Christine caught onto yoga while living and working in Southern California in the late 90’s and has been on her mat ever since.

When taking a class with Christine, you can expect motivating, clear, and concise instruction throughout a progressive, vinyasa-based journey that is just as mindful as it is vigorous. She encourages her students to be positive, present and consciously breathing.
