Kim began her yoga journey 6 years ago, when her work as a Registered Nurse through the Clinton County Dept of Social Services lead her to a mindfulness training with Luis Sierra at ADK Yoga. She also began practicing Bikram Yoga at that time, a time in her life when she was looking for balance, strength, peace, and love within herself. Yoga taught her love, and forgiveness, and brought a release and understanding of her emotions and a way for her to process grief and past trauma. As a Registered Nurse of 31 years, including 20 years of home care and 10 as a Disability Coordinator, Kim uses her experience and work as a holistic provider to guide her yoga practice. She earned her yoga certification through High Peaks Yoga in Lake Placid and Saratoga in 2017/2018. She also received training in Yin Yoga at Laughing River Yoga in Vermont in 2018, and is looking forward to a Yoga Alliance certified Yin Yoga training in April. She has been teaching locally 2-4 times a week for the last two years at various studios, and sometimes holds volunteer classes for people with mental health and addiction issues.
Kim’s practice has brought her love, peace, and healing as well as strength, flexibility and mindfulness, and she looks forward to sharing her practice with you.
