Thank you for this. I was surprised, and yet not surprised, to feel so emotional during your final live Peloton yoga class. I wanted to share something in case it helps others, because it helped me years ago when I was dealing with a close family member’s health scare. A friend of mine took my partner and me outside and said, “I’m going to show you how to have a tantrum.” We all held hands in a circle, jumped up and down, and yelled, “This was not my plan! This was NOT my plan!” Since then it’s helped me deal with fear, anger, and frustration without blame. Much love to all of you I don’t personally know, and yet find myself caring for and hoping for all good things.

Kristin, this is true wisdom & so well said - thank you! I had to wring out my mat yesterday after your wonderful final live yoga class on Peloton - I was crying right along with you! Your amazing Yoga and PIlates classes will continue to play here on repeat (as they have for 6 years) but there is nothing like attending a live class with you. Your kindness, genuineness, enthusiasm, integrity, empathy, and true gift for teaching leap out of my laptop screen and warm my soul. I feel like one of my best friends is moving away - but I know that you will find your way to where you are meant to be. Your beautiful boys are so lucky to have more time with you this summer! I just want you to know that I am cheering for you here in Western PA - no matter what you do next!! - Sarah (HappiestNmotion)

That last line resonates so much with me. I went through my own divorce right after yours, and not knowing about yours felt so deeply moved by your Monday mantra classes during that time. I struggle often with blame, and blaming myself particularly when it’s clear how deeply my divorce has wounded my children. Thank you for this, I needed it today ❤️

as an avid fan of yours on peloton, i was saddened by the announcement but every change is a new opportunity and I’m excited to see where this one takes you. knowing you have the wisdom you’ve shared here, i know even better things are on the horizon.

some of your evening and floor poses flows are my absolute favorites and i do them on rotation; however, your evening yoga from this past friday absolutely skyrocketed to my #1 position and i imagine i will be returning to it weekly, at a minimum. thank you for leaving us with such a beautiful class.

I love this one so much. When I was diagnosed with cancer we my friend immediately told me I’d never be a victim to cancer, only a vixen. That truly changed my thought process around immediately! What a great reminder that blaming ourselves is worse than blaming other people. You know I love you! You got this 🥰

Kristin thank you so much for this beautiful post. You are such a wonderful teacher and I also got emotional during your “last class”. I cannot wait to see what comes next for you! Sending you so much love and grace. God bless you! I am so grateful I have had the chance to learn from you!
