Kristin McGee Early Life
Kristin McGee was born and raised in Idaho. While growing up, she had dreams of becoming a dancer or actor, but as fate had it, she ended up as a Peloton yoga instructor. At four years, Kristin performs ballet, jazz, and tap. She says her family is full of entertainers. Her parents met as lead players in ‘Little Mary Sunshine’ at Idaho state university before eloping. Kristin’s parents were blessed with three children, two boys, and a girl.
She notes that her dad loved singing and playing the piano. He got the support of her mom, who encouraged him to start a singing group called K.C and the sunshine kids. This motivated Kristin, who dreamed of moving from her Pocatello, Idaho, to the Big Apple to be a Broadway star.

Kristin McGee Journey to Becoming a Yoga Instructor
Kristin discovered Pilates in the 90’s while at the New York University theater program. They used to incorporate Pilates and yoga during warm-up sessions in the theater. After graduating from the university, her parents gifted her with a gym membership, and she gravitated towards the yoga and Pilates class. In her first class, Kristin realized she had come home since she got the movement and connection shed been looking for.
She did a headstand and realized that she must have practiced yoga in her past life. Kristin from then knew that was her calling as she felt drawn to the practice. When her teacher announced, she was holding a yoga certification Kristin immediately signed up for it despite her first yoga class. She got accreditation in 1997 and immediately began teaching yoga at the same gym.
During her time at the gym, she could be requested to substitute-teach Pilates classes because they had few teachers. That made her go to Kane school of core integration and got certified in Pilates with Kelly Kane. Kristin says that although there are similarities between yoga and Pilates, the two are different disciplines.
Turning Point in Kristin McGee Career
Kristin got a career boost one day while she was in times square teaching yoga. A producer from MTV was part of her class, and at the end of the session, she approached Kristin. She wanted to know if Kristin had headshots. At that time, Kristin was still actively involved in her acting career and was ready and prepared for anything. After her talks with the MTV producer, she was cast as the host, choreographer, and star in the first MTV yoga video.
Surprisingly the DVD was a success, and in the following year, they produced MTV Pilates and MTV power yoga which was filmed in Arizona. After one year, they did MTV Pilates mix. Kristin believes MTV helped her market herself, which allowed her to work with several celebrities. She worked with celebrities like Steve Martin, Tina Fey, Leann Rimes, Savannah Guthrie, Emilia Clarke, and Jenifer Lawrence. She also got the opportunity to appear on the cover of the ‘Pilate’s style’ magazine three times and become an expert on HSN for Pilates power gym for seven years.
However, her memorable moment was in 2010 where she had the opportunity to play ‘Kaitlin the yogaerobics instructor’ on season 4 of 30 rock opposite Jason Sudeikis. This is because she got to incorporate both acting, yoga, and Pilates, which are her passion.
