Christina attended her first ashtanga yoga class in 2001, and immediately fell in love. She had more energy and felt cleansed afterwards. She found herself returning for more.
Over the next 10 years, she fell in and out of practice. After years of sitting at a desk, she felt overworked, stressed, and less able to move with ease. She started meditating and attending yoga a few times a week. Coming back to yoga, felt like coming home. As she practiced, she became less stressed and more at ease in her body and her mind.
Seeking to deepen her practice, Christina signed up for a 250 hour teacher training. The training was transformational, reigniting her passion for yoga. Wanting more, the next year she enrolled in an advanced teacher training. This course focused on therapeutic elements of yoga, including working with people of all ages and abilities. As Christina's practice evolved, she discovered she held a deep desire to share the many benefits of yoga with others.
Christina teaches the following types of yoga:
- Gentle yoga;
- Spiritually-oriented yoga;
- Flow yoga;
- Yin yoga; and
- Restorative yoga.
Christina's classes use Hatha fundamentals – breath, meditation, and poses – linking postures into a sequence of movements that flow from one to another. Classes are taught with logical and unique sequencing to promote a dynamic and relaxing experience. Suitable for all levels, Christina provides modifications for postures to invite accessibility as well as growth. Expect to leave her classes feeling longer, looser, and more relaxed.
