Individually focused, inclusive yoga for physical, mental & spiritual joy!

Welcome! I’m Krista Oakes. I’m a certified yoga and meditation teacher (E-RYT) that specializes in working with beginners and seniors. I teach gentle yoga classes that focus on safety, proper body alignment, mindfulness and learning to trust yourself- even if you are new to yoga.

I started my journey to yoga over 17 years ago and since that time I’ve taught yoga to thousands of people up and down the east coast. I’ve also spent 30 years practicing meditation. My approach to teaching integrates Kripalu Yoga style of teaching compassion, with the mindfulness of meditation, and the awareness of nutrition, blended with personal training, and lifestyle coaching with humor sprinkled throughout!

I offer yoga and meditation classes both online and in person, beach yoga, YogaWalks, integrative yoga life coaching, retreats, and women’s programs. My work has been featured in publications like Carla Magazine, Canvas Rebel, and on WNDB radio. I will help you feel healthy, happy, and connected while making it all purposeful, grounded and fun!

When I’m not helping people discover the magic of yoga, you can find me actively involved in the local community. I’m passionate about helping people get out and vote! I’m a member of Volusia County Women Who Care, a fundraising organization created by women supporting local by nonprofit agencies. I also support our local chapter of Team RWB, a national organization that supports veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity. I also love spending time with my 2 incredible sons and extended family. My secret and occasional indulgences are traveling, exploring new places and reading a good novel while sipping coffee on the patio.

I’m so looking forward to connecting with you and sharing the gifts of yoga and mindfulness!

My new book, Shedding Shame: Finding Freedom to Live an Authentic Life, is NOW AVAILABLE.

In it, I take you on a journey of my life challenges. I share my path to unravel the shame holding me back, where I’ve been, and how it’s gotten me to where I am today, living my best, authentic life.

I want my life story to offer you hope as you discover ways you might be able to heal. And I want it to offer you inspiration to find the courage to live your most authentic life. Click here for all the details.
