Founder and registered Yoga teacher Krystal Casey is a mom of five who discovered Yoga in 2014 as a way to help cope with her own postpartum depression and anxiety.
As a woman with a history of trauma, motherhood had unlocked a portal of pain she didn’t realized existed within her. Years of traditional therapy and medication had proved unsuccessful, so Krystal began searching for a more natural alternative of healing. This began the journey that led her to Yoga.
Inspired by the positive changes she experienced, Krystal became an online health and fitness coach to support other women with similar struggles. She soon found herself training to teach various fitness classes and certified by the American Council of Exercise (ACE) as a group fitness instructor.
In 2018, Krystal opened her own studio and discovered the beauty that is Aerial Yoga. She instantly fell in love and has since certified in Aerial Yoga, Yoga for Kids, and Yoga for Children with Special Needs.
Over the next 3 years Krystal learned to find balance both on and off the mat. As a new business owner she juggled ALL the hats: admin, customer relations, marketing, graphic design, lesson planning, teaching, maintaining the space…
It was a wonderfully busy, chaotic, and heady time, but overnight it all came crashing down.
In 2021 Krystal and her family faced tragedy once again; her husband was charged with several felony counts of sexual abuse against a minor, then he overdosed on methamphetamine and alcohol before justice could be served. This devastated her.
But with 5 sets of eyes watching and impressionable hearts learning, she refused to give up.
Instead, she returned to her practice and her tribe, and let them carry her through it. 🔥
Now, she uses her training and these experiences to help women create transformational changes in their lives and businesses.
