Teaching yoga since 2000, Christy has studied in India with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and S.N. Goinka and in the U.S. with a variety of teachers including John Berlinksky, Sarah Powers, Paul Grilley, John Friend, Mata Amritanandamayi, T.K.V. Desikachar, and H.H. the Dalai Lama. In her teaching, and inspired by the present and urgent need for a positive shift in global collective-consciousness, Christy emphasizes mindfulness, breath and alignment; strengthening and moving from core; and cultivating one's highest wellbeing for the benefit of the planet and all beings. Drawing on ancient yogic teachings and elements of the Ashtanga, Iyengar, Anusara and Yin Yoga traditions, Buddhism, and other wisdom traditions, she weaves a creatively flowing, invigorating yet calming, centering yet expanding exploration of Self through Asana. Christy teaches Vinyasa/Flow and Yin Yoga in the San Francisco Bay area and leads workshops and retreats at locations in the U.S. and abroad.
