Crystal Robertson CYT 200

Growing up in South Dakota, yoga was this crazy, unheard of foreign thing. Back then, Crystal thought yoga was just stretching and breathing, something that didn’t appeal to her at the time. In 2015 Crystal developed a meditation practice to find clarity and inner peace. She heard yoga could help deepen her meditation practice and she loved the idea of a moving meditation. One night at the gym there happened to be a class while she was there and it was love at first downdog. She learned quickly it wasn't all just stretching and breathing. She found some parts to be challenging and saw she how she overcame those parts every time. Yoga has taught Crystal how to embrace the ebbs and flows of life more gracefully. And now it helps her find balance as a martial artist—physically and mentally.

Crystal completed her 200 hour certification in 2016 with Becca Roodhuyzen. She has attended workshops with Christina Sell, Michelle Marchildon, Jack Cueno, Jeanie Manchester and Noah Maze. Crystal’s classes revolve around realizing authenticity and strength within ourselves and our bodies. In sharing this practice, she hopes to help people embrace these qualities both on and off the mat.
