October Warrior - Kristine Batten
At Zen, we believe in celebrating the incredible people who make up our community. Each month, we highlight a member whose journey inspires us all – a reminder that yoga is about growth, connection, and showing up just as you are.
This October, we are honored to celebrate Kristine Batten.
� 📸 Pictured with her daughter – both will be joining us on our Costa Rica retreat this March!
Kristine’s Zen Journey:
� “I joined Zen in February 2022 after coming to an open house to learn more about the studio, and I’ve never looked back. I love that the Zen Community is so welcoming – a group of people who support and encourage one another.”
What Zen Has Brought Her:
� “I’ve noticed I’ve gotten stronger both physically and emotionally. I also had the chance to go to one of the retreats and walked away with amazing friends.”
Favorite Pose:
� “Child’s Pose. When I first joined, I had a lot of emotions I was dealing with, and many times in this pose I was able to release and let it go.”
Kristine’s Advice to New Students:
� “Don’t be afraid – no one is judging or watching you; you are safe here. Zen encourages all levels and offers modifications so students feel comfortable and confident to try all the classes.”
✨We are so grateful to celebrate Kristine this month – her strength, openness, and joy inspire us all!
