As with many students, Christine came to her first yoga class for one reason, only to discover that yoga would affect change and direction in her life previously unimagined. That first class in 1998 led to many more classes and workshops, retreats and seminars, a 200-hour teacher training certification in 2002, and a lifelong love and dedication to this ancient art and science.

Perhaps the most profound aspect she adores about the study of yoga is how relevant this centuries-old discipline is with our lives today. Drawing on her background as a health professional, Christine creates classes that are rooted in the bio-mechanics of movement, along with the subtle power of pranayama, mindfulness meditation, and if grace allows, a sense of humor. She has had the honor of studying with many wonderful teachers, the most influential in her life being Theresa Elliott, Kathryn Payne, Judith Hanson Lasater, TKV Desikachar, and the humble teacher of her very first class, Kelly Blanchard. Her practice continues in cultivating a “beginner’s mind” through her yoga practice as she navigates motherhood, relationships, aging, and baking the perfect pie.
