Kristoffer Runevald

Instructor

Willow Street Yoga Center

Kris is a devoted student and teacher of yoga and meditation. He aims to cultivate curiosity, challenge, playfulness and deep awareness between the mind and body. Kris invites students to find refuge in their practice and the sangha of the yoga community. He strongly believes in the power conscious movement and meditative journeys as a way to help us be more skillful in all areas of life and help us heal physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Kris came to the DMV area in 1997 from Sweden. He feels a deep connection to mindfulness meditation from Eastern traditions, including his Sri Lankan heritage. Aside from his regular yoga and meditation practice, he is an avid rock climber, hiker, live-music lover and baker. He completed his 200-hour training in March 2022.
