Hi sweet souls, I’m Crista Rose—a yoga and mindful meditation teacher, Reiki practitioner, and lifelong student of the human experience. Born and raised in Ohio, I now call Asheville home after a sun-kissed chapter in Florida and a transformative study in Bali, where I deepened my understanding of yoga’s roots, refined my teaching, and explored what this practice truly means.
My offerings are a symphony of sensation—guided by breath, shaped by movement, and rooted in presence. I share yoga from the heart, with a nurturing and compassionate spirit, always inviting curiosity, play, and self-acceptance. Whether you're flowing through challenge or resting in stillness, my intention is to hold space for you to reconnect with your inner rhythm.
I specialize in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative styles. My background in psychology and certifications in mindful meditation and Reiki inform everything I do, from the mat to my work beyond it. Through Rising Rose Yoga, LLC, I offer gentle, personalized support in the form of life coaching and private yoga sessions—tailored spaces to explore growth and inner clarity.
Off the mat, I manage global education programs for people living with and impacted by Parkinson’s disease—creating space around the world to explore healing, empowerment, and connection through yoga and mindfulness.
Nature is my greatest teacher. You’ll often find me barefoot in the forest, swimming in open waters, basking in moonlight, or seeking sacred solitude in the sanctuary I call hOMe.
I hope I have the privilege of meeting you this festival season!
