An attorney by training, she spent six years as a lobbyist and legal counsel for non-profit organizations in Washington, DC, and has also worked on Capitol Hill and with the national staff for a presidential campaign. Today, she pursues her commitment to service both in and out of the yoga studio, including extensive work with the non-profit Off the Mat, Into the World (OTM). In 2011, she raised over $20,000 for Haitian NGOs through OTM’s Global Seva Challenge and traveled to Haiti to help put these funds to work on the ground. In addition to teaching yoga classes in studios around the DC area, Kristin offers yoga to underserved and at-risk youth and has collaborated to design and teach a yoga and art curriculum for incarcerated teens at a juvenile detention facility in Northern Virginia.
