Meet our dirt-lovin’ desk angel, Kristin! She’s a sweet-souled yogi that farms her way to stress-relief. You’ll catch her in her prime at Black Finger Farm or at Tampa’s farmers markets as well as at our front desk on Thursday nights!
1. What do you love about yoga?
It’s a rough world out there sometimes. Yoga consistently teaches me to meet the day, even the hard ones, with a grateful heart, knowing that I have a strong body that moves, grooves, and loves.
2. How has yoga and meditation changed your life?
Yoga, meditation, and prayer encourage me to align with a purpose, to allow myself to have grace for myself and for others, to teach and to learn.
3. Why do you barter at Bella Prana?
In our life and in our practice we should always strive for the perfect balance of effort and ease. Effort and time at the desk is rewarded with ease on the mat (depending on how frequently I make it).
Do what you do with love in your heart and to the best of your ability, improvement comes only with practice.
4. What’s a passion of yours outside of the studio?
Farming! I currently am part owner and farmer at Waldenponics at Black Finger Farm. The land teaches me the same thing I learn on my mat. To grow, to be patient, to work hard, to rest, to nourish. At the farm, you’ll find Joe and I diggin’ dirt (dirt don’t hurt!), harvesting fresh, organic produce, and having a grand ol’ time flowin’ with the earth. Come say hello at the farm or one of the many Tampa Bay Farmers Markets we participate in!
