Kimberly learns most from her children, students, and nature. She praises the vulnerability and transparency that yoga attributes and she believes that blessings come in the form of people while building this conscious community. She recently became a death doula, supporting folks in end of life care, grief yoga, and spiritual counsel. Kimberly hopes to always be of service and to grow in love while continuing to stay playful.
