Move with intention.
Create with clarity.
Live with curiosity.
Hi, I’m Kirstin — a Travel Writer, Creative coach, and yoga teacher helping people reconnect with their lives and bodies.
Ciao — I’m Kirstin.
I’m a writer, creative coach, yoga teacher (500-CYT), traveler, and mom navigating life wherever the military sends our family next. I am currently based in Eastern Japan.
For the past few years, my life has unfolded across multiple continents, and more identity shifts than I can count. I spent three years living in a small beach town outside Naples, Italy, raising a toddler and rediscovering what it means to build a life that feels intentional.
As a military spouse, the where is often decided for you.
But I’ve learned that I always get to decide the how.
How I move.
How I create.
How I build community.
This space is where all of those pieces come together.
My Offerings
-
Movement for real bodies and real life.
Through heart-led movement and accessible practices, I help people reconnect with their bodies while building strength, mobility, and resilience that support them far beyond the mat.
I offer hatha and vinyasa style classes as well as children’s yoga classes.
-
Helping creative entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life.
With a background in marketing and storytelling, I support small businesses and independent creators in building brands, websites, and digital spaces that reflect who they truly are.
-
Memory keeping for me. Travel itineraries for you.
One of my favorite habits that I picked up while living in Italy was writing about our lives there and the amazing trips that we took. Most of our travels were done over four day weekends with a toddler in tow. I created easy to follow weekend guides. Now that we are living in Japan with a slightly older child our travels may look a little different, but my guides will be the same and will include everything pinned, from hotels to restaurants to where to park. Let me share my love language with you — traveling the world.
Why yoga?
Movement has the power to reconnect us with ourselves.
Not because it changes how our bodies look — but because it changes how our bodies feel.
Yoga helped me rebuild trust in my body during one of the hardest seasons of my life. What started as a personal practice slowly became a way of grounding myself through constant change.
Today, my teaching is rooted the idea that my movement prioritizes presence, nervous system awareness, and sustainable strength.
Because the most powerful thing movement can do is bring us back to ourselves.
Over the past decade, I’ve worn many hats.
Marketing director.
Resume writer.
Military spouse.
Mother.
Traveler.
Postpartum mental health advocate.
Yoga teacher.
For a long time, I thought I had to choose just one path.
Instead, I’ve learned that the most meaningful work happens when we allow all of our experiences to shape what we create.
Whether you're looking for a yoga teacher, a creative collaborator, or simply a space that feels honest and human — you're in the right place.
