Founder / Lead Instructor / Lead Wellness Practitioner

Kristy Van Den Broek, B.A., E-RCYT, RPYT, E-RYT 500, MCTAA, IPHM, EAL, EAP, is originally from Canada and now resides in the Cayman Islands. A dedicated educator, wellness practitioner, and lifelong student, Kristy is passionate about helping children, families, and individuals cultivate balance, resilience, and connection through holistic wellness practices.

Yoga has the power to help people become brighter, more connected versions of themselves by strengthening the relationship between the body, mind, and breath. Through movement, mindfulness, and self-awareness, yoga creates space within us—space to move through life with greater ease, confidence, balance, and joy. Kristy's passion is helping others discover this connection in a supportive, fun, and dynamic environment while encouraging a lifestyle rooted in wellness, presence, and self-discovery.

Kristy's journey into yoga began during her years as a Division I collegiate swimmer on a full scholarship while studying Liberal Arts. Initially drawn to yoga as a physical complement to athletic training, she quickly discovered that the practice offered far more than movement alone. Over time, yoga became a source of peace, grounding, and clarity, helping her recognize that many of the tools she relied on as an athlete—breathwork, visualization, focus, and meditation—were deeply connected to the broader philosophy of yoga.

With decades of experience working with children and families, Kristy felt called to combine her background in education, athletics, and wellness into a holistic approach to teaching and healing. She has since completed extensive training and certifications in Trauma Sensitive Yoga for Children, Yoga for Autism, ADHD, and Differently-Abled Children, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga for All, Pranayama, Ashtanga Yoga, Mindfulness Facilitation, Ayurveda, EFT/TFT Tapping, Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL), Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP), and Reiki. She believes deeply in the importance of remaining both a teacher and a lifelong student.

Kristy's approach blends creative movement, mindfulness, breathwork, playfulness, and compassion to create experiences that nurture the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Her work supports emotional regulation, nervous system balance, confidence, self-awareness, and overall well-being for individuals of all ages and abilities. Whether leading yoga classes, wellness workshops, mindfulness programs, or holistic consulting experiences, her intention is to create safe and empowering spaces where people feel supported, inspired, and connected to themselves and others.

Her hope is that every person who leaves her classes, programs, or sessions feels refreshed, grounded, nourished, and more deeply connected to their own inner strength and potential.
