About Me
As a Certified 200+ hr Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and Pilates Instructor, I bring a comprehensive understanding of movement to every session. What sets me apart as a teacher is my certification as a Laban-Bartenieff Movement Analyst, a specialized training that provides deep insight into how bodies move and adapt. This unique combination allows me to see movement patterns that others might miss and help me create a personalized practice to honor your bodies individual needs and limitations.
To stay in the forefront of safe effective practices I am committted to expanding and continuing my education :
Advanced Pilates Repertoire
Pilates for Osteoporosis
Restorative Yoga
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga
Iyengar Yoga
Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Dance Education
I am passionate about healthy dynamic movement and am devoted to learning, practicing and teaching the “art of movement “ to others.
“Does a small group class in a cozy yurt in the forest sound good to you? Yes! But the best part is Christy herself, who challenges us, keeps us on track, helps us become our strongest most balanced selves.”
