Crystal Krause E-RYT Owner and President of Power Moves Yoga RYS As I began my yoga practice it became clear this style of practice aligned with my personal goals  It was the only routine which improved my overall well being  With a background in gymnastics and dance the physical aspect of yoga felt natural and intuitive  Since then yoga has become my sole focus because it strengthens me on numerous levels through incorporating various practices  As a seasoned personal trainer and group fitness instructor my experience in the yoga community has been focused on developing and maintaining high standards in teaching techniques  This quickly led me to developing and executing yoga teacher training programs  Early in I opened my own yoga studio and school Power Moves Yoga serving the Fox River Valley  I am dedicated to raising the vibrations of health and happiness through yoga because it has brought equilibrium and harmony in my life Public Classes: I love teaching my public classes because I find it very rewarding to be part a practitioners yogic path  I work with people on a physical level first through my teaching methods and inspire them to develop a well-rounded and unique yoga life-practice by getting involved in the various styles and trainings I host  My restorative yoga class encourages stillness and peace on your journey  My power-vinyasa class is focused on alignment and safety but also emphasizes breaking out of self-imposed boundaries and empowering a practitioners abilities to test their limits  Finally my strength class is created to give fitness enthusiasts a familiar entry point into a yoga practice  In addition to regular weekly classes I host workshops and programs which dive deeper into some of my most passionate subjects  Some workshops include Inversions Meditation Chakra Studies and Myofascial Release  Finally I commonly host a Kids Yoga Program which teaches critical skills including positive affirmations mindfulness visualization body awareness and stress management Teacher Development Programs: After teaching and creating a strong following in the community I found it would be impossible to touch as many lives with yoga as I would like to  To broaden my reach I concentrated on training and developing instructors to utilize high standards and principles in their teaching  I began hosting Teacher Training programs for entry-level -Hour teachers and advanced /-Hour yoga teachers at Power Moves Yoga  I know I have so much to share with the yoga community from my experience as a personal trainer group fitness instructor and athletic coach  Ive combined the lessons from my experience in these roles along with the multiple yoga trainings Ive participated in from around the world  After developing several teachers in various formats I feel an abundance of gratitude and assurance for the teachers who graduated from our program as they enter the community  These individuals are all paving their own path but I do believe they contribute to pursuing my vision of raising the vibrations of health and happiness everywhere through yoga and meditation Beyond the Mat: I take yoga off the mat by incorporating mindful purchase decisions dietary choices selfless service to the community and a consistent mantra practice  My specialized experience with yoga pursuit in mind-valley academy and strong foundation in fitness training empowers me to cultivate a wonderful community of yoga practitioners  By inspiring the public to embrace yoga along with mindfulness I truly believe I can create an upward spiral of positivity in peoples lives Education: Bachelors of Science Experienced -Hour Yoga Teaching Certification E-RYT ACE Personal Training Certification ACE Group Fitness Certification Mind-Valley Academy Member.
