Kristen’s journey as an artist, athlete, and yoga practitioner has shaped her approach to inner connection and personal growth. Through creativity, movement, and mindfulness, she explores and expresses the deeper layers of human experience, seamlessly integrating the dynamic flow of creativity and movement with the grounding stillness of meditation and reflection. With Flow & Stillness, Kristen combines her coaching expertise, creative practice, and yoga teaching to help others create lives filled with meaning and purpose. Based in Bend, Oregon, she draws inspiration from the outdoors, blending nature's rhythms into her work.

Kristen’s training and qualifications include a BA in Art History and a BFA in Visual Communication from Northern Arizona University, a Registered Yoga Teacher certification through Yoga Alliance, years of teaching yoga in Honolulu, and two decades of experience as a cycling coach. She has also pursued in-depth study in painting and drawing at the Honolulu Academy of Art School and other institutions. Her yoga journey includes advanced study and practice with Sri Dharma Mittra in New York City, a Wellness Counseling certification from Cornell University, and a Yoga Nidra teacher certification and mentorship with Tanis Fishman.
