Crystal began practicing yoga 13 years ago while still living in Queens, NY as a counselor, working in mental health and addictions treatment. She decided to earn her 200 hour RYT from Align & Flow as a way to further assist people who are struggling with emotional and behavioral challenges to achieve positive change. Crystal identifies herself as a lover of nature, student of life, and a servant to all living beings, volunteering her time with animal rescue and care. She recognizes that both the physical and spirital practice of yoga are vital to wellness and growth, and offers a strengthening vinyasa flow with emphasis on breath and mindfulness.
