Born in Northern California, Krystina moved to Los Angeles at the age of eighteen where she started her modeling career. Over the years, places like South Africa, Europe, Bali, and New York were her home away from home, until she decided to move back to Los Angeles where she currently resides. She first discovered yoga in 2008, seeking new depth and fell in love with spiritual philosophy, which made her a devoted student to the practice for over a decade. 

She acquired her first 200 hour YA certified teacher training in Bali with the School of Sacred Arts in 2015. She has since taken a multitude of different courses and intensives, accumulating over 1000 hours of education, to continue growing her wealth of knowledge including certifications in the practices of yoga nidra and sound facilitation. Her influences are B.K.S Iyengar, her beloved teachers, crisp new books, vinyl records, and the simple pleasures of her everyday life.
