Kim began yoga in 1997 and began teaching in 2009 after completion of her first certification in Hatha Yoga. Soon after she met Shiva Rea and pursued advanced certification in Prana Flow. Kim is most drawn to Prana Vinyasa for its emphasis on breath as the primary source of alignment in the body and its transformational potential for both the individual and collective consciousness. Kim is grateful to Shiva for her teaching and strives to bring this awareness to her classes. 

Additionally Kim is trained in Yantra Yoga, one of the oldest recorded systems of yoga existing today, which also gives primary attention to the breath. 

She holds dual degrees in Visual Arts and English as well as an MFA in Poetry with over 10 years teaching experience in literature, creative writing, and composition. 

And in a parallel universe, Kim skates roller derby with purple hair and an alias.
