Our Team
Kristine Divall
On a typical day, you are likely to find me outside. Nature is my space, and where most of my adventures happen. I have a deep connection with nature, I was born a prairie girl and am an imported mountain woman. I love prairie lakes, sunsets, and fields of yellow mustard that lead to the horizon & I love the crisp cool feeling of a glacier fed creek and the beauty of a view from the top of the world.
I am an educator, creator and coach. I have a lot of fun curating experiences for people. This happens while having conversations, designing curriculum, when leading retreats, and when creating events. I work best in collaboration, and through conversations that sometimes bounce in many directions and then land on something awesome. I am not afraid to throw out a bunch of ideas and see what sticks!
In 2008 I co-founded a non-profit, Vinyasa Yoga for Youth. This organization has been instrumental for me in developing the scope of skills I have now!
