My name is Katrina, I'm 23 and I live in California. This is my blog recording my yoga practice & efforts to get in the best shape possible. It is also a resource for others who are working towards the same things I am.

I have recently begun teaching R.I.P.P.E.D. and other fitness classes. I'm so excited to be sharing my love of fitness and a healthy lifestyle with others!
