Kristyn Baribeau

I fell in love with Original Hot Yoga in 2007 and knew right away that someday I wanted to teach this life-transforming series. Two years later I went to teacher training and have been teaching ever since! It is a dream come true to be offering an Original Hot Yoga Teacher Training here at Bend Beyond!

Over the years, Original Hot Yoga has helped me heal from knee injuries, reduced chronic lower back pain, and aided in my recovery after giving birth to my son. The physical benefits, though, are only a small part of the story. This practice helped me settle a very over-active mind, has improved my self-confidence and body image, and makes me a happier and kinder person every single day. It changed my life by allowing the person I’d always been to shine through. As a teacher, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing how life-transforming this practice can be for SO many people, and I truly believe there is no better “job” out there! We’ve had thousands of students walk through the door at BB and improve their life through Original Hot Yoga. There’s nothing that can compare to that feeling you have after a 90-minute Original Hot Yoga Class…except the feeling you have after teaching one! I’ve been fortunate enough to mentor many teachers over the past 10+ years, and guiding them through this next step in both their yoga and personal journey is one of my greatest passions. It is an honor to now be offering our first Bend Beyond Teacher Training and to be able to take those very first steps in this next part of your journey with you!

YOU HAVE THE POWER WITHIN YOU TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
