Kim MacPherson, founder and owner of Crossroads Yoga in Milton, passed away at home on May 6.

MacPherson opened Crossroads Yoga in 2022, at 980 Birmingham Road #604, in the Birmingham Village shopping center. It was Milton’s only yoga studio, and, according to friends, it was the realization of a dream for MacPherson.

MacPherson studied communications and commercial design at the University of Maryland. She was an RYT 200 yoga teacher, artist, reiki master, children’s book author, and illustrator of the book, Wish, Miracle, Me! In years past, she owned an online marketing agency for 12 years, sold new homes and worked as a senior marketer for a large consumer publisher.

Under MacPherson’s guidance, Crossroads Yoga studio grew from just 21 classes and nine teachers at its opening to almost 30 classes and 17 teachers by early 2023. In interviews, MacPherson noted that the studio focused on yoga for “all ages and stages,” with vinyasa, chair yoga, yin, restorative and gentle yoga classes.
