Women of 280: Krista Young - Lemon Tree Yoga

Krista Young, owner of Lemon Tree Yoga, found her passion in yoga when she discovered its benefits in relieving her back pain from years of sitting at her desk job. She also noticed its calming effects. Believing that others could also benefit from the healing effects of yoga, Young, a certified yoga instructor, opened Lemon Tree Yoga four months ago. 

“The more I learned, the more I wanted to practice and share its healing benefits with others,” she said.

 Young loves working with her students and watching them grow. She values “seeing an improvement in my students. Watching them smile to themselves as they progress,” she said. “Everyone can do yoga. It is for all ages, body types and levels of fitness. Being inflexible is not an excuse not to try yoga, because yoga can help you become more flexible, along with improving balance, strength and so many other things.”
