Krysia Maciuszko

Krysia discovered yoga at One to One, in Cleveland, Ohio thanks to her teacher, and good friend Deanna Black in the year 2000. While working as a Registered Nurse in the Coronary Intensive Care Unit, she found yoga to be a great escape from the hectic and stressful environment of a level 1 trauma center hospital. After moving from Cleveland , she continued her practice, at "It's Yoga" in Cincinnati , a Larry Schultz-inspired ashtanga yoga studio. However, it wasn't until her move to Scottsdale , Arizona , that Krysia became inspired to become a yoga teacher, as a result of discovering At One Yoga, and the great teachers there. She boldly changed careers, immersing herself entirely into yoga.

Krysia has been positively influenced by many wonderful yoga teachers at At One and through workshops such as Dharma Mittra, David Romanelli, Mimi Solaire, Bryan Kest, Steve Ross, Larry Schultz, Rodney Yee, Jenn Chiarelli, John Salisbury, and Cheryl Hall. She is most influenced by Dharma Mittra because of the joy and love he exudes in every class. Like Dharma, Krysia teaches that as long as your actions come from an intention of love and compassion, you can be sure that you are living authentically, that you are doing the right thing in life. Krysia seeks to end suffering and violence on earth, through yoga, meditation, and spreading a peace-loving message.

Krysia's fun and upbeat classes compliment the philosophy behind At One Yoga, uniting western culture's fashion, music, and technology, with Eastern culture's sacred rituals and tradition. In Krysia's class the student can expect a challenging vinyasa (flow) with a positive, energizing music. With a heartfelt message in every class, Krysia encourages her students to let go, surrender, and create a positive vibration in their body, mind, and spirit. As a result of supporting charities such as the Humane Society of the United States , Krysia encourages students to meditate for individual and universal peace. As you discover your true self and your true nature through yoga, you will connect with your inner compassion, love, and creativity. Come to sweat, smile, and blissfully set yourself free.
