Kris D'Amico

Kris D'Amico is a former fire fighter who began practicing yoga in 1998 to relieve stress and stretch on a deeper level. Once she discovered the many health benefits, she felt called to share it with others. In 2000 she began her journey in the beautiful, majestic Santa Barbara Mountains at the White Lotus Foundation, fully immersed in their Vinyasa teacher training program and went on to do their advanced teacher training later that same year. Continuing her quest in 2001, she completed the 500 hour Bikram Yoga teacher certification and has been teaching ever since.

She has enjoyed teaching in many cities throughout the United States and Mexico. Kris has a diverse yoga background having studied and practiced Bikram, Vinyasa, Power, Jivamukti, Baptiste, Yin and Inyengar styles. She has additional trainings from Baron Baptiste, Sharon Gannon of Jivamukti, Yin and the Iyengar Institute. She has attended and taught workshops and is inspired to learn and grow her own personal practice, keeping her classes fresh, passionate and creative. Kris is also a Certified Nutritional Counselor as well as a Certified Crystal Healer.

She feels most alive when empowering others to be at their best. When she's not on her yoga mat, she's out riding her bike or hiking in the forest.
