Kristen Bower

Kristen Bower has been supporting women and their families through pregnancy, birth and parenting for nearly a decade. While going through a difficult time, Kristen found yoga to be a safe haven. She began to recognize how yoga could relate to every aspect of life and felt compelled to share yoga with other people. She shared her desire to teach with one of her first yoga teachers who encouraged her to follow her heart. Kristen completed Om Yoga teacher training with Christie Clark, Frank Mauro and Cyndi Lee ; Ma Yoga Prenatal Yoga teacher training at Lila Yoga, Dharma and Wellness with Mia Borgatta and Eden Fromberg in January 2005 and Bija Children’s Yoga training with Lauren Maples in July 2008. Most recently, Kristen was a labor nurse at the Roosevelt Birthing Center in Manhattan. Kristen continues her work with families offering independent childbirth classes, lactation support, yoga instruction, as well as labor and postpartum doula support.
