5: Kristina Rihanoff

This week I’m talking to Kristina Rihanoff.Kristina has had such a full career already and in this conversation I think you get a real insight into her life and work - a little peek behind the celebrity personality, famous for her appearances on Strictly Come Dancing. She speaks openly about her childhood in Russia, her love of dancing (as you’d expect!), but also her deep rooted passion for teaching others and of course, her absolute belief in the power of yoga! It’s so interesting to hear how she started out performing and teaching ballroom dancing in Russia and then across the world and how that led to her TV career, raising her profile and making her personal life very public. We also discussed what led her to have a plant based diet, how she has found the transition from living in big cities to the rural Northamptonshire countryside and we even talk about her specialist subject when she appeared on Celebrity Mastermind (yes really!) Kristina shares what it has been like to balance being on a national tour with her own dance show, setting up a family focussed health and wellness business with her ex-England rugby player fiancé, with bringing up their girls.
