Kristina Aitchison
Yin Yoga, Yoga Therapy and Private Health Coaching
Hi I'm Kristina, a provisionally registered psychologist based on the Gold Coast.​​
​​

Background​
​
Yoga and meditation have been transformative practices in my life, helping me cultivate calm, resilience, and purpose in a complex and fast-paced world. These practices have provided me with valuable tools for self-acceptance, positivity, and meaning—insights I aim to share with others through my teaching.
As a yoga teacher, my intention is to support students in developing greater self-awareness while strengthening the body, calming the mind, opening the heart, and cultivating balance in the face of life’s challenges. I am particularly passionate about meditation, which has deepened my capacity for self-enquiry, acceptance, and stillness, and I integrate these principles into my classes and workshops.
I have worked on a range of retreats, including Mindfulness Meditation, Detox, and Health programs, and my yoga teaching incorporates gentle yet strengthening asana, pranayama, and meditation practices designed to restore vitality, manage stress, and support overall wellbeing. My background also includes training in Pilates and providing a holistic approach to personal training, complemented by nutritional guidance informed by both Western and Eastern philosophies.
​
In addition to my teaching, I hold a degree and a postgraduate diploma in Psychology and am currently completing a Master’s degree with the goal of becoming a registered Psychologist. My academic training enriches my teaching by allowing me to integrate psychological insights into the practices of yoga and meditation.
Outside of my professional work, I am passionate about the ocean, enjoy freediving, and value time spent connecting with nature.
