Christina helps others enhance their vitality on all levels: body, mind and spirit.

• She has been an ACE Certified Personal Trainer since 2013, fusing traditional weightlifting with functional movements for a well-rounded regimen. She agrees with Hippocrates: “If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.”

• She began studying yoga in 1997 and has been a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT®) with the Yoga Alliance since 2008. Her style of hatha yoga is to move dynamically in and out of poses to lengthen before holding statically to strengthen. Thanks to the benefits of yoga nidra and meditation, she agrees with Rolf Gates: “Yoga is not a work-out, it is a work-in.”

• She also offers breathwork—techniques to consciously alter the flow of the breath which can have profoundly beneficial effects. These techniques are primarily drawn from pranayama in yoga and Conscious Energy Breathing in which she was trained in 2020. The outcome of a successful breathwork session is increased inner peace and optimism. She believes as the Dalai Lama does: “Happiness is the highest form of health.”

In all pursuits, Christina believes there is room for both hard work and humor, and that vigorous activity gives way to ease and creativity.
