KIRSTEN ADAMS

Therapeutic Yoga, Kids Yoga

Yoga has been transforming Kirsten's life for 16 years. A back injury initially brought her to the physical practice of yoga, and the immediate benefits she enjoyed led to a progressively deeper involvement. In 2005 she began taking Restorative Yoga classes at  Individualist Yoga and was astounded by the therapeutic benefits she experienced from this gentle and deeply relaxing style.

In 2009 Kirsten's completed the Teacher Training RYT 200-hour program at Yoga Synthesis in Ramsey, NJ, during which she developed a deep interest in the therapeutic benefits of yoga.  After taking specialized certification in Restorative Yoga at Masala Yoga, Kirsten completed a mentoring program in Restorative Yoga at Individualist Yoga and started teaching in the late Fall/Early Winter 2009.    

As a mother, Kirsten has observed many positive benefits her children have gained from the practice of Kids Yoga.   This has lead to a second area of specialization by completing the Kids Yoga Teacher Training program at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock NJ.   Kirsten hopes to expand the childrens'  classes at Individualist Yoga to encompass several age groups from toddlers to teens.
