Christopher Lettiere

Chris began the journey to yoga while dealing with crippling neck and back pain. A physical therapist recommended yoga when western approaches to pain management were unsuccessful. After 3 months of steady practice, he was pain free, and in love with the asana practice. Four years later, Chris continues his yoga journey as a graduate of Beloved Yoga’s 200-hr YTT program under the mentorship of Maryam Ovissi and Jafar Alexander.
As an instructor and practitioner, Chris explores the physical asana practice as an art-form of movement, honoring fluidity in transitions, creating joy in challenge, while finding stillness in the container each asana can bring. Chris’ classes are fun and energetic, while still using the asana as a an exploration to go inward. He is grateful to offer the practice to the Reston community. 
When not on the mat, Chris is an engineer, photographer, fiancé, and Italophile. A native New Yorker, Chris lives and works in Reston.
