Words of kindness

“Kristen has been working with me through her unique blend of yoga and myofascial release/massage for several months. While deep yin poses have helped loosen my tight back, hips, and shoulders, her hands on is what has allowed for real breakthroughs. I remember her talking about this during a public yoga class and the light bulb went off - I couldn’t wait to get started. Her understanding of yoga and detailed anatomy, along with her massage training, allow her to really understand what has been holding me back - what regular yoga and stretching hasn’t been able to accomplish. I continue to improve with each session and recommend her highly.”

““Kristen has the gift of empathy and the capacity to design a practice that integrates mind and body. Her knowledge and caring is reflected in all of her classes. She is also a great RMT and her approach to the therapy amazing.””

“Kristen’s style of teaching yoga is an art form. She stays rooted in flow as she relates what is experienced on the mat with life off the mat. With a gentle spirit and assertive hand assists, Kristen has a balanced and inquisitive way of having her students dig deep in a compassionate sense.”

“Rockroot yoga and massage rocks. Kristen is a knowledgeable and creative yoga teacher. She designs creative and effective sequences for her classes which makes them enjoyable as well as challenging. Massage therapy and yoga are so complementary and Kristen’s massage studies and work have given her the ability to focus safely on specific areas - shoulders, lower back, hips- helping to build strength and flexibility. I have been participating in her online classes since the beginning of “COVID”. Her live classes provide a connection to the yoga world and help me maintain my contact with the mat in a period when it is not necessarily comfortable to be practicing with others. I highly recommend her live classes and her YouTube channel. And it helps that she has a good sense of humour and a beautiful dog.””

“I would highly recommend Rockroot. Kristen’s classes are highly engaging, and her hands on technique is great for new and advanced yogis. I am pretty inflexible and Kristen was able to offer slight alternatives and supportive equipment to help me get the most of the class. I learned how small adjustments can make a big difference. Her class was always varied, and the style could adjust depending on what we were focusing on that day. ”

“I highly recommend! Kristen is the best massage therapist I’ve ever had and is also extremely professional and personable. She really gets to the root of the problem and is very knowledgeable. She’s the best!”

“My husband and I have been taking Kristen’s outdoor yoga classes all summer and absolutely love them! Kristen is great at breaking things down and explaining each movement. Her class is a safe space to explore your body and mind and her teaching style is very therapeutic. I always come away grounded and with a renewed sense of ease. Highly recommend.”

“Kristen is an amazing RMT with a very unique style. She listens to any concerns, remains present throughout the whole treatment, and walks you through important details while also allowing you to relax completely. She’s knowledgeable and it’s clear that she cares deeply about her clients. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering massage therapy as a treatment option.”

“I’ve really enjoyed the yoga classes I’ve taken with Kristen! I love that she had outdoor yoga classes in the summer as it provided opportunity for a true grounding practice. She was open to listen to the needs of the group and would lead us through a variety of flows that were healing both mentally and physically. I highly recommend Rockroot yoga!”

“Kristen is amazing! Every time I go to her, I come out feeling 100%. The home care she’s given me has helped a ton in the general body soreness I was experiencing. I’d recommend her to anyone, even if you don’t have major issues. She really surprised me with her body assessment and connecting the dots with what was causing my issues.”

“I have been attending yoga virtually since the beginning of the pandemic. I love Kristen’s classes. She makes classes interesting by changing them with a different focus each class. She explains how each pose impacts which muscle groups and offers lots of variations. She asks for requests and incorporates as many as possible. Has helped me be less stressed and more tranquil in our new normal”
