Kim Adrian (she/her)

In the very first yoga class Kim ever took, something inside her perked up. Twenty-five years later, she still doesn’t know what to call it—that part of her that sat up and said, more please—but she remains amazed by the power of practice, the way it encourages a steadier, more resilient sense of self and a healthier, happier body. Her goal as a teacher is to help her students enjoy similar benefits.

In her classes, Kim aims to create an environment where curiosity and experimentation can come out to play while things like negative self-talk and comparative thinking take a nice long nap. Her precise verbal cues help students understand alignment principles, lines of energy, and useful modifications for each pose. Above all, she encourages them to listen to the wisdom of their bodies.

Kim received both her 200-hour and advanced 300-hour trainings from Down Under Yoga. Teachers include Kate O'Donnell and Rich Ray (Ashtanga), Patricia Walden and Rosie Richardson (Iyengar), Masaaki Okamura and Barbara Benaugh (Slow Flow). She continues learning through her yoga community, classes, workshops, readings, and her own practice. Off the mat she is a writer.
