What is Yoga?
Yoga is union between mind and body leading to total awareness, increased ability to give attention, create and follow intention, and creates awareness of wholeness, well-being and integrity.
We uses postures and series of postures to explore the breath, mind and body in motion and in stillness.
Breath is the key to uniting mind and body, and minding your body is the key to being fully present for your intention and your life. With a full presence and mindfulness, all of your goals are clarified and your ability to choose and reach them is improved. Imagine what you will become!
Now imagine this: You are perfect for this moment, in this moment.
Yoga is training in present moment awareness.

"Christine's class has been wonderful. Her depth of knowledge of this discipline is impressive. One of the aspects of her teaching is her constant awareness of her students’ needs, abilities, and capabilities - i.e. she always offers several degrees of difficulty for each asana. Another positive aspect of her teaching is her ability to maintain a relaxed atmosphere throughout the ninety minute session. At the conclusion of each session, I have always felt balanced, stronger - yet relaxed." ~Paul, NVSC Yogi

"Christine has an amazing ability to explain in detail, in a way that makes sense to me mentally and physically, each pose. She really understands each pose and what the body needs to be doing and she explains this really well. I felt like I went really deep into the poses for Christine's class. Overall, I felt like I got a good release and a lot of strength building from her class."


"You have a great tone for the class, a very calming presence and voice. Your comment about "making room" for the pelvic floor really resonated with me and ... It was the first time I really felt in my body the importance of "legs apart."

"It's obvious you have a medical background and a real grasp of anatomy, which is a fantastic asset as a yoga instructor."


"Being 'injured' I appreciated Christine's attention and suggestions for how I could do the poses within limits."
