"I have had the pleasure of knowing Kristin Eaton for thirteen years. During the years of our acquaintance, I have known Kristin as a friend, mother of four, yoga instructor, and life coach. Her passion for teaching yoga is evident to even the most disinterested observer; one cannot help but see yoga emanate from her soul to her students. As a former educator myself, I cannot imagine a person better suited to teach yoga.
Her responsibilities as a yoga instructor and life coach have grown considerably in the past four years, as she has worked at several Chicago area venues, including her home yoga studio. The numbers of students who attend Kristin’s classes attest to the incredible gift she has in this field.
Kristin is a passionate, intelligent, capable, dedicated, and personable human being. She is responsive and sensible in all the circumstances I've seen her in. I feel confident in saying that she is capable of handling any situation with thoughtfulness and maturity. Kristin would be an extremely positive asset to any program."

"Kristin Eaton has been my yoga instructor since 2010. I first became acquainted with Kristin when she was teaching Yoga during Physical Education classes for students at the middle school where I teach. Her “class” was right across the hall from mine, and I was able to observe her interacting with the students. Her ability to inspire, and motivate kids this age was amazing. Tweens aren’t always quick to talk about what’s going on in their lives, but they were all very enthusiastic sharing and SHOWING what they were learning in their yoga class! Next, Kristin offered an after school session to introduce teachers to the practice and I joined. I have been hooked ever since!
A class with Kristin is a combination of mental and physical exploration. She is insightful as to what people need on any given day. I always feel twenty pounds lighter after leaving her class. I am trying things I never thought I would during a yoga practice, and am having success with things that were initially failures. I am amazed by the strength and flexibility I have gained since attending Kristin’s classes. She is very knowledgeable about the human anatomy and how the body works. She is also very kind and professional when helping students to improve their practice. She has the attitude that everyone can do yoga and her welcoming, non-judgemental personality is evident by her classes that are overflowing.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Kristin for any position that she is considering. She is fun, enthusiastic, passionate and inspirational."

"Kristin Eaton is a wonderful human being with great intentions. Anyone who hires her would have one of the best assests in their work place.
She is loyal, confident, hard working, practical and has great integrity. I’ve worked with her personally for her coaching and yoga skills. She has motivated me to be better, both professionally and personally. Kristin holds everything in confidence and has good ethics. As a yoga teacher, she really works on techniques and adjustments, which has helped me enormously in my yoga practice. When you are in a yoga studio with her, she inspires everyone in the room, her smile and attitude are completely uplifting." ~ Jill Martin
"I am writing to extoll the virtues of Kristin Eaton. I have been in her yoga classes for about 6 years. Without a doubt she is the most knowledgeable yoga instructor I have been to with regard to the muscular/skeletal system. Every class is an education. Her concern about preventing injury and attentiveness to the physical problems of each participant in class has always been impressive. Kristin makes even a large yoga class feel intimate and strives to make sure that each person there has a good experience.
In addition to her expertise in yoga, Kristin is the nicest person you would ever want to meet. She notices if one of her "regulars" is missing and calls them to find out if something is wrong. She is always willing to do a favor for a friend. And she is tireless in her efforts to make sure people are taken care of.
I have no doubt that Kristin would be successful at anything she chose to do. She is a smart, delightful, caring person and I would highly recommend her." ~ Diann Crawford
"To whom it may concern,
I am writing on behalf of Kristin Eaton, whose yoga classes I have had the pleasure of participating in for the past few years. I attended classes at Body Tech Total Fitness in Mokena, IL and at Kristin’s Yoga Pixie Studio.
Kristin is both passionate and knowledgeable about yoga. For a class opener, she typically asks students if they have any special requests and then tries to incorporate these requests into her planned program. Her style of yoga is unique compared to several other classes I have attended. What is special about Yoga Pixie Yoga? To begin with, Kristin’s strong background in anatomy and kinesiology allows her to explain to students what is happening anatomically when they are doing the different poses and movements. This allows students to gain a clearer understanding of yoga benefits and to master the moves correctly. Students can visualize the moves in their minds as they feel them physically. Learners consistently try to improve upon previously practiced moves as well as to meet new challenges that Kristin presents along the way.
In addition to her strong knowledge base, Kristin brings a certain “vim, vigor and vitality” to each class. She warmly welcomes newcomers. At the same time she helps her more experienced students to fine tune their skills and to grow in understanding.
There is truly a difference between teaching yoga and instructing yoga. Kristin is a talented yoga teacher. How so? Her clear communication skills, positive energy, and ability to reach meet each yoga student’s individual needs inspire students to seek further knowledge and to grow in their own yoga practice. Kristin sets a classroom atmosphere that is enjoyable and inviting for her students.
As an elementary school teacher, I once heard that excellent teachers have sparkle – they are “alert, confident and willing to have fun.” Add to this creativity, warmth, and a genuinely kind person and you will have an idea of Kristin Eaton’s talents and strengths.
I am glad to write this note on Kristin’s behalf. I look forward to learning more from her and hope you will consider Kristin for opportunities she is interested in pursuing with you at this time."
Sincerely,
Theresa Vagena

"Kristin is by far the most inspirational and knowledgeable yoga instructor I have ever had. She brings a sense of humor and lightness to every practice that makes it fun, even during the most challenging poses. I leave every practice feeling stronger, both physically and mentally. She addresses personal needs and never makes an individual's problems or pains seem trivial. I had back problems for several years, but since I have been going to Kristin, I have been pain-free.
She is also a dear friend and thoughtful person who I am glad I met! "~ Lisa Podelsek
