| KENDRA RAYMOND
As a former advertising/interactive marketing executive and mother of 2 young children, Kendra fully understands the importance of restoring and relaxing through yoga.
She discovered the benefits of a regular practice in 1999. After enjoying many years practicing in Iyengar’s style of yoga, Kendra began trying others, including Baptiste, Pranavayu, ashtanga and Kripalu, at various studios on the North Shore. She credits a daily practice for giving her the ability to manage the day-to-day stress that comes with being a working mom to grade school age children and generally feel more centered.
In 2009 Kendra took her practice to the next level by entering YogaSpirit Studios’ teacher training program. This comprehensive 14 month certification process included an in depth study of the anatomy of poses, various alternatives and modifications for different body types, ailments and injuries, as well as a deep appreciation for the spiritual and healing aspects of yoga. It is with this training that she approaches her instruction. Yoga allows Kendra to renew her body and mind so that she can approach life with energy and passion. She hopes to bring each of her students the strength and peace she has found in yoga.
