When not at the Ranch, Krisna likes to hike, cook, read a good book, and, of course, work out. As a former professional dancer, Krisna travelled the world, from Russia to Europe. She used to live in The Netherlands and speaks Dutch. Her best general advice? “Eat real food and move as much as you can.”
