Yoga
No Experience Required
I offer personalized yoga sessions designed to address your individual needs. Beginner, restorative, and prenatal instruction focus on body awareness, mental centering, and breath work (pranayama) in addition to structured poses (asanas). I teach in the Iyengar style of yoga which utilizes props to help place the body into proper alignment regardless of age or body type.
If you are in the Huntsville, AL area we can work together in person, otherwise instruction will be virtual. Contact me to find out more.

Testimonials
“When I found out I was pregnant I knew I was going to need help with stress, breathing, and keeping my body flexible. She individualized everything we did. Cristina worked with my husband to give him the tools he would need to support me when I was in labor and she offered virtual lessons when we found out we had Covid. Her experience with breath work and pain management was key in making it through a drug free labor. My time with Cristina was one of the best choices during my pregnancy. Cristina’s love and light made all the difference!”
– Beth H
“About 7 years ago, my health hit rock bottom. As friends, I watched how Cristina transformed her health and wanted what she had achieved. Traditional medicine put me on six medications, which were making me sicker. Using some of the methods Cristina taught, I am now off all my medications. I am using yoga to reduce my stress levels, gain health, gain flexibility, and gain strength.”
– Laura A
“I have thoroughly enjoyed attending Cristina’s group yoga class. I have attended many group yoga classes over the years, and this is the first time that an instructor has provided thorough explanation of poses and gentle correction to help my body properly align. She also instills positivity and hope in every class. I feel completely safe to move and be just as I am in each and every class. Truly a blessing I look forward to each week that moves beyond each class into my life everyday!”
