His knowledge of kinesiology, physiology, and anatomy is grounded in his previous career as a Dancer, and expanded upon through his mobility focused personal training and personal experience in a variety of sports. Dance has brought Kristo all over the world and the country, during this time he both performed and taught at a high caliber.
