Her mission lives on through her daughters, her husband, and the wide circle of support she built.

This heart-centered class will include a gentle asana practice led by Kristina, followed by a guided meditation and extended savasana with sound bowls led by Gina. Together, we’ll raise awareness and funds for a cause that is needed now more than ever.
