History

Established in 2010.

The Center for Sacred Movement had its earliest beginnings in May of 2008, when Kristi first began offering a free Prana Flow Yoga class on Sunday mornings at Ragle Park. She then taught for a time at studios in both Sebastopol and Santa Rosa.

In 2009, she began teaching Yoga classes at the current location — Sebastopol Physical Therapy. In 2010, Kristi and her partner, Tony, co-​founded the Center for Sacred Movement, a community organization that supports well-​being, healing and personal growth.

And we still on occasion bring yoga back to nature.
