Our Story
To be honest, our story is a pretty simple one.
The two of us, Kristin and Laura, were put in touch by our mentor in 2019 when Laura was finishing up her 200 hour training. Kristin received her 200 hour certificate the year before. Over the course of the next year and a half, our friendship grew over a shared passion for Yoga and crystals! Towards the end of 2020, the craziest of years for everyone, we were chatting about how the world as a whole could use a little Yoga!
We felt like even though we might not be able to reach the whole world, we could at least try our best to bring some Yoga to the people of Goldsboro and the surrounding areas. Thus, the idea of The Yoga Spot at GSB was born! Why GSB?? That’s the location identifier for the airport on Seymour Johnson, AFB. Laura is a military spouse and Kristin spent eight years active duty and reserves in the US Air Force, so the base and the military are near and dear to their hearts.

Hey all, I’m Laura
I have been practicing Yoga since 2017 but its been within the last two years, once I started my Yoga teacher training, that I’ve gained a much deeper love and respect for Yoga and what it has to offer. For me, Yoga is so much more than a fitness regime, it is a way of life and I do my best to live my Yoga off my mat as well as on. I believe in kindness, respecting others, living truthfully, and striving for a holistically healthy lifestyle. The lineage of Yoga I study puts a strong focus on connecting breath and movement, mind and body.
I also coach CrossFit, so I love bringing strength components into my classes. I know how empowering it feels to be strong physically as well as mentally. I love that Yoga can help with both and I wish to share these aspects with all who are willing!

Hey! I’m Kristin
I discovered yoga through my husband, while we both were practicing Jiu Jitsu. In an effort to gain more flexibility we found an online community where the instructor also taught yoga. Yoga just clicked for me.
I was a professional dancer for over 5 years and have been practicing ballet, and many other forms of dance for over 20 years. Yoga offers movement and physical stretching as well as strengthening similar to dance. I also have a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Hawaii Pacific University, and enjoy the positive effects yoga has on someone who is seeking that mental calmness and stillness from their daily hustle and bustle. Being able to combine these two passions of mine, movement of the body and calmness of the mind, inspired me to offer yoga to others as well.
Yoga, for me, is about the ability to find balance. Not only the physical kind but the mental and spiritual kind as well.
