Kim Stites

Kim grew up in Virginia Beach and comes from an athletic background. Running became her main focus and she participated in many local 5K and 8K races. After running a half marathon and marathon in 2007, Kim felt she needed a rest. She started practicing yoga at the gym she attended and received her first yoga mat from a friend as a Christmas present. One particular yoga teacher’s class inspired her and she wanted to deepen her understanding of meditation, pranayama and chanting. As she developed a regular yoga practice, she could see the transformation it was having in her life. She decided to make a commitment to the practice and enroll in a teacher training program. She received her 200 hour teacher training at Atma Bodha Yoga in July 2010. Yoga has created balance and peace in her life and Kim hopes to share the practice and inspire students to create this in their own lives. She seeks to learn and continue to grow as a teacher and a student. Yoga has brought her awareness and taught her about being truly present and about becoming a more compassionate person. Kim is thankful for the support of her family during this journey. She is employed as the Information Technology Coordinator at Jewish Family Service, Inc., a non-profit organization in Virginia Beach.
