Christina began her journey into the world of yoga over 15 years ago and although she expected it to impact her external body, she never realized how it would put her in touch with her heart and spirit. She believes that  the philosophy of yoga was a part of her all along.

Yoga balances the analytic and artistic sides of Christina. She worked as a Nurse Practitioner in Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases for 13 years,  and her love for science is balanced by her passion for nature, art, and dance. Her yoga practice is inspired by her training in ballet and the multiple styles of yoga she has studied over the years, as well as her experiences as a Nurse Practitioner. She also finds inspiration for her classes by being outside in nature. 

Her wish is to use her experience and knowledge to guide students toward optimal wellness through gaining awareness of body, mind, and spirit.

When not at yoga, Christina gravitates to the water  with her love, Christopher, where she finds peace and a sense of wonder. She also enjoys being outside on her bike or playing tennis. She loves spending time with her family.

Over the years she has been inspired and taught by many  talented teachers. She completed her 200 hour training at Easton Yoga with Alicia Rambo Wozniak.  She has attended workshops with Sean Johnson,  Max Strom, Jamie Elmer, Elena Bower, Jason Crandall,  Sean Corne, Jurian Hughes, Natasha Rizoupoulis, and David Swenson. She extends gratitude to all her teachers.

“I continue to go with the flow… who knows where the current will carry me?”

Lisa’s journey into the study of yoga goes back many years. She first signed up for a 90-day trial at “It’s Yoga” when she lived in San Francisco back in the 90s and has been practicing ever since. In 2016, Lisa found her opportunity to dive a little deeper through the teacher training at Beloved Yoga. Eager to share her passion for yoga, she was determined to hone her understanding so that she could communicate, “why yoga!” This inquiry of “Why” guided Lisa through Beloved’s 200 hr and 300 hr teacher trainings. It was a deep dive that grounded her practice through the exploration of traditional teachings, and reaffirmed their value in our modern world. Whether understood as sattva or homeostasis, Lisa is dedicated to sharing the wisdom of yoga, as it offers essential tools of self-regulation. She firmly believes that yoga is for everyone. Her experience has made her adept at meeting students where they are, offering the customizations that help to build a relationship with the body, breath and mind. Lisa is a 500 RYT through the Yoga Alliance. Her training includes Pranayama, Yin, Senior, Trauma Informed and Accessible Yoga.
