Christine - Yoga Instructor

Teaches at The Giving Tree Yoga Studio

Christine took her first Astanga class as a teenager and was instantly hooked. Every asana, twist, bend and movement felt like home. She continues to deepen her practice through a mix of styles—Mysore, Vinyasa, Iyengar and others. She lived in Paris for four years where she studied visual arts, and is now a Pilates, Gyrotonics, and yoga instructor in New York City. Christine completed her 200-hour teacher training in Chakra Yoga at The Giving Tree Yoga Studio in 2013 and plans on completing a 500-hour training within the next few years. 

The heart of yoga for Christine is the fact that it is a practice, a constant practice in which, every day, every pose and sequence is a new experience. Yoga is a commitment to wholeness, to honoring our true selves, and to contributing to the collective frequency of all creatures. Her personal teaching style is an active Vinyasa flow encouraging the balance of ease and strength. Christine is forever grateful to her instructors for their inspiration and support: her mother Denise, Jennifer Conway, Anthony Macagnone and Anne-Margaret Redding-Wood.
