Welcome to a Life of Meaning, Mindfulness, and Authenticity

Life doesn’t slow down, and the chaos doesn’t stop. But you don’t have to be caught up in the stress, worry, and overwhelm. Instead, you can find peace, presence, and joy—no matter what life brings.

I’m Krista Oakes, and my journey started with yoga, but my mission has expanded into something bigger: a mission to help you age gracefully, live authentically, and find meaning in your life - whether through movement, mindfulness, or meaningful conversation.

If you’re navigating midlife and beyond, you might be looking for:

✔ More energy and physical ease in your body
✔ Less stress, anxiety, and overthinking
✔ A deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment
✔ A way to slow down and be present
✔ A supportive, like-minded community

You’re in the right place.

I help people just like you who are searching for a deeper connection, a greater purpose, and the strength to fully be yourself—not by promising to eliminate life’s chaos, but by teaching you how to navigate it with mindfulness, self-care, and resilience.

As someone who has spent over 20 years guiding others through mindfulness—not as a perfect guru, but as a real person who understands life’s challenges—I offer a balanced, relatable approach. I’m not here to tell you to be perfect, to meditate for hours a day, or to twist yourself into impossible yoga poses. I’m here to help you find practical ways to bring more peace, presence, and joy into your everyday life.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to mindful living, which is why I offer multiple ways to support you:
