Kirsten Kukal discovered yoga back in early 2001 when she was simply looking for a new fitness routine.  After her first class at Body of Work Yoga Studios with Joan Rosen, she knew that the "fitness part" was just the tip of the iceberg!  At the time, she was the owner of two retail businesses and a new mom with a daughter that was 18 months old. 
      After taking yoga with Joan for about a year, she took Ashtanga with Tom Carlson and Mixed Level Yoga with Beth Spindler, all at Body of Work Yoga Studios.  To these local teachers, she is grateful.
        Kirsten, RYT 200, has made many treks to take workshops with some of the greatest yoga teachers available today:  George Purvis, Thomas Fortel, Saul David Raye, Shiva Rea, Ana Forrest, Rod Stryker, Sean Tebor and more. 
        Today, she shares her love of yoga all over town.  She believes in the healing powers of yoga and with it, anything is possible and more tolerable. Through her practice, she has acquired great patience, a quality her life was lacking before engaging in the practice. She is married with two children, and is no longer chained to the world of retail!
