Kim was introduced to yoga in 2011 by a friend following a break up from a long-time partner. She immediately recognized the mental health benefits of yoga and its ability to heal and transform the mind, body and spirit. Kim enjoys the peace and presence that yoga has created in her life and wants to share the magic of yoga with others. Kim utilizes somatic therapeutic yoga practices incorporating pranayama, moving meditation, mantras, chanting, mudras and intentional movements to create an experience that will enhance the mind-body-spirit connection.
Kim completed her 200 hour teaching training with Lily Russo in Mancos, CO in 2023 and is currently enrolled in the 300 hour Inner Peace Yoga Therapy Level 1 Program.
Kim likes to say that Jiu Jitsu is the Yang to Yoga’s Yin. She started training Jiu Jitsu in 2012 in New Jersey and then in 2014 started training at Easton Training Center in Denver where she earned a brown belt in 2019. Kim opened up Ahimsa Jiu Jitsu in 2024 and teaches beginner Jiu Jitsu classes out of Crested Butte Town Hall. Kim knows that if she shows up on the mat, Yoga or Jiu Jitsu, she will leave with a smile on her face and peace in her heart.
