I’ve spent the last 25 years delivering highly-tailored yoga, meditation and wellbeing programs to thousands of individuals, organizations and collegiate and professional athletes across the United States.
I attended my first yoga class in the mid 90’s and took a deep dive into the study and practice of yoga in 1996, while finishing my BFA in Dance at the University of Minnesota. After graduating I moved abroad and began teaching yoga while living in Mongolia. I launched into teaching yoga full-time in 1999 in Minneapolis.
From 2002-2014 I was a Lecturer at the University of Minnesota and began working extensively with collegiate and professional athletes. From 2003-2008 I lived in Chicago and taught at most of the major yoga studies, offered corporate yoga classes and worked extensively with a handful of professional athletes, a dance company and medical clinics. After a move back to the Twin Cities, I delivered dozens of programs to mental health clinics, school districts and corporate clients, including the University of Minnesota Gophers Men’s Football Team, St. Paul Public Schools, Code42 Software, University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts, the University of Minnesota’s Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, The Therapy Place, One Yoga and Arena Dances.
My approach to wellbeing is rooted in a combination of ancient healing practices, modern science and a holistic mindset. I currently have a home-hase in St. Augustine, Florida with my 18 year-old son.
““Christine was my first yoga teacher and has been my private teacher for over 15 years. Through health and personal challenges, as well as numerous career changes, she has tailored a practice to my needs and created a focused space where I can practice confidently and with a sense of ease. Christine has provided me with a welcome challenge no matter what is going on. She is kind, present and also just an awesome person who provides me with a ton of inspiration.” ”
“Christine has been a critical part of my overall fitness and wellness routine for over 5 years. I first consulted with Christine in 2012 for personal needs related to stress management, cancer recovery and maintaining my fitness and health while working in an extremely demanding position at a mid-size tech company. I subsequently hired Christine to work with my employees, which led to her to creating a yoga and meditation program for over one hundred employees. She also delivered on-site yoga classes multiple times/week for over 3 years. Her approach to everything was incredibly professional. Christine possesses an incredibly positive and contagious approach to living and has had a large impact not just on my own quality of life and overall health, but also that of just about anyone I saw her work with. I recommend Christine to any individual, but also to any business or organization looking to provide a higher quality of care to their employees or team members.”
