Christina Provencio
Christina’s practice began in college when a dorm mate invited her to yoga at the rec center on campus. She fell in love immediately and surrendered to an eternal life of conscious practice and learning. Never before had she been asked to breathe this way, to listen this way, to move and stretch this way, to be this way. Yoga quickly became more than the balance she needed to get herself through the stressful times; yoga became Christina’s spiritual fire and connection to an evolution of movement.
During her time in Southeast Asia, the asanas were brought to life for her in a traditional experience. Traveling from village to village, Christina sought out guidance and training under Buddhist monks. She learned to quiet the mind and surrender to the power of meditation.
Today, yoga continues to challenge her as she strengthens her relationship with herself. As this connection deepens, she is able to share her heart and passion for this life to the people around her through practicing yoga side by side. This ever growing love has presented Christina with the opportunity to teach and share her spiritual journey with our yoga community.

This class will also incorporate down-to-earth accessible lessons rooted in yoga philosophy. Show up, work hard, and then let it go and rest in savasana.
The ability to do big, complicated, intricate poses does not inherently make a student more advanced than another in their yoga practice. At its heart, this practice is about being present with what is here in the moment, deepening the relationship you have with yourself, and making intentional choices around how you act and move in the world.
