What Can Coach Kim Do For You?

Kim is known for her warm and encouraging approach and thoughtful perspective on sequencing and creating a sacred space for each individual.  Kim is known for incorporating her diverse fitness knowledge into each class and building strong connections with her students. When you attend her classes and private lessons you will receive a well-rounded fitness experience and leave feeling grounded and more connected to your body.  

Although Kim has have been practicing yoga for a number of years, she has recently fallen in love with practicing it and find myself looking forward to the next time I can practice.  Through yoga, she has become more aware of my body and my mind. Some days she may be able to do a balance pose (or any pose for that matter) perfectly.  She keeps coming back to mat, because she knows that she is building self acceptance, strength, flexibility and resilience each and every time.
