In Vinyasa Flow, the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next, focusing on “breath-synchronized movement,” and the smooth way that the poses flow seamlessly together. Restorative Flow is a luxurious yoga practice with movements that are slow, gentle and repetitive to create a class that is deeply nourishing. This is beneficial to balance a more active practice and to help decompress. Known for her warm and caring style, Krista is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), Thai Yoga Bodywork practitioner and Reiki Master.

B Yoga is Amazing!!

B Yoga is truly a sacred space where I am always happy to be. Everytime I leave I feel like I can breathe again. Thank you Krista for shining your light on us and sharing everything with an open heart and open mind!

 

My Personal Oasis!!!

B Yoga is my personal oasis from the tensions of every day life. Krista has created a wonderful yoga center, that reflects and encourages a sense of community. Not only does she offer a wonderful array of classes and workshops, but also gives so much more! I so appreciate the special events with guest speakers and teachers that help promote and support our health and awareness in body, mind and spirit.

Great Yoga, Great People, Great Times !!!

Great studio, great teachers, great yoga and great time! Coming here has inspired my yoga practice so much. It doesn’t matter if you are an absolute beginner or experienced, there is a class (or many) for you. Very friendly people who attend, which makes it that much more special! Thank you Krista and teachers for creating such a welcoming space and fabulous classes!

The BEST Yoga Classes

I was hesitant to take a yoga class in the begining,but it was the best thing I have ever done. I had tried many things for my back pain,and different yoga places. It has been almost 7 months of taking classes at B yoga Center and I have less back pain and just feel better all over. Krista and all the other teachers are so good at what they do. Just try it. You will be HAPPY you did.
