Khrys Baltodano is the founder and owner of Hola Yoga. She envisioned Hola Yoga as a place of spiritual wellness where students would gain a profound understanding of Self through movement, breath, meditation, and self-study.

Her teachings are a result of studies that have evolved from the Krishnamacharya lineage – Ashtanga Vinyasa, Iyengar and Viniyoga. She also teaches from a place of inner knowing — her own personal practice, the passion, and the deep understanding that comes through experience. Essentially, she teaches from what she has understood through over a decade on her mat. It is based on the idea that, for those of us who have chosen Hatha Yoga as a path, understanding often first comes somatically through the body.

An athlete all her life, Khrys was originally drawn to yoga as another exercise modality but through time, her love for the practice evolved as she gained a deeper understanding of the practice. Khrys has completed various certifications and trainings, including yoga nidra training with Richard Miller, and a 1,000 Yoga Therapy training. While Khrys loves teaching, she will always be a student in pursuit of deepening her knowledge and developing her craft. Khrys aims to inspire her students to find meaning in yoga beyond the physical postures through breath and mindfulness.

She is happiest when traveling, reading, road cycling or participating in athletics of any kind. Khrys also finds great joy as a wife, mother, and dog-mom to her German Shepherds, Mucho and Río.
