  • "Christina is a gentle professional. Her classes always feel very thoughtful. Each session feels unique, as Christina carefully creates and adapts each lesson to accommodate my immediate needs while considering my overall goals and progress. Her expert knowledge of body movement, various tips and techniques to improve flexibility, and her attention to detail make her a great instructor. She uses that perception to help me continually correct and improve my practice. She also has the critical ability to challenge me while keeping the classes enjoyable, informative but yet tranquil. I love how she weaves yoga philosophy into the end of each class, and I always feel a strong sense of calm upon ending our sessions.”

    — Dan (Professional Athlete), Private Virtual Student

  • "My family and I look forward to our yoga with Christina every week! When our classes moved from in-person to remote, we found the transition seamless. Via Zoom or Google Meet, Christina is able to guide us through the poses and the practice, correcting our form and technique, as she would in person. The remote classes mean that we can continue our yoga with Christina anywhere, under any circumstance, which is wonderful."

    — Christine, Private Virtual Student

  • “Practicing Yoga with Christina has brought a world of positive change in my life. I look forward to our days of practice. I am impressed by how invested she is, in the evolution and growth of all her students even though we all are at different levels of ability. The breath work and the card readings make it an even more immersive experience with benefits ranging from physical to emotional to spiritual realms. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to learn with Christina.”

    — Bal, Private Student

  • “I have had yoga training with instructors earlier. The key difference in yoga learning experience with Christina is the thought she puts in assessing strengths and fallibilities of her students and then building the right foundation before advancing to the next steps. Her attention to detail while teaching is a testimony to her passion for Yoga. She is the best Yoga teacher I have had to-date.”

    — Pri, Private Student

  • “I have met Yoga teachers who are gifted practitioners and I have met Yogis who are gifted instructors. To be both is less common. I feel Christina is one of those. She focuses on pointing to the nuances of each pose so that one can fully and richly experience a pose rather than briskly going though motions. Her dedication to her students’ learning is exemplary.”

    — M. - Private Student

  • “I am a beginner in Yoga and have been working with Christina on a one-on-one basis for the past few months. Christina has been really great and patient in working with me as I learn the different poses. She is really good at ensuring you have the right form and that has been a great advantage for me in getting to work with her as I have a pretty stiff/rigid body and need the attention to ensure correct form. Classes include yoga poses combined with stretching and breathing exercises which always keep the classes interesting and the time flies by. I am looking forward to continuing to improve my form and getting better at Yoga in the new year. I would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking to learn and get started with Yoga.”

    — Rishi, Private Virtual Student

  • “I have been doing Yoga on and off for the last few years but I just started doing it more regularly with Christina. Christina is an amazing instructor. She is thoughtful, patient, intuitive, and genuinely cares about her students. I have been suffering from lower back pain for a long time and she has helped me to manage and reduce the pain over time. Every class is unique and her poses are designed to destress, stretch and strengthen specific areas of the body. I’m looking forward to building a stronger connection with my mind and body through her practice. I highly recommend her! "

    — Richa, Private Virtual Student

  • “Thank you so much for today's practice! I've been feeling lethargic and yoga is helping me bring back some vitality back into my life. Your very good at explaining the proper way to do the poses making sure i do them correctly in order to get full benefit. You take the time to see what I'm doing and i can clearly see you and understand what you want me to do. You look at what I'm doing and make the corrections! That's amazing. Not to many teachers will take that time. Thanks again. Look forward to continuing my practice with you and achieving vitality and strength.”

    — Rose, Private Virtual Student

  • “Christina really knows her stuff! With every class I take with her, I learn something new about my body and how to engage and align myself. She's been so great at meeting me at my level, and introducing new poses to suit my abilities. Although I have greatly improved, I have a long journey ahead of me and I am very thankful for Christina and her expertise. Even though most of our sessions have been virtual in recent months, she is always making sure I am doing each pose correctly. I highly recommend her as a yoga instructor!”

    — Shelby, Private Student

  • “I highly recommend Christina as a teacher for all styles of yoga but my personal experience with her has been Yin and Hatha yoga. Christina is constantly striving to learn new information and improve her practice and knowledge base to better teach her students. Christina’s caring attitude and focus on alignment and safe practice makes her an ideal teacher for any level of yogi. Christina is particularly great at helping beginner or intermediate yogis progress in there practice and gives them a strong foundation on which to build.

    — Jon, Private Yoga Class Student

  • “I'm so lucky to have met Christina. I was experiencing lower back pain and I realized that I was not properly doing my downward dog. That's when I found Christina's website, I signed up for her 8 course package and after 2 classes, no more lower back pain and by the 7th class, I finally found a straight spine during downward dog. At first, I was worried we wouldn't be able to address my concerns over virtual classes. However, she recommended that we set up 2 cameras and she's been able to watch by alignment both from the front and side. She puts a lot of attention on my alignment and she'll cue me right away if I need to change my posture. She also customizes the class to include both poses I want to work on as well as postures that will open me up for the final pose. 100% recommend Christina to anyone who wishes to improve their yoga practice. She puts a lot of care and attention to her clients and the results speak for themselves. Thanks Christina for all your hard work!”

    — Jemmy, Private Virtual Student

  • "As someone who was experiencing a lot of challenges with breathing and inflammation between my ribs and sternum, I was able to integrate her breath work practices and improve my breath range after one session. She incorporates a diverse set of skills into her practices that allows for wiggle room to challenge the more experienced person and meet you where you are as a beginner. Wonderful yoga and breath work teacher."

I have taken part in a few that CCS has offered and how she explained to do the poses was so thorough that I did not have to look up to see what she was doing, as I have in a few others.

I had the pleasure to practice yoga in a 30 mins session with Christina along with some of my colleagues. She is refreshing and provided some really great instructions throughout the class and received raving reviews from the attendees as well. I was able to learn some skills where I could apply to other workouts/yoga sessions as well. It was such a pleasure to have you engage with CCS employees virtually Christina! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!"

Does not push or force you when certain positions are hard to achieve, but rather guide you to an easier pose and support you along the way. Her classes are very calming and my body definitely feels great after each class. Thank you for helping to keep my body less tense!"
