Chris' wanderlust has had her training all over the globe. After coming to yoga ten years ago she decided she would enjoy leading others. She has had the opportunity to train in India with the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, Prachant and Geeta Iyengar, B.N.S. Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois. She has also completed several trainings and workshops locally with several different teachers including: Richard Freeman, Paul Grilley, Elizabeth Rainey, and Fiona Stang. Chris will tell you her greatest inspiration was India and you can feel this emanate from her in class. She reminds you that yoga is your practice, empowering you explore your own body and do what you can just for today. For those of us who like the early morning you can begin your day and your practice with a unique style of pranayama which helps us all go beyond what we are used to and realize our energetic potential through breath.

Famous last words: "Be the star of your own creation. How you feel about yourself and the world at large directly affects the functions and operating system of your physical form. And, your feelings always follow your beliefs, meaning that how you feel is a result of what you believe. The belief in a vital, healthy existence is one of the wisest beliefs to embrace. And, as is true with all beliefs, the bottom line is you must believe it. A key to vital health is the ability to sustain love for yourself and excitement for life. You are the star of your own creation."
