Chris is 200-RYT certified through the Living Yoga program. She has been an exercise enthusiast for decades and has a background in many forms of exercise, with yoga being one. It wasn’t until 2013 when she met her mentors that she realized all the yoga had to offer: the mind, body, and spirit connection.

 

Up until that point, it had always been presented as just another form of exercise. Always pushing too hard, too far, and never feeling it was enough, yoga helped Chris discover grace for self and much more.

 

As a teacher, her passion is to help others find that same grace and self-acceptance; an inner peace. Her school of thought is, there is no “one pose fits all” yoga. Yoga is for every “body”, and each person must find his or her pose, even within a given pose. With her guidance, Chris’s students find the pose variations that fit their needs at that time, which leads to self-discovery and self-acceptance. She is often heard saying, “Yoga is a journey into self, our authentic self, the part untouched by the storms of life and the best part is, it is only a breath away.”
