Testimonials

I have been blessed to know Christy for the past nine years, not only as a yoga teacher but also as a spiritual guide. In recent years, I have felt the weight of the world pressing down on me—whether it’s the challenges of global warming, political corruption or health concerns—my mind has struggled to find peace. When I find myself overwhelmed, I usually turn to my physical yoga practice, but sometimes that isn’t enough. That’s when I reach out to Christy. I’ve shared my feelings of being stuck and overwhelmed with her. Christy’s expansive knowledge—from her yoga expertise to her worldly experiences and studies in spiritualism—makes her an incredible resource. Christy has a unique ability to tap into this wealth of knowledge and guide me on a path of spiritual growth, helping me settle my unease. She skillfully relates spiritual principles to today’s challenges, helping me shift my focus from negative to positive. Her support and wisdom have been invaluable to me during these challenging times.

"Christy creates a consistent yoga experience with her calm, abiding presence, a voice that opens one's heart space, and a precise way of communicating the various asanas. She allows students to move deeply inward while helping them to build core strength and explore their edge. She's the real deal--caring and compassionate, magical and wise.

"I first met Christy through a YogaWorks 200-Hour Teacher Training that I attended and she led. She's been an incredible gift to my yoga practice and learning. Practicing with Christy is truly transformative. Her classes and teaching stand out in what seems an ever growing sea of yoga instructors and studios. She possess profound knowledge of the principals of yoga, relationship of the body to the asanas and yogic philosophy. What really inspires me is her warm kindness and keen observance to sense where each student is at and what is needed to bring out the best in you as a practitioner and teacher. During the pandemic, practicing online with Christy was especially therapeutic and valuable and while I thoroughly missed being in person, the livestream experience was still profound. I look forward to her livestream classes every week and feel truly blessed to have her by my side as I continue my own yogic journey. No matter the asanas, a class with Christy will leave you filled with strength, inner peace, stillness and new found awareness."
