Yoga & Relaxation Techniques with Kristina Gauthier

The art of practicing yoga helps in controlling an individual's mind, body and soul. It brings together physical and mental disciplines to achieve a peaceful body and mind; it helps manage stress and anxiety and keeps you relaxing.

Kristina has been a certified Hatha, Yin & Restorative Yoga Teacher since 2014 and before that she had been in love with yoga for over a decade. She found yoga after her family doctor had recommended that she try a yoga class to help her with some stress she was continuously experiencing. After one class she wanted more and her journey began there.

Kristina's practice has evolved over the years as she continues to learn & grow. Since completing her 200+ hours in 2014 she continues her studies with various yoga courses and teaching. Through the pandemic the universe aligned and Lotus Loft was born. Lotus Loft is located downtown Port Perry and is offering a variety of yoga classes, energy healing & meditation workshops.
