Hi, I'm Christine and I teach yoga to adults and kids. I've completed two Yoga Teacher Trainings at the 200 hour level, the first in 2014 at Barefoot Yoga Studio in Davis, California. Always looking to learn and grow as a yoga student and instructor, I pursued 200 additional hours of training with Nicholas Giacomini (MC YOGI) and Amanda Giacomini (10,000 Buddhas) of Point Reyes Yoga in Point Reyes Station, CA in 2020. Most recently, I became a certificated yin yoga instructor, having completed 80 hours of Classic Yin Yoga Training with Devi Daly of Devi Daly Yoga.
I truly love teaching. Prior to becoming a yoga instructor, I was a high school English teacher at Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, AZ. I have a B.A. in English Literature from Georgetown University and a M.A. in English Literature from San Francisco State. One of my teaching mantras is "your body, your yoga" and I remind students to focus on how each pose feels, not how it looks, and to explore variations, adjustments and modifications to suit their unique body and range of motion. I teach in Davis at Barefoot and at a local elementary school. I practice yoga daily, often with my husband, to cultivate balance, flexibility and an open heart ... both on and off the mat. I am a happy mom to three grown and wonderful sons.
