About Crystal
Crystal Oostema is a mother of 5 and has been working with people and their bodies for more than twenty years.
She's a practitioner of Structural Integration (certified in the Rolf method) and has found SI work to be the most intuitively profound and effective avenue to help people re-discover how good living in their bodies can feel! She's also a registered yoga teacher who focuses largely on the therapeutic, alignment-based practice through her training Yoga Works in Los Angeles. She started her journey at the Chicago School of Massage Therapy in 1999.
Through her professional and personal development she's evolved her work to include a special area of focus in how to nurture and support people who have birthed babies (and people who also have those parts but do not reproduce) to become well-informed in how to treat our bodies well... so they keep serving us in all that we desire for ourselves. Readers note: this is the opposite of whipping your body so it gains visual approval, or so that you can perform to simply serve others through your labor.

from Crystal: You get to do You.
I created Yoga Integration®, a completely innovative approach to therapeutic movement and self-massage that actually works, because 1) it address your whole-ass person and 2) teaches you the Why and How, not just the What and 3) does it in such a way where, for once, you get it. You get why people say yoga helps them feel amazing and is super affective for keeping annoying chronic aches and pain at bay.
This is for You... you who clenches your jaw a little when you're stressed and probably pee's a little if you laugh hard enough. The you who will totally get on your yoga mat ... but not if you're bored, or if it hurts, or if you don't see benefits.
And, SAME. I do what works and cut the rest. Ain't nobody got time for that!
Yep. You are too young to feel this old.
Hurting more with every year is not inevitable. We have options to manage our own health and wellness through simple daily habits, when those are well-informed. You don't need hours of daily discipline. You just need to learn what your body needs, and then do more of that.
