Kristina Aitchison
All About Kris
Yin Yoga, Yoga Therapy and Private Health Coaching
Background
Yoga and Meditation have helped me remain calm in a crazy world and transformed my life in ways I could not have imagined!
It taught me tools of self-acceptance, positivity and helped me find purpose and meaning in my life.
I believe we all need Yoga and Meditation because life just isn't easy!
My intention as a teacher is to help students acquire awareness of the self and work towards strengthening the body, calming the mind, opening the heart and cultivating balance in the face of life’s challenges, to find deeper access to one’s joy and potential.
My passion lies in meditation, where I learnt to develop deep self-enquiry, self-acceptance and stillness and aim to incorporate this into my teachings to others.
I have worked on many retreats, ranging from Mindfulness Meditation to Detox and Health.
I aim to balance the body and mind with gentle but strengthening asana, pranayama and meditation practice as a way to heal, manage stress and combat lifestyle illnesses, bringing oneself back to their natural vitality.
I am trained in Pilates and provide a holistic approach to Personal Training, as well as Nutritional Advice based on Western and Eastern philosophies.
I have a degree and post graduate diploma in Psychology, to enhance my Yoga Teaching and am currently finishing a Masters degree in order to become a registered Psychologist.
I have a passion for the ocean and love to free-dive and connect to nature.

What others are saying
"Kristina helped me learn to meditate, connect to myself and feel good in my body again. The practice we developed managed my Insomnia and stress levels and as a result I lost weight, gained energy and felt alive again! My needs were met and I felt really understood. I can't imagine what I would have done without her!"
