Open Levels Vinyasa with Kristen Coyle

Vinyāsa: 'To place in a special way.'

Open Levels Vinyāsa merges traditional yoga practices with modern Vinyāsa sequencing. This class is designed to gradually awaken the body's intuitive movement intelligence, flexibility, and breath awareness through utilizing yoga asana (postures), functional mobility drills, dynamic flows, pranayama (yogic breathwork), and mantra (chanting). Open Levels, come as you are.

Kristen Coyle, E-RYT 500, is a devoted yoga practitioner, teacher, and somatic bodyworker. She began her journey with yoga 20 years ago, and has been dedicated to the yogic path ever since. Kristen has offered classes, workshops, and yoga teacher trainings at various locales around the world and finds great joy in sharing yoga in a way that is equal parts potent and accessible. She works with folks from all walks of life to assist them in finding comfort and joy within their bodies.

Kristen's classes integrate elements of Dharma (Mittra) Yoga, Astanga, and Vinyasa into dynamic alignment-based, psychically clarifying, lineage informed journeys. Breathing exercises, chanting, and meditation are woven into her offerings to assist in the transformation process that is yoga.

In 2018 she co-created Walking Dharma podcast with her partner where she dives into yogic philosophy and how to apply it here/now. She currently lives in Berkeley, CA and when she is not immersed in yoga, can be found hiking, immersing herself in sacred waters or sitting mindfully with a cup of jasmine tea watching the birds.
