Cristina started practicing yoga 20 years ago. She feels that yoga found her instead of the other way around. “I wanted a practice that was not as strenuous, that would continue to build muscle, mind, and soul strength. Yoga did that for me.”

She did gymnastics and dance as a kid, and fitness has been part of her life ever since!

She studied psychology in college. With all of those, yoga - and later teaching - was a natural fit!

“Teaching is my way to give back to my community. I love to make my students feel that no matter what they did in class, it was more than enough and that coming in says so much about their self-love.”

Cristina loves to travel, hike, bike, be with friends and family, and discover new restaurants and places throughout the US and the world. Her career is a defining part of her life, as well. She has two grown sons and a Tuxedo cat named Dexter.
