issues can be treated with her methodical use of neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release; and soothed with hot stones, aromatherapy, or Reflexology.

Circe’s friendly and calm presence is focused on restoring balance and well-being. Her work as a Chaplain and Priestess has led her to practice Bereavement Bodywork: processing the physical and emotional impacts that grief has on the body, with gentleness and compassion. Etheric clearing and grounding, tending the soul, and elemental practices can be incorporated into a more magical session, upon request.

Anya Siviski is a Clairvoyant Medium and Reiki Master who began

communicating with Spirit as a child. She started honing her intuitive gift in 2017 by

working with mentors and giving intuitive readings to herself and friends and began her

intuitive work professionally in 2021. She works to guide, teach, and heal people with

the help from her Spirit Team and Wabanaki ancestors in her readings and energy

work.
