“The greatest danger in yoga, that by necessity involves routine, is becoming mechanical and regimented. I find that the beauty of a mind-body discipline, such as yoga, is that it is an endless process of discovery and surprise.”

Who is Kristi Cole?
YoYoYogi’s Owner, E-RYT 500, YACEP
Kristi Cole is the owner of YoYoYogi with her husband, David, and the daughter of it’s founders, Alex + Terri Cole. Her yoga journey began in 2008 from an athlete’s perspective. Too tight to touch her toes and moving too fast to sit still, she worked fearlessly and tenaciously at this practice of yoga. Through the years; however, she has learned to loosen the grip, that there is no goal; that the work is in the curiosity into our ever-evolving beings.
A teacher since 2010, she has had the opportunity to guide students of nearly every background in nearly every realm from professional athletes to youth experiencing homelessness, from private lessons to events of 200+, inside the sanctuary that is YoYoYogi to all over the world.
Her teaching style is coined Awareness-Based Vinyasa, a practice that increases your connection to how you are breathing, how you are moving, how you are thinking, how you are living. Rather than the what Kristi is interested in your how and your why. She often says that helping people becoming increasingly intimate with who they truly are; giving them time and space to be alive in their own skin, live to the beat of their own natural rhythms, and explore their inner world is the privilege of a lifetime.
Kristi is also the Director of this 300hr Teacher Training, a program she deems essential. The role she holds dearest as YoYoYogi’s owner is supporting the path of a teacher as instructors, as practitioners, as humans. The ripple effect of this work exceeds far beyond these studio walls.
She remains humbled and grateful to be a thread in the long line of teachers that have come before her and will continue long after her. Her deepest hope is to be a steward of this practice, sharing forward the lessons she has learned from the incredible teachers who have blessed her with their wisdom, care, belief and passion along her path as a teacher.
