Christine is an educator, coach and mentor, planting seeds to help others grow. As an elder who has walked many stormy roads she assists people in becoming their very best by inspiring who they already are to awaken and flourish.
She strives to create an atmosphere that allows ANYone to comfortably express through movement. We are each and every one of us, unique and wonderful and deserving of Universal and self love. Culture shames us from fully expressing our divine beauty, from embodying our deepest passions, from celebrating the sensuality of being alive.Yoga and dance are powerful forms to celebrate our strengths and our differences, while enhancing our physical, emotional and spiritual selves. Inside each of us is a unique, radiant, beautiful human being, just waiting to come out and play.
Christine's dance and yoga practices are a fluid and ever changing part of her life. She loves to attend workshops to further improve the quality of her life, and always improve on her education and skills. There is always more to learn and this strengthens and inspires her ongoing dedication and creates an atmosphere that is ever changing, fresh and innovative. It is such a privilege to be here now in a time when yoga has become a mainstream practice and belly dance is an art that is blossoming. With a deep respect for tradition and for those who have danced and practiced before us, all forms of movement originated somewhere, from some small seed of enthusiasm. It originated with the spark of a new idea, with the hope and desire of a dream, and sometimes simply by the bodies response to the music that energized it.
As an artist Christine feels a responsibility to stir things up, and create community through movement, to be open minded and hold space for EVERY one. We are in difficult and trying times with our health at stake from stress and sitting. Our bodies can become disheveled and drained. Moving the body and expanding the mind is one way to re energize and stay healthy and connected. In private sessions you can find even greater relief, with personal attention to what your spirit is in need of. Tarot card readings by request.
You are possibly in a place where your lifetime evolution is thriving. You can celebrate this and your body at any age, or within any body "type."
Christine's passion for movement inspired her to become a yoga teacher. While her son was serving in Afghanistan, she began teaching yoga to veterans at the VA Hospital in Denver. Practicing yoga with veterans opened her eyes to the joy of being on the mat with people who are challenged to arrive there, physically and emotionally. This was the catalyst for continuing her yoga education in mind body connection and adaptive yoga. Christine taught adaptive yoga privately and at the Broomfield "Imagine" group home, she taught for 5 years at The Boulder County Jail and 20 years at A Place to B Studio in Boulder. Recently she moved to the western slope where she is continuing her work with unserved communitie.

I am inviting you to go deeper, to learn and to practice so that you
become someone who has a great capacity for being solid, calm, and without fear,
because our society needs people like you who have these qualities,
and your children, our children, need people like you, in order to go on, in order to become solid, and calm, and without fear.
~ Thích Nhất Hạnh
