What to expect from Kristen's classes:

If you want to try acro yoga but just don't think it's for you, I'd love to have you at one of my classes. I also teach privates if you would like to try it without the pressure of a whole class. I am based in Santa Cruz, CA and teaching classes and workshops throughout the county and Monterey.

Kristen's BIO:

I started my acro yoga journey in Santa Cruz occasionally taking classes while I was working full time as a caregiver for people with disabilities. I loved it so much that I started attending regularly, helping with demos, and teaching friends and family. That's when I knew I wanted to make it official and become certified (and also that I was obsessed with acro ;)) I trained with the SuperHeroCircusAcademy because why not be a super hero while you do everything! Also the SuperHeroCircusAcademy has a focus on social justice which appealed to my caregiving background. I like to hold spaces for people that feel accessible, non-intimidating, and focus on fun. I like to work the basics and get creative. I think that everyone can get involved with acro yoga in some way or other and like to make sure that people who are interested get a chance to try it and see how much of a super hero they can be!

​

Kristen's Post Course Project:

For my post course project, I did three different things. I started with a series of interviews with people from the community who are under-represented in acro yoga. I wanted to see what I could do as teacher to make the classes work for them. How to create spaces that they would feel welcomed into and safe. Then I did a series of one on one private classes for people with disabilities who otherwise would have a difficult time in a regular class setting. My final piece was to combine the two and hold a brave spaces workshop for all people. I invited the people I had interviewed and the one person from the private class who was interested in a class setting at well. I also opened it up to the general public, advertised it at the diversity center, and held it at the resource center for non-violence to make it as inclusive as possible. Im looking forward to teaching more privates for those who request them and having more inclusive workshops.
