About Kristin & The Holi Land – Clinical Yoga Therapy

Your peace is personal.

In my practice, the person comes first. I provide the plan, but you make the choice. Guided by my experience and backed by science, you have the freedom to find your own way.

Be present with passion and purpose.

Here at The Holi Land, wellbeing is sacred and significant. On our journey together we meet pain as our partner and enjoy pleasure as empowerment. We cultivate the skills you need to master your challenges. We integrate new ideas with established support to nurture your growth into true, gradual, and sustainable transformation you can trust. By the time we finish, you will realize for yourself that peace is not what you perfect – peace is what you practice.

Meet your Yoga Therapist

Hi, I’m Kristin!

When I’m not buzzing through the New York City streets, cuddled up with my kitty Mina, or soaking up the latest read from Nora Roberts borrowed from my library to enjoy in the shade of Central Park – I’m a clinical Yoga Therapist seeking to advance medicine with an infusion of newly and re-emerging healing technology like Yoga.

My path has been an adventure through academia, caregiving for a parent with cancer, radical pivots into rewarding revelations of career and character, and so much more. I intimately understand the challenges and championships of real, life-altering change – what happens when you choose it, and more importantly, what happens when you don’t.

Yoga taught me how to bridge, how to build, and how to become. The Holi Land is here for me to give from all I have received, and now these gifts are here for you, too.

Yes, Yoga can work for you, too.

Inspired

My approach is personal and practical. Your body sets the boundaries, your mind decides what matters, and your heart learns to lead.

Informed

Sensitive to contraindications and safeguarded by evidence-based experience, we choose only the most specific and significant practices for the best impact.

Integrated

We plan with intention and move with purpose – every part of you is included in our work together. This is holistic healthcare and wellbeing from root to fruit.

Ways to work together

A practitioner is seated beside her, holding a small bottle, possibly of essential oil, and gently placing her hand on the woman's forehead. The woman has her eyes closed and appears relaxed. The setting is a calm indoor space with a blanket draped over the woman.
