Yoga with Christine Overview

I have been practicing yoga for the past 15 years and have been teaching for the past 7 years. It is beyond a hobby of mine, it is a passion! As a lifelong learner, I am constantly taking classes, writing new yoga sequences, and reading various yoga books, magazines, and articles to improve my understanding of an almost 6,000 years practice. 

I believe that yoga can relax the mind and body, and can be modified to increase or decrease sensations in poses. Each class I explain to my students the importance of listening to their bodies and doing what feels good and comfortable. 

Who I Am Outside of Yoga Class:

I am a college professor with Illinois State University and teach seniors in college who are preparing to become elementary education teachers. I taught 4th, 5th, and 7th grades and bring my teaching pedagogy into much of who I am. 

I am a wife and mother of 2 beautiful children and puppy! I love yoga, nature, biking, animals, reading, and traveling. I feel happiest when spending quality time with family and friends.
