About Kim (Bio)
Kim has been physically active all of her life and began her teaching career as a fitness and aerobics instructor in 1992. She has been actively involved in the field of transformational growth for 12 years and as a student of life, Kim embraces the concept of “wisdom through experience”. As her life evolved with transformational work and fitness, she found the practice of yoga to be the perfect combination of bringing the mind, body and spirit together. She continues her work of transformation using the body as a guide: physically, emotionally and energetically. She began formally practicing, studying and teaching yoga during the winter of 1999 while living in Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico. Returning to her hometown in Idaho she continued teaching while her self study grew. In 2003 she completed a Yoga Teacher Training in South Beach, Florida with Synergy Center for Yoga & the Healing Arts receiving her certification under a Yoga Alliance Registered School. Her studies include Iyengar, Ashtanga, Bikram and Sivananda. While she has studied with some note worthy teachers, she continues to believe that her greatest teachers are her students.
Kim blends together the various styles of yoga she has studied along with her personal experiences to bring to life her own eclectic style of yoga; ones own body, the rhythm of the breath and adaptation are the foundation for a well rounded class accessible to all levels of yoga practice. She has been teaching full time since October 2004.
Kim has a Bachelor of Arts in the Social Sciences from Boise State University. Her daughter Erika lives in Seattle, Washington and her son Dallas lives in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii with his girlfriend Natalie. |
