Cristyna’s training is rooted in Classical Hatha Yoga, with a focus on functional movement, body alignment, breath work, meditation, and prop-use. She is trained in Pre/Post Natal and Yin Yoga, and is a qualified Astrologer and Master Reiki Practitioner too!With a background in competitive swimming, Cris has always been passionate about wellness and exercise; she quickly discovered that breath control techniques used in the water optimized her ability to run long distances and connect, with intention, to the practice of yoga. This coordination between breath and movement has changed her life.In class, Cris often encourages her students to be their own “scientist”— safely exploring the body in new and dynamic ways to better understand their limitations, capabilities, preferences, and options. She aims to instill a love of learning by creating a supportive and engaging environment that encourages curiosity and exploration of the “self”.
