Kristen Callahan
Growing up dancing, music and movement have always been a central part of Kristen’s life. She learned about barre through her sister, who took Kristen to Lumos for her very first barre class in 2019. She loved that a structured workout could be a fun style of movement and feel like a casual dance class!
Kristen began taking classes more regularly after graduating from college, and three years later wanted to take this passion a step further. She was driven to become an instructor and completed Lumos’ Barre Teacher Training in 2025. Kristen believes music drives the energy of a good workout; her classes will be full of good beats to help power through all of those pulses! She can’t wait to move with you in class!
