Crystal enrolled in her first 200 Yoga
Teacher Training (YTT)
in 2009 through the Himalayan Institute. After feeling the many
emotional, spiritual
and physical benefits that Yoga and Meditation brought to her daily
life, she had a strong
desire to continue to learn and share with others.
Crystal has now completed a
second 230YTT, 540YTT, Ayurveda Yoga Specialist
Certification and Chair
Yoga Certification. She is grateful to have had in-depth
study-training opportunities with Indu Arora, Sarah Powers, Lauren Walker,

Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga, Mudra, Energy
Medicine Yoga, Yoga
Therapy, Yoga Philosophy, Fascial Anatomy and Meditation. Her
professional and personal studies are ongoing, always a student
of Life.
Crystal teaches from her heart
as she invites students to pause, connect, look inside and feel
what is happening in
the present moment, to observe the effects a practice reveals. Her
classes are rooted in
traditional Hatha & Tantra Yoga sharing from the lineage of
Swami Rami (founder of the Himalayan Institute) and teachings of Indu
Arora (International Ayurveda and Yoga). Crystal’s classes include Mantra (chanting),
Mudras, Pranayama (breath; prana practices)
and teachings from the
Vedas (ancient books of “wisdom”). Crystal holds sacred that which
Indu Arora has taught,
“Yoga is a work IN, not a workout”. Crystal is honored to teach and share from all
of her training, modalities and life
experiences respecting
an integrative approach. Crystal Ann Hanson believes that we are
ALL teachers and we are
ALL students.
