..:Hello and Welcome:..

My name is Kirstin and I am Imperfect Yoga Chicago!

I am a Yoga Alliance 200+ hour Registered Yoga Teacher, practicing restorative hatha yoga and meditation under the Shambhavananda tradition. Nice to meet you! I have been navigating a path towards mental and emotional wellbeing for the past decade that turned my reality upside-down. I am deeply grateful to have found a peaceful home through this journey, and never would have guessed that this home would lie within myself!

So, why the name? Because, by leaning into imperfection yet still living life through our values, we can take power away from anxiety and other mental illness (I should know, I am a proud “club” member) and lovingly give it back to ourselves. And isn’t that the goal here?

I am so happy that you found me- through one method or another- and truly hope to have the honor of meeting you on the mat wherever you call home.

From one perfectly imperfect human to another,
