Born in San Francisco, Krissa has a Filipino mother, Scottish father, and grew up in the Philippines, Singapore and Hong Kong. She also lived in London for seven years, St Lucia in the Caribbean for six months, Norway for seven years and most recently Vancouver for two years. She has also travelled to thirty different countries so far. This multi-cultural and international experience sets Krissa apart, as she seamlessly weaves into her classes the threads of a thousand different perspectives from all over the world. From PURE Yoga in Hong Kong to Indaba Yoga and TriYoga in London, to The BodyHoliday in St Lucia, The Dharma Temple in Vancouver, and Yoga Flow in San Francisco… Every teacher, every student, every studio she has encountered has left an imprint. Krissa´s classes are truly a mosaic of her rich and colourful life so far.

 

Krissa graduated from her 200hr immersive Dharma Yoga Life of a Yogi (DY LOAY) teacher training in 2011, and completed her 500hr advanced training in 2017. Both of these were held at the Dharma Yoga Center in New York, where she was able to practice with and learn directly from Sri Dharma Mittra, a world-renowned and living yoga legend. Dharma Yoga continues to form the structure and backbone of her practice and teachings… It is the life-giving, expansive and creative force of the inhale…

 

If Dharma Yoga is the inhale, then Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Spiritual Circles and Ceremonies are the exhale… Since becoming a mother, Krissa has spent the last few years deep diving and specialising in these complimentary practices that all together create the formula for a life-long Maha Sadhana (Great Practice). On the mat and most importantly: off the mat.

 

Choosing to offer Dharma Yoga inspired and supported by Feminine Wisdom, Restorative, Nidra & Ceremony has allowed her to draw a full and interconnected circle of practices. One that allows her to meet you where you are - whatever season of life you are in.
