Introduced to yoga 7 years ago, Christine began to practice after working through injuries and soreness from marathons, recognizing a need for additional strength and flexibility. She was further drawn to the messages of patience, non-competitiveness, and non-attachment in the practice of yoga, which was so different from the active competitiveness that she had previously experienced. As is true for a lot of us, a series of life's seemingly unrelated but wonderful events and people resulted in Christine being introduced to, and finding her home in the style of Fluid yoga, appreciating the way in which it truly incorporated the mind, body, and spirit. This lead to her completing her 200 hour Fluid Yoga teacher training. She would like everyone attending her classes to leave feeling energized after a vigorous flow and with a deeper sense of compassion for themselves and those around them.

Jennifer deeply believes in the power of yoga to heal the body and mind and to nurture the human spirit. She sees the mat and cushion as laboratories for self-discovery and transformation. With an emphasis on mindful movement, she strives to illuminate paths to awareness and wakeful living.

She has studied with exemplary yoga teachers from a number of disciplines but is most influenced by Don and Amba Stapleton of Nosara Yoga Institute and Sarah Powers.

Rhiannon’s yoga journey began in 2005 while recovering from a dance injury. After reading a book passed down from her mother—the “Yoga Mind and Body” book from the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre—she was instantly hooked and experimented with pranayama, meditation, and a sattvic diet. Soon after, she became a regular student at the Yoga Center of Columbia for several years practicing under Anusara & Iyengar lineages. Much of the philosophy hadn't really sunken in until her 200-hr training at Charm City Yoga in Baltimore. Under the tutelage of Kim Manfredi, she finished her training in 2011, and in October 2016 finished her 85-hr prenatal yoga teacher training at YogaWorks Baltimore with Lily Dwyer Begg. What initially started as a journey of physical recovery, and desire to share this practice with fellow dancers/movement artists, soon turned into a lifelong spiritual and emotional journey. As a teacher, Rhiannon is known for her fun, yet nurturing spirit, emphasis on alignment, and ability to cater to individual needs. Her belief is that the practice should be therapeutic and accessible to all who show up. In her prenatal classes, mamas can expect a slow, yet strengthening and grounding asana practice that's suited for a changing body and growing baby -- and may even relieve some of the common aches and pains that come along with those changes!

I enjoy alignment yoga as well as flow yoga and Dharma yoga. I meditate at the beginning and end of class and I focus on posture and mobility. I like to talk in class about health benefits of yoga like increased energy level and improved circulation and immune system. We do a lot of stretches in class including leg and neck stretches, backbends, and hip openers. My classes have a lot of sun salutations and we integrate vinyasas and warrior asanas. I went to graduate school at the Georgia Institute of Technology and I have been in Washington, DC since 2013 when I moved here to work for the US Department of Commerce.

Computers. We spend a lot of time in front of them. I'm passionate about finding the best life balance with our time between desks, movement, and what we eat. Productivity isn't just about deliverables, but about life output. Let's crunch our computer output into short bursts of high productivity and enjoy life in between. We can be healthy in our routine, by bringing a life balance into our productive hours. Cheers!
