Kristi Rudolph is a Dance, Yoga & Pilates instructor of world renown. She grew up on Bainbridge Island, graduating from Bainbridge High School in 1974.

She studied African and Brazilian dance and martial arts, all of which she combined to develop her Worldbeat Dance Workout. She lived at Rancho La Puerta spa in Mexico for two years where she taught Pilates and Yoga before moving to the San Francisco Bay area to deepen her yoga practice.

In 2006, she returned to Bainbridge to build a green design home. In October of 2007, Kristi traveled to the hills of Italy to teach Yoga. While there, she suffered a stroke and was subsequently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After 6 weeks in Italian hospitals she returned home to Bainbridge. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy at Swedish Cancer Institute.
Kristi has no health insurance and no income. Her sole source of earnings had been from teaching and training, which because of her weakened condition she has been unable to do for the past several months.

This raffle is a joint effort between the members and staff of Island Fitness to help defray some of Kristi's medical expenses.
100% of the proceeds will go to Kristi.
