Our Team

Kristy offers her students the ability to SEE, Breathe and Feel through newfound awareness. Her goals include ensuring YOU leave having learned something.

She has spent the past couple of years focused on personal goals training and competing for Team Canada and knows that it’s never too late to create the life you want. She is open to sharing all parts of her own journey from loss, to injuries to great accomplishments she is ready to share her tools with you.

When not in the studio you’ll find Kristy likely on or in the ocean… Water is her element and her greatest teacher; creating on water programming is key to her personal growth and learning. Join her on the mat or off for an adventure that will most certainly include Water. Every day is an opportunity…

Kristy is a Certified Yoga Teacher, Teacher Trainer, a Stand Up Paddle Instructor Trainer with Paddle Canada and the owner of Just Add Water Yoga Ltd. @supyogakristy @supvancouver @justaddwateryoga

Yoga, the practice of self-discovery. Every practice, every pose we have the opportunity to learn a little bit more about ourselves. To practice self-love. Yoga helps me feel grounded and gives me the opportunity to be with my body and breath. To land on our mats every day without judgement or expectations, simply show up. I want my students to be challenged and play. Maybe learn a new posture….sweat a little, cry, laugh at how serious we can sometimes be, listen to some funky tunes and simply let go. I’m here as a guide for my students to explore, grow and shine.

I love creating new sequences, intelligently opening the body, and building pose upon pose to go a little deeper. I am continually inspired by my teachers and thankful for their wisdom, honesty and love. I am grateful to each person I have met and will meet. The universe is a never-ending source of knowledge, inspiration and happiness and I am always open to the life lessons that are being shared. I love the feeling of the sunshine on my skin, spending time in nature, family and friends, and my dog Emma! @karlaholman @love.my.essentials.

Maria found herself on a transformative journey of wellness and self-discovery through Yoga. She believes by nurturing ourselves on all levels, we can achieve a state of well-being that radiates from within. Her love for nature and travel infuses a unique touch to her practice, drawing inspiration from diverse landscapes to further deepen her connection to the earth.

For Maria, yoga isn’t just a practice—it’s a lifestyle that transcends the mat, encouraging all to explore their inner landscapes while connecting with the outer world. Yoga is more than just poses—it’s a path to a balanced life, a guide to self-love, and a practice of mindful living. While yoga can be a deep and introspective practice, she also believes in infusing playfulness and a touch of creativity into her classes.

Maria encourages her students to embrace their authentic selves, let go of inhibitions, and explore the freedom that comes with movement. Together, everyone creates a space where laughter and self-expression are cherished alongside the transformative power of yoga. Join Maria, as she lights up the way through the practice of Hatha/Vinyasa Flow, Yoga Nidra and Liquid Yoga, guiding you on a journey of breath, movement, and mindful living.
