Christina began practicing yoga in 2006 while in college in Vermont as a way to help sort through feelings of anxiety. She found breath and movement practices so important to her mental health that she kept it up when she moved to Brooklyn in 2008 to teach middle school. In 2013 she completed her 200hr YTT at Laughing Lotus in Manhattan & taught yoga as her second gig — first at Goodyoga where she also completed an additional 300hrs of training & then at Tangerine Yoga, where she taught until she moved back up to Maine in 2018. 

Since her initial 200-hr training, Christina has continued her studies in Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Ayurveda for Women’s Health, Pranayama & Daoism. Her classes weave in elements of Yogic & Daoist theory and are infused with her love of music & rhythm. Christina’s classes aim to create a safe container so students can have an experience of themselves, whether in an energetic, creative Vinyasa class or a gentle, slow Yin class. Each class is a little journey inward, centering choice and pleasure within intelligent sequencing. It is her hope that by continuing to practice showing up for themselves, students will be able to better show up for others in their communities. In this way the movement practice becomes a mirror for community care.

Christina grew up in a tiny town in central Maine and loves to head north to visit her family & her mom’s chickens. She lives in the West End of Portland with her partner and newborn baby, Rey, the love of her life. Christina loves to be outside hiking, surfing, tending garden, cross country skiing and other forms of adventuring; she equally loves to be inside baking, reading, puzzling and other forms of getting cozy.
