You asked for it, you got it! More Longevity!! Join us for Part 2 of Kristina’s Workshop on Longevity, Sunday, April 14th 2-4pm, at the YogaNestVenice! (Updated date!) And if you missed Part 1, do not worry, you’ll get just as much information, if not more!
Movement & exercise is absolutely the most powerful tool we have for longevity, it might be the most potent “drug” we have for extending the quality and perhaps quantity of our years of life. My framework for exercise is built upon four pillars: stability (balance), strength, aerobic training, AND mindset! I can acheive much of this through my yoga practice. And I am going to show you how to add some key components to your practice to extend your longevity.
I never want anybody to think, “I’m too old to do yoga or I can’t do what she does.” I think as long as you’re breathing, breath is yoga, you have the foundation! In my regular “Power Vinyasa” class, we may challenge ourselves a bit aerobically. In this workshop, I’m going to break things down a bit more, showing how aspects of yoga help our stability and strength for longevity.
For me, longevity means training for brain health as well as physical, and adding the mental, social, and spiritual elements while physically moving has been scientifically proven to multiply the benefits of exercise alone. But in addition, some specific movements, show an increase in neuro activity while practicing yoga. Not to mention, the benefits of goal setting, managing emotional stress, and overcoming challenges!
Neuro-specific yoga moves for increased strength, balance, and endurance. More insight into the lifestyle elements that shape the quality of our lives. Learn the critical elements to age the way we want to, to live our best versions of ourselves well into a long healthy life!

If you’ve been in my class, you know I talk about this a lot, usually around the 5th minute in chair-pose (*joke) as we burn the tapas and get into some Svadhyaya (self-study). It’s one of the many aspects of yoga that I love, diving deep into our selves, finding out what our inner dialogue is. Mindset is everything!! In every part of our lives! How we face life! How we face relationships? How we face our goals! How we face challenge and adversity! And what I’m focusing on now… how we face aging! Do you know your mindset towards aging can mean as much as adding or detracting 8 years from your lifespan?! And as I always say, it’s not how long we live, but HOW we live, so let’s face it feeling and knowing, WE ARE AT OUR BEST!
Sunday morning comforts for me usually involve some quiet reflection, meditation, a little reading, and my coffee. I’m known for my lattes!
I met Lance Schuttler, the founder of Ascent Nutrition, a couple months ago on my retreat and I was so impressed with his products and his commitment to purity. We quickly formed a friendship and a partnership over shared beliefs and values! So now, my coffee, and a new addition, Agarikon mushroom, is a must for me! Once you taste real pure coffee, there’s just no other way to have it! Check out these amazing benefits of Agarikon, including lung, respiratory, and immune support!
Go to my Products I Love page for some quick easy links to the products I use personally, and go to Ascent and use code “Kristina” for an extra discount!

It has to be completely in line with what I practice and what I believe, and something I use personally. I appreciate your trust, whether it’s what I say in one of my classes, or what I post on sm.
Thanks for that trust! BUT NOW… I am excited to collaborate with this amazing company, Green Drop Compression! An incredible line of compression sleeves and tape for injuries and muscle pain relief, designed to heal in a new way to increase mobility and recover faster, a way to be free from the limitations of muscle & joint discomfort and get back to an active life.
I’ve had so many injuries over many years, and the greatest pain beyond the injury, is just wanting to get back out there! The amazing part is, Green Drop is completely holistic and natural and heals leveraging recent advances in science and technology, offering an infusion of natural healing, high-performance compression, and cutting-edge technology. Elevate your well-being, push your limits (and if you’re in my class, you know we love to blow past our limitations), and experience the transformative synergy of GREEN DROP‘s commitment to your holistic health.

A spontaneous mini-retreat!! I am hosting the RETREAT WEEKEND of your life! Zaca Lake in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley in Central Ca! Only a 2:45 drive outside of LA, a small distance from the heart of Santa Ynez & Los Olivos. A unique heaven like no other, we stay on a 320-acre private sanctuary surrounded by the Los Padres National Forest. Rich in Native American culture & a home to a nature and wildlife reserve. Gentle rolling hills dotted with ancient oak trees lead you to the entry of Zaca Lake, the gateway to the San Rafael Wilderness. A rare, natural spring-fed lake is at the center of the property. Nestled under a canopy of redwoods, a series of cabins line the north side of the lake. Every building has been meticulously restored to immerse you in spa-like comfort & luxury.
.
We begin each day with a yoga practice & meditation. You may know Kristina’s usual approach strays from the traditional , but see Kristina’s more gentle practice as she organically blends breath & yoga with tradition. Other rituals will round out the retreat throughout the weekend including ceremony, added yoga, & a special guest for meditation. We end each day with an exquisite meal, dining in the cocoon of the redwoods.
One evening we will get to indulge in holistic treatments at the Lavender Barn Spa at The Inn At Mattei’s Tavern, an award winning spa with a thermal experience of sauna, steam, hot tubs, cold plunge & outdoor baths. Each guest will choose either a 60 min massage or facial.
Deepen your yoga practice, get out & explore a new world, reconnect with your self & your own peace and inner-being before the holiday craziness begins. We are going to have the weekend & the relaxation of our lives!

Happy Friday, yogi’s! Thanks for sharing practice with me this week! I haven’t posted in a while because of a bad knee. I mentioned, I was asked,”What is the universe trying to tell you?’l 😂 so I’ve slowed down a lot in 2 months, used it as a nice challlenge, slow and steady, I kinda like it 🤪. (The knee is still wrapped )and I tend to dislike these vids as it looks like I’m not straightening my leg! It’s the dumb broken kneecap that is still swollen… oh well!)
Have a wonderful weekend, all! 💫✨♥️
See ya on the mat! 💫
