Our program combines body mechanics and intentional movement
to help you rebuild strength and confidence in your body.
Back pain and physical limitations change the way your body moves. Your body learns to compensate to protect your spine, but eventually, those same protective patterns cause more stiffness and frustration. Reclaim Your Body helps you recognize these habits, understand what triggers your back pain, and retrain your body to move with greater awareness, coordination, and control.


You feel stuck
You’ve tried generic core workouts and stretches, but your back still returns to familiar patterns of tension, weakness, or discomfort.

You don’t trust your body
Movement feels unpredictable. You hesitate before bending or lifting, unsure of what might trigger a flare-up or what is actually safe.

You are frustrated by the cycle
You are tired of managing one symptom at a time and want a sustainable way to rebuild mobility and trust in your spine.
Krista is a truly excellent teacher. She offers one-on-one guidance during class, explaining the benefits of each pose in a way that's both clear and encouraging. You really feel seen, supported, and cared for in her presence.
Krista supported me with journaling, breath practices, and mental rehearsal work to support the physical work. And just after a handful of sessions, things started shifting. I was becoming connected again.
I had severe back pain. We started out slow so I could begin to feel my body without the pain. At the end of the course, I was a completely different woman, I no longer felt helpless. I now feel capable and understand my body. And now, I don't even need private sessions, Krista teaches agency, not dependency.
I absolutely love The Yoga Shala! Krista has been incredibly supportive, helping me manage my back issues while guiding me as a beginner in yoga.
What I appreciate most is the nonjudgmental, supportive environment. I always feel encouraged, never pressured.
