KRISSY SHIELDS
Growing up a dancer and gymnast, Krissy has always been connected to her body. She first learned a sun salutation in a movement class during acting school. Out of pure necessity of a rapid moving mind she was introduced to Kundalini from a friend, which led her to a meditation practice and to various styles of yoga in Chicago. Her vinyasa style is a blend of her favorite teachers Dharma Mittra, David Andre and Will Dupry with attention on detail of alignment and building the fire
within to flow deep. She received her 200-hour teaching certification from Sonic in 2005 and is working on her 500 hr with Dharma Mittra this fall. Teaching is a pure gift and Krissy has given it right back to teaching children in the homeless shelter Women in Need in Brooklyn, as well as Rikers Prison. She currently teaches at Sonic Yoga, Namaste New York and Om Factory in New York City, as well as the organization Creative Seeds which brings yoga, art and theatre to distressed places all over the world..creative-seeds.org
