Angela’s yoga journey began over 15 years ago to complement running, cycling and other athletic endeavors. After back surgery ended her distance running, she turned to yoga for rehab and to stay in shape. She had always enjoyed the physicality of the practice but over time began to realize that it was a powerful tool for stress relief and reducing anxiety.

She and her husband moved to Bluffton in 2016 and she began practicing yoga almost daily. Then her husband of 25 years died suddenly & she found herself widowed at 50 years old. The emotional, spiritual and mental health benefits from yoga became truly lifesaving. She found that her yoga mat was the only place she could put down her “backpack of grief” and fully breathe.

This is why she made the decision to attend teacher training in 2019. Her mission every time she teaches is to share her passion with others and help them in their yoga journey.

Instructor, ERYT 200, Paddleboard Certified, YAECP

Growing up, dance and gymnastics were Christine’s outlet for physical expression, and in her late 20s she turned to yoga looking for support and community. She loves intertwining all 8 branches and their wisdom into her classes, and infuses her classes with somatic movement and breath work, helping build a stronger union with the mind, body, and spirit. She began teaching in January 2019, and thought her passion was going to be teaching the style she loved to practice, power vinyasa. She quickly realized that she finds joy and passion teaching beginners and likes helping others connect the breath and the movement together to build and strengthen their body awareness. Christine likes to take her practice all over, including the beach and her favorite, paddle-board yoga, on the water.
