Kristina Ahern, owner and director of Santosha Springs Yoga, has been teaching yoga in the tradition of T. Krishnamacharya and T.K.V. Desikachar for nearly 2 decades.  This holistic approach to the teaching of yoga emphasizes practices that fit individual capabilities and goals in a step-by-step manner. In honoring and respecting each person, a sense of self-empowerment in relationship to one’s well-being is established over time.

​

This accessible approach to health and healing resonates with Kristina, as she believes that each person is unique and has the ability tap into their inner wisdom and potential to improve the quality of their life.
