KRIST GERIENE

Krist began practicing yoga in 2007 at the Ashram. With over 28 years martial arts training and a 4th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Krist found the healing aspects and physical joy of practicing Yoga very complimentary to his martial arts training. As his yoga practice continued, he found that yoga had truly become a major part of his life. In late 2009 after training with Gary Olson for almost three years, Krist expressed his interest to expand his yoga practice into teaching. Gary began training Krist toward that goal in October of 2009. He completed the YogaWorks 200 hour teacher training program in June of 2010 and discovered a passion for arm balances and inversions. Krist believes in a step by step approach to deepening his practice, building on small improvements with strong foundations and precise alignment. He brings this philosophy into his teaching style along with the belief that anything is possible with patience and practice.

Outside of yoga Krist has been a treasure hunter since 1978, recovering historical shipwrecks in Asia and throughout the Caribbean, living the same belief that anything is possible if you follow your heart.
