Hey yogis! My name is Chris, and to me yoga is so much more than just movement, but also a way of life. I love everything from the strong vinyasa flows, to slow long holds in yin. 

To me, yoga is all about slowing down, and connecting to the stillness and peace within… Quiet mind, healthy body, and living from a place of love. I hope to see you in class to share this beautiful gift of yoga that has helped me in so many ways!
