These days, Kristina has bagged herself a completely new career away from the spotlight.

Having stayed largely away from the media glare in recent years, the star has trained and qualified as a yoga teacher.

Not only that, the dancer has been inspiring the next generation of yoga teachers by becoming a coach herself.

Taking to Instagram, she was left ecstatic after revealing that she had successfully trained up 13 new yoga teachers all under her own mentorship and guidance.

The glamourous star could be seen wearing a typical university-style cap and gown as she was surrounded by her students in the snap.

They could be seen beaming as they held up their pass certificates after completing their training with the former TV star.

Writing at length online, Kristina said: "And just like that it is over … My very first Yoga Teacher Training at @sooyogauk came to an end yesterday with 13 new qualified yoga teacher under my guidance.

"I can’t really explain what it feels like to be part of someone’s spiritual personal and professional development.

"Those who know can understand what I’m referring to and I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to guide and inspire these individuals."

She went onto explain in the post how she made the shift from Strictly Come Dancing to her new found career.

Kristina continued: "I am myself went through many metamorphosis to get here and to become senior Yoga Teacher with @yogaallianceprofessionals leaving the glitter and the glamour of Strictly Come Dancing and stepping into a different world of leggings and no make up life.

"It hasn’t been easy, but it has been almost like a rebirth of myself. And because through teaching and studying the ancient philosophy of Yoga, I could say that I am very proud of myself for being brave enough and not giving into doubts that I can actually do it."

Kristina joined the hit show in 2008 where she partnered political broadcaster John Sergeant.
