Yoga is a life long wondrous journey for me! I started my practice over 15 years ago when my kids were small.  I knew I needed something in my life. I went to try my first yoga class and I was hooked. I am so grateful for that amazing first teacher. I was inspired, encouraged and supported. I continued my journey until I felt compelled to do teacher training. It was another amazing step for me. I am passionate about life, people and adventures. I love to travel and have been very lucky to have explored many countries worldwide. It has given me a unique perspective on the world we live in. Since completing my teacher training at the International Sivanada Vedata Centre in 2015, I have continued to learn and grow. I have completed more training in Yin Yoga, Meditation and Chair Yoga; all have only strengthened my practice. I have had the delight to practice in the UK, Canada, Turkey and India. I look forward to helping you experience your own journey of yoga.

Christie has been exploring yoga since 1999 and has been teaching since 2009.

Though she teaches a variety of styles of yoga, Christie specializes in functional mobility and therapeutic movement based on the body's bio-mechanics.

I am a certified yoga teacher (RYT 500) and meditation coach, a proud Canadian Armed Forces veteran and a mom. I humbly offer a caring and safe space, where you are met with patience and compassion. Together, let's find sanctuary in community and within our practice. We always focus on safe movement, including adaptations for injuries and varied abilities. I am trained in trauma-sensitive and adaptive yoga practices with a specialization in military and first responder audiences, though my offerings are for anyone who is facing heightened stressors or is struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and/or chronic pain. All are welcome!  My personal yoga journey began in 2004 and deepened in 2015, when I began studying the field of trauma and the role of the mind-body connection in processing and integration. My practice is my bedrock, helping me stay balanced as I journey to process and heal PTSD and manage chronic pain. I sustained severe leg injuries five years ago, which landed me in a wheelchair. My doctors doubted that I would ever again walk without mobility aids, but I was determined to beat the odds. Yoga was instrumental in my recovery. My practice supported me in the hard work of physical rehabilitation and helped sustain my morale and mental equilibrium. Today I am once again able to move entirely without supports. This journey has helped me deepen my relationship with myself and the world around me and I profoundly appreciate our human resilience and capabilities.
