BodyInUnity Yoga School, Oviedo FL

Wow! Who knew that taking a yoga class could literally change your life! I signed up for a six month program at a time in my life when I really needed some direction. I had just lost my husband several months before and I was just sort of drifting. I wasn’t sure I could do it. I didn’t have the energy I didn’t have the commitment etc. This group of ladies led by Kristen encouraged me, stood beside me. We became best buds, and I learned what self-care really is. I highly recommend signing up for any of Kristen‘s programs or classes.

Kristen’s work is a gift! Her yoga, breath work, and Spiritual wisdom have been so beneficial to my soul and wellbeing. I’ve been in a few groups which she led and look forward to more.

I was apart of a meditation group with Dale and it was wonderful. He made me feel valued and included while also leading us in consistently peaceful meditation practices.

Kristen is a legit Rockstar! I had the opportunity and was fortunate enough to participate in two of her silent retreats which were based around yoga and meditation. Both retreats I attended were incredible! I'm looking forward to doing it again! Can't wait!

Kristen and Dale created a beautiful experience to allow us to go inward in a safe and mindful space. The yoga was gentle and focused on breath, beautifully facilitated for all levels in the room. Kristen and Dale are exceptional facilitators, gifted in their own ways and very special. The accommodations were very clean, and food was excellent with options for all, including vegan

Kristen is amazing! I started her 8 Limb Yoga practices once a week and I am hooked! My body and mind feel great! I have grown physically and emotionally stronger. She has formed a great supportive community. I can’t wait for the next course to start!

I attended a recent yoga retreat in St Augustine FL with Kristen and Dale as our host. I can't say enough about how amazing the weekend was with everyone who attended. Kristen and Dale made sure all our needs were taken care of so we could focus on ourselves and be in the moment with the yoga and meditation practices. It was a safe, loving environment to reconnect and share. I will be attending more retreats to learn more and more from this inspirational couple.

So very grateful for Kristen. I have never done yoga before and was nervous about having physical limitations. But Kristen worked with me and I am doing more than I ever thought I could! She is so special and her kindness and beautiful soul have taught me how to be mindful and have self love. I am forever grateful to have her in my life

I am attending sessions from Kristen for past few months. She is very knowledgeable in yoga and teaches the skills in very calm manner. Highly recommend her classes

Such a peaceful and restoring experience. Their three day retreat left me with a peaceful calm feeling and confidence to maintain it. Would love to attend another retreat.

I leave every session having learned something new about my own inner workings. My body and I are learning how to find the eye of the storm of life and how to move within it. Between Kristin’s practice of movement and Dale’s meditation practices, I’m finally making the space to breathe more fully and feel into my body. These practices are a life boat when one might feel stranded in the deepest waters of their own emotions.

Be still and breathe! Exactly what I needed and came at the perfect time in my journey. My first yoga instructor, a short 4 months ago, told me if you are paying attention to your breath, you are practicing yoga. Kristen & Dale guided me further in my practice with the beautiful combination of activities (breath work, sound bath, mindfulness walk & meditation, restorative & wake up yoga, +) and gift of silence! It gave me the space to turn inward, renew, and prioritize.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay with BodyInUnity. The setting was lovely and Kristen and Dale were wonderful, caring hosts with a lovely philosophy. I appreciated the safe space to clear my head.

I particiapted in a 3 month online Meditation group with Dale J. He is a wonderful teacher. I will be looking for more opportunities to practice with him.

This was my first Silent Yoga retreat. It was an amazing experience led by Kristen and Dean. Being silent enabled me to block out the noise that we are surrounded with every day and listen to me and the beauty surrounding me. The retreat venue was perfect and lent itself to the peace I hoped to achieve on this retreat. I highly recommend BodyinUnity retreats.

Grateful for Kristen's vast knowledge of Body, Mind, and Soulful exercises to unite all three from within! Teaches the inner work to physically release stuck energy and create new existence from her personnal dedication and practices for Awakening Whole Self!

This retreat was exactly what I needed. The silent aspect of the retreat helped eliminate the outside noise so I could listen to myself and my higher power. I am so thankful for the time I had to rest, center myself, and refocus. Dale and Kristen were amazing facilitators and created an open and neutral space for people of all backgrounds to feel welcome and safe.

I am still growing and learning as I try to apply the tools we learned at the retreat, such as self care, active listening, and mindfulness meditations.

I truly appreciated the beautiful setting in nature provided by the Canterbury Conference Center. The retreat center has done an amazing job honoring the natural Florida landscape.

I really appreciated the affordable price. What an amazing gift Dale and Kristen give to all who attend.

I highly recommend this retreat to anyone who needs time to reconnect with yourself or seek healing in a safe place.

Let me start by saying, I am by no means a devoted yogi, and this was my first time participating in a silent yoga retreat. I was immediately worried I wouldn't be able to keep up physically or mentally (not to mention having to drive to what I thought would be the middle of nowhere with a bunch of strangers). Luckily, I quickly learned my rookie-level skills are not only acceptable for this yoga retreat, but also welcome. My safety fears were also quickly put to rest when I met the other incredibly lovely guests and our retreat guides Kristen and Dale.

I think one of the biggest misconceptions behind retreats of any kind is that you must participate in everything on the agenda. This is simply not true here. While I committed to taking part in every yoga class as a challenge to myself, other people opted out of a few of the other activities, and this was met without judgement.

There was some considerable self-reflection included in each of the yoga, mindfulness, and meditation sessions. There were guided meditations, encouraged journaling, introspective and thought-provoking philosophical discussions, a sounds bath (my personal favorite) and periods of prolonged silence.

It was truly a welcoming atmosphere. The stunning setting, the charm of the retreat, so lovingly and painstakingly intentional, the delicious and healthy food, the yoga, the walks, and the company. Those on the retreat and those looking after us, were simply magnificent.

Many thanks to Kristen and Dale for their hospitality and kindness. The retreat inspired me in many ways and opened my mind to new things. I’m hopeful I have the opportunity to return soon.

Retreat was amazing. The yoga outside in the morning and the e programs were my favorites. I have signed up for the next one!
Beautiful place to to all this and feel very blessed to participate
The only slight critique I had was while the food was good, I am vegan and gluten free so limited to much of what was possible for me to eat at times.
Thank you Kristen and Dale for for you beautiful program!

I really enjoyed the Move, Breathe, Restore workshop. Kristen presented a well organized and thoughtful presentation of movement, breathwork and meditation that can be part of a daily practice. Very informative. I look forward to more classes with Kristen!
