Kristina’s sequence into functional fitness was a natural transition.

She found alleviation from therapeutic exercise techniques, mobility training, self myofacial release, core integration, corrective exercise, strength training, yoga and meditation. She loves the idea that you can still practice the mindfulness of yoga while lifting weights or pulling on a band.
