Cristina has over ten years of physical fitness experience. Most recently she has completed her 200 hour Yoga Alliance teacher training certification, building on her high school and collegiate Division II competitive swimming background. Swimming instilled a love for intense workouts in Cristina that she brings into her personal yoga practice and the classes she leads. At the same time, she enjoys tailoring her classes to each individual--whether athlete, beginner, or somewhere in between. Her light-hearted, fun, good-humored nature shines through her teaching and she delights in sharing the names of postures with her students. Cristina strives to provide her students with helpful physical, verbal, and demonstrative cues to help them get the most out of their practice safely. She creates a yoga experience that fosters and allows--but never pushes--spirituality.
