Kris Wade, instructor

RYT 200 - Kris was first drawn to yoga at the age of 16, as a way to heal trauma and chronic illness. She was originally studied traditional Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, and was immediately drawn to the connection of breath and movement as a way to release trauma patterns and pain. She carried this practice with her through many decades of life, until she felt drawn to teach and obtained her 200 RYT certification from Zen Yoga studio in Clintonville in 2022. 

Kris recently made the leap to exit corporate life, where she worked as a Director at a large corporation, so she could teach Yoga and practice energy healing full time. In addition to teaching yoga, Kris is an advanced Reiki Practitioner, receiving her advanced Usui Reiki certificate from The Reiki Center in Grandview, OH in 2021. She is an avid meditator, loves to lead guided imagery sessions, is an amateur sound healer, and is a gardener and artist in her spare time. She has to pinch herself from time to time because she is so excited to teach and hold space for others! She looks forward to obtaining a certification in Somatic healing shortly.

Kris offers a weekly Strength & Balance class on Monday mornings and Gentle Restore on Sunday mornings.
