Hi, I’m Crystal — founder of Diamond in the Lotus, certified yoga instructor, and owner of Crystal’s Pet Sitting.

​

At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: both people and animals thrive when they feel safe, supported, and cared for. Whether I’m guiding a yoga practice or caring for a beloved pet, my goal is to create a calm, nurturing environment where growth, connection, and peace of mind can flourish.

​

Since 2016, I have been teaching yoga with an emphasis on mindful movement, breath awareness, and self-compassion. My teaching style blends Vinyasa-inspired movement with principles of yoga psychology, encouraging students to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate a deeper mind-body connection. I strive to create an inclusive and welcoming space where individuals of all experience levels can feel comfortable, supported, and empowered in their practice.

​

My passion for creating peaceful environments extends beyond the yoga mat and into pet care. Through Crystal’s Pet Sitting, I provide home-based dog sitting, neighborhood drop-in visits, and dog walking services for pet owners seeking dependable, compassionate care. I have a special affinity for small breeds, senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from a calm, structured routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize consistency, patience, and individualized attention to help each animal feel secure, comfortable, and loved.

​

While yoga and pet care may seem like different paths, they are connected by the same foundation: presence, compassion, and trust. I am passionate about helping both people and pets feel more relaxed, balanced, and cared for in their daily lives. ​Whether you're looking to deepen your yoga practice or searching for trusted care for your furry family member, I’m grateful you’re here and look forward to connecting with you.
