Krystal Maldonis

Krystal (500RYT) fell in love with yoga in 2015. After spending years doing cross training she found herself longing for some time to slow down and be present. Yoga being just that, she went to her mat more and more and hasn’t stopped since. In 2019 Krystal graduated from 200h teacher training with Kristin here at Hot Power Yoga Center, then teaching at local studios in central MA. In 2022 Krystal went on to earn her 500 hour certification in Bali. Yoga has helped her through some very hard times in life , being the one place where she could slow down and move freely. This moving meditation is what kept her strong through these times, yoga has now become Krystal’s passion in life, she can't wait to share her love for yoga with as many people around the world as she can.
In Krystal's class you will practice linking breath to movement while flowing through various challenging yoga postures. Krystal loves the art of sequencing so be prepared to enter postures in new and challenging ways, that challenge your body as well as your mind. experience something new each time you’re on the mat.


Krystal Maldonis instructs the following:
  • Hot Power Vinyasa All Levels

    • The word Vinyasa means “linking breath to movement.” Our Vinyasa yoga classes are creative and teachers take students on a journey where the poses are found through breath. Vinyasa yoga is sometimes referred to as flow yoga since students flow from pose to pose in this style of class. In this vigorous flow students will be led through Sun Salutations, side bends, heart openers, backbends, hip openers, inversions, arm balances, standing poses, forward folds, core, twists and a floor sequence. Our classes are the perfect blend of all ways of stretching including a heavy focus on biomechanics and strength. We incorporate active and passive stretching, resistance variations of stretching, and use of props to add load or to modify.  These classes are for all levels. We offer a ton of modifications for all levels, so that each student can find the right variation of the pose that suits their unique needs.


  • "Aromaflow" Hot Power Vinyasa with Aromatherapy
    • This class was developed and created by Kristin Caforio-Marengo. She merged her two loves of oils and yoga and created this class. In this all levels heated vinyasa flow class, we diffuse 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils throughout the practice.  The oils will change every class, to support the theme and message of the class.
     
    Essential Oil aromas stimulate the part of the brain that affects emotion.  The shape of an essential oil molecule is like a key that opens lock-like structure in the olfactory nerve receptors in our nostrils.  The impression of the aroma is sent directly and immediately to the limbic system where memories are stored and pleasure and emotions are perceived.  When stimulated, the limbic system releases chemicals that affect the central nervous system.  Serotonin counteracts anxiety, and endorphins reduce pain.

  • Hot Power Vinyasa with candlelight
    • This class is done in candle light. Same as the regular hot power vinyasa class, only we add candle light to help relax the muscles and calm the mind.
