MOVE. BREATHE. STRENGTHEN. HEAL. THRIVE.

Welcome , I'm Christina.

For more than 30 years, movement, yoga, breathwork, health, and service have been a meaningful part of my life. My work today brings together my experience as a Clinical Yoga & Movement Therapist, Ashtanga Yoga Therapy teacher, healthcare professional, Oncology Nurse Navigator, Patient Advocate, Health & Wellness Coach, and educator. But most importantly, I am a teacher who believes that every person deserves to be met where they are.You do not have to be flexible.
You do not have to be strong. You do not have to be an experienced. You do not have to look a certain way or move a certain way.

You simply have to begin where you are.

My approach is not about forcing your body into a particular shape or asking you to keep up with someone else. It is about learning how to move better, breathe better, build strength, improve mobility and balance, recover well, and develop sustainable habits that support your health and well-being.

MY APPROACH

I use the traditional and individualized intelligence of Ashtanga Mysore as one of my foundational movement tools, while drawing from my clinical healthcare experience, therapeutic movement education, fitness, breathwork, and health and wellness coaching. For me, Ashtanga is not about achieving a perfect posture or completing a particular sequence.

It is a framework for learning about your body. It teaches us to pay attention, work progressively, coordinate breath and movement, develop strength and mobility, and build a consistent practice.

I adapt that framework to the individual. Your practice may look different from someone else's — and that's exactly how it should be.

Your body. Your needs. Your goals. Your practice.

WELLNESS FOR REAL LIFE

I believe wellness is much more than exercise. It is learning how to create a healthy rhythm in your everyday life:

Move well.
Breathe well.
Eat well.
Sleep well.
Recover well.
Manage stress.
Build strength.
Create healthy habits.

Sometimes we need to work harder. Sometimes we need to slow down. Sometimes we need to strengthen. Sometimes we need to restore. And sometimes we simply need someone to meet us where we are and help us take the next step. That is the kind of teaching and coaching I want to provide.

MY FAITH & MY SERVICE

My faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of my life and the heart of how I try to serve others. I believe our bodies are gifts entrusted to us, and caring for our health can be an expression of gratitude, stewardship, and respect for the life we have been given. My Christian faith influences how I teach — with compassion, humility, service, integrity, and love for others. At the same time, my general wellness practice is welcoming to everyone. You do not have to share my faith to practice with me. For those who desire a Christ-centered experience, I offer Movement for Christ, an optional gathering incorporating movement, breathwork, Scripture, prayer, worship, fellowship, and reflection.

My faith is personal. My service is for everyone.

WHY I DO THIS WORK

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds and at many different stages of life. I have seen how movement can help someone regain confidence.

I have seen how learning to breathe can create space during stressful seasons. I have seen how becoming stronger can change the way someone moves through everyday life.

And I have learned that wellness is not about perfection. It is about consistency, awareness, compassion, and making choices that support you one day at a time.

My role is not to promise healing or tell you that one method works for everyone. My role is to educate, encourage, adapt, listen, and walk alongside you.

BEGIN WHERE YOU ARE

Whether you join me in Haʻikū, Maui, or online from wherever you are in the world, my hope is that you leave each practice feeling a little more connected to yourself. A little stronger. A little more confident. A little more aware of your breath. And encouraged to continue.

You don't have to change everything today. Start where you are.

Take the next step.
