One of my favorite aspects of winter is fuzzy socks and sweaters because they allow for full sliding ability. Ever since Amsterdam, I've had this nagging intrusive knot of tissue in my right adductors that's starting to affect my QLs (and let's be real, my whole body and how it moves). Feeling especially grateful for Northern Yoga Center this morning for having space for me to flail around and stretch and move in a way that felt intuitive and nourishing.

Happy hump day, friends! I'm not a huge fan of getting out of bed early, but I *love* being awake at an early hour. Attempting to embody balance between my love of sleeping and wakefulness over here with the sunrise. I'd love to have you basking in this light with me every Wednesday and Friday morning, 7am, at Northern Yoga Center for an all-levels flow. Leave a comment/send a message and I can tell you all about this new space. 🎉🙌🤗

When I first started doing bodywork, I stopped practicing arm balances - I didn't want to wear out my hands/wrists/shoulders/etc/etc (aka I was scared of injuring myself). I'm starting to slip them back into my practice, to spend time paying attention to my forearms and elbows and chest, and to once again take delight in flight.

Feeling fortunate that I get to practice in the brand new Northern Yoga Center space and that I got to revisit a reimagined The Lab - Yoga Chicago where - luckily - I got some hang time with the crows.

This summer/fall, I've been slightly obsessed with the idea/near-game of 'finding your feet.' My students and I have played with this by balancing thru so many pairings of hands, feet, and knees. Dancer's Pose has been a new favorite for finding the feet and trying to notice how they're pressing into/away from the ground. What are y'all obsessed with practicing/teaching this season?

I'm baaaaack! And so happy about my fall teaching schedule. Didja know that new bouldering space has a gym/yoga studio? If you're looking to take a class with me, this is the place to go! DM me and I can tell you all about it. 💞

Kristy’s back! Come catch class with her every Sunday at either 10:30am or 12pm at TCB. Feelin’ like the tortoise? Come to Static Flow and move extra slow. Feelin’ like the hare? Come to Dynamic Flow and get super energized as you move good and quick! 📷:

Gumption: shrewd or spirited initiative and resourcefulness; my nickname at Chef Camp this year. 💪💪

How has it already been a week since we all feasted and played together! I'd been looking forward to last weekend all summer and hot dang friends, it was just as rejuvenating and inspiring as I remembered it to be. (Only one food-ish pic included, but I will talk all about chef camp food if you so desire - send me a PM!)

Cheers to good food and drink shared with new friends. Thanks for having me, Chef Camp! xoxo

I've been trying to soak up these last weeks of summer by moving my body a lot, spending time in times, walking, running, biking, etc. How are y'all spending these dog days of summer? Want to come move with me?

Notable and time-sensitive August events as follows:

*Yoga in the Park, Sunday August 19, Hampden Park​, 10:30am, FREE - the last one I'll be teaching this season!

*August will be my last month teaching at Yoga Sol. Check out my updated teaching schedule at kristyleehanson.com/schedule and come take a class with me!

A lil teaser of some videos I've been working on this summer, featuring so much movement+flailling+playing. It's been so fun to explore the 'why' behind aspects of postures in a rather methodical way and learn how to use a fancy camera (and then attempt to marry these things together/not to mention living out my mime dreams). What have y'all been up to this summer?

{also, parts of vid sped up 3x)

What a treat to start the day with outdoor yoga, then coffee from these fine folks before teaching a mobility class at Vertical Endeavors.

You can find me in this neighborhood every Sunday leading the following:

10:30 Vinyasa, Hampden Park (free!)
12pm Recover: Mobility, inside Twin Cities Bouldering

See y'all there, yeah?

Yesterday, I took this little lady (myself and my massage chair) on a stroll on over to MPR for my first day as their resident massage therapist [and it was so fun]. Could you use some massage in your life? Shoot me a message! Let's chat. 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️
