Army Veteran, Crystal Palacio
In today’s fast paced world, we could ALL use a practice that allows us to slow down, tune in and embrace the gratitude of being. Crystal has been practicing Yoga for over 16 years, first embracing Yoga as a workout and has since evolved her practice into something that transcends the physical body. After 16 years of active Army service, Yoga has been a centering force to alleviate some of the chaos of balancing a career that resulted in working and living in 11 different countries and very recently transitioning into the civilian world. In 2018, Crystal completed her 200hr YTT with the Veteran Non-Profit VEToga, offering a mix of Hatha Raja Vinyasa Flow with Pranayama and Yoga Nidra inspired by the teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra. In addition to her 200hr YTT, Crystal also holds certifications in Y12SR (Yoga for 12 Step Recovery) and Prana Pump Yoga, and includes aspects of Kundalini Yoga and physical therapy movements into her practice. Crystal is passionate about service and sharing unconventional and integrative holistic healing modalities with others, especially with the veteran community.
