About Unity’s teacher and owner

Kristin Deyle is a registered yoga teacher and founder and program director of Unity Wellness Group™, LLC; innovative mind-body wellness company dedicated to helping businesses optimize the health of their employees through customized wellness programs. Kristin was initially drawn to yoga because of her background in dance. Yoga allowed her to move in ways that challenged her and kept her flexible. At first, yoga was a purely physical practice. She loved it, but found it hard to sit through meditations or commit to attending a class every week. As she slowly increased her practice, she began to rely on yoga as a way to release tension after long workweeks in her then-demanding marketing career. Yoga was there for her again following a car accident that left her in pain and unsure what her body could and couldn’t do. Her yoga practice helped her manage pain and be more mindful of activities that were detrimental to her health.

Today, Kristin credits yoga for changing her outlook, her health – even her vocation. “Yoga has given me a system to calm my mind and be present,” she said. “These skills are absolutely necessary for a joyful life but didn’t come naturally to me before a dedicated yoga practice.” She approaches yoga with appreciation and passion for all it can do and a personal desire to share this gift with others in a non-intimidating way. Her classes are relevant, fun and customized to what students tell her they want and need most.

Kristin worked in various marketing management roles for over 17 years before founding her own wellness company in August 2008. She was motivated to bring the health-transforming benefits of mind-body practices to people where they work while maintaining a healthy work/life balance for her family. She also teaches out of her studio. Kristin has earned a bachelor of science degree, a minor in business administration in 1991. After working in advertising several years she went on to earn a masters degree in integrated marketing communications. She received her yoga teacher’s certification in May 2008 from Santosha School of Yoga in Providence, R.I. She is a registered teacher with the Yoga Alliance. Her teacher was Santosha School of Yoga founder, senior Kripalu teacher and author Maya Breuer.
