Hello, I’m Christina! Movement has been a lifelong passion of mine, rooted in years of cheer and dance. I discovered yoga in 2005, and in 2013, I completed my first of many training programs.
With thousands of hours of training and nearly a decade of teaching experience, I specialize in mobility work and breathing mechanics. My goal is to create educational offerings that are both digestible and relevant to today’s practitioners. I embrace a modern approach to this ancient practice, ensuring it continuously evolves to meet the needs of my students.

Hi, I’m Liz! I came to yoga in 2012, around a time of injury where activities were limited, but I was craving any type of movement my body would allow. After continuing in my practice for a few years, I earned my 200HR teaching certificate at Asheville Yoga Center in 2018.
My practice now in 2025 is cultivated through curiosity, creativity, and science. As a clinical athletic trainer and a PhD student in Rehabilitation and Health Sciences, my practice stems from a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology and movement optimization. My goal is to intertwine this foundation with a fun yet challenging approach to a modern practice that enhances the understanding of the body through movement.

If you are considering signing up for the SAJ 200 hour yoga teacher training, do it! The environment is full of love, acceptance, non-judgement, and authenticity. I signed up for training in hopes of being able to teach others, but I truly gained above and beyond that. It created a space for me to not only grow my knowledge but also my confidence & beyond.

"My life will forever be positively impacted by this training."
The vulnerability and authenticity she brings into each class calls for her students to step up and grow into their full potential. She is your biggest cheerleader throughout the journey, pushing you to be comfortable with being a novice and learn new things. Re-patterning has given me the tools to continue to grow my teaching practice in a more confident manner and I am eagerly awaiting the next step in my training journey with Nu School.

"Christina is a teacher unlike any other."
It's essential for both practicing teachers as well as those simply looking for a better understanding of their own practice. Christina is an absolute breath of fresh air, but more importantly, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in pushing the boundaries (in the best way) of our traditional yoga practices. 100/10 recommend!
