Kristin is a Chicago girl living in the heart of Gold Coast, passionate about personal growth, resilience, and holistic well-being. She believes that a strong mindset and a healthy body go hand in hand, both requiring consistency, discipline, and the right tools to thrive. Just like training the body, the mind needs regular exercise-through self-discipline, positive habits, and intentional thought-to stay strong and adaptable. She advocates for a balanced lifestyle that nourishes both mental and physical health, emphasizing movement, mindful nutrition, and self-care as key components of overall wellness. Through motivation and life coaching, she empowers others to embrace change, overcome obstacles, and build the confidence to create their best lives-inside and out.

Halle discovered a love for yoga and mindful movement many years ago, following a period of grief and the stress of her career as a school social worker. Through her yoga practice, she learned that movement can be a powerful form of medicine, helping us process and release emotions, stress, and tension. In 2021, Halle earned her 200-hour Yoga Teacher, Mindfulness, and Social Emotional Learning certification through Breathe for Change. In June 2024, she completed her Yoga Sculpt certification and, most recently, finished an Advanced Teacher program in January 2025. Halle views her classes as moving meditation, where students can expect to focus on their breath, receive encouragement to listen to their bodies, and feel empowered to modify or adjust postures to suit their individual needs. Her classes are welcoming and accessible to all and are infused with a variety of music that inspires and lights her up! 

Setting an intention for my practice that I can bring with me and honor in my everyday life is what drew me into meditation and yoga. I am a certified 200-hr yoga instructor, and also a certified 100-hr meditation instructor. During my classes, you should expect to feel cared for, empowered, and challenged!Students can expect a class that emphasizes personal autonomy, silliness, and self-reflection. Let's explore together!

Shay is a Shaman, Yoga Therapist and Energy Facilitator. She has been teaching Yoga and Meditation for over 20 years working internationally in studios, hospitals, clinics and schools. Shay works intuitively and crafts her sessions around her background of philosophy and exploration of creative expression.  

I found yoga and Pilates through my background and connections in dance! I was looking for a way to dual train for my dancing and happened to fall in love with the practice. I got my 200 hr Yoga Alliance certification, 50 hr Sculpt certification, and Strength training certification through Core Power Yoga! I now teach Vinaysa Yoga and Yoga Sculpt classes at Core Power and Yoga Box! I'm currently getting my Pilates certification through Polestar Pilates and I am very excited to begin my teaching journey in Pilates too! I teach so I can offer people a time in their day where all they need to think about is themselves. A work day can be filled with stress and negativity, so I make my classes the opposite. The opportunity to have fun while also doing something great for your mind and body. My classes come from strength, power, and movement. I like to give my students moments to find awareness in their bodies so they can understand how their muscles are working in each movement/ exercise by giving them moments of pause and repetition! 

I fell in love with yoga and mindful practices after recovering from a surgery in 2017. Yoga helped me heal as well become more aware of holistic health. I received my 200hr RYT certification through the Yoga Alliance in August of 2019 and have been learning and growing ever since. In my class, you can expect moments of silliness and focuses on meditative practices. I hope you leave feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.

You can expect a challenging flow with longer holds focused on strength and alignment.
