Wellness & Yoga with Christine

So apparently today is Women’s Equality Day. One day. Out of 365.

(Should we be flattered… or roll our eyes?)

High-achieving women like us know that equality isn’t a 24-hour special. It’s the work of a lifetime. We’ve spent decades being bold, brave, authentic, and unapologetically ourselves. And we’re not slowing down now.

Here’s to being whoever we want. Not just today, but every single day of the year.

Yoga has been evolving for thousands of years — and it’s kind of wild how far it’s come :

* It started over 5,000 years ago in India with chants, rituals, and philosophy — no Warrior II in sight.

* Around 200 AD, a guy named Patanjali wrote the Yoga Sutras — giving yoga a structure rooted in breath, focus, and ethical living.

* Centuries later, hatha yoga brought physical movement into the mix. That’s where the poses began to take shape.

* And in the 1800s, yoga made its way west, slowly morphing into the styles we know today. Studio yoga, Zoom yoga, YouTube yoga… all distant cousins of the original.

Kinda amazing, right?

Yoga’s shape has changed, but the heart of it — awareness, presence, connection — is still right there.

🐰 What do bunny ears have to do with yoga? 🧘‍♀️

Turns out… everything when you’re teaching a class on Easter weekend and believe that movement should be fun.

So yes, I wore fluffy bunny ears. And yes, I added a virtual Zoom filter with giant Easter eggs and smiling bunnies.

Because sometimes, a little silliness is exactly what we need to lighten the load.

I am a big fan of bringing joy into my yoga classes. And this was just one more way to sprinkle a little extra into class.

Hope something makes you smile this week—on or off the mat 💛

✨ Meet the CHRISTINE Yoga Teacher Action Figure ✨ (Okay fine, she’s not actually in stores… yet 😉)

Meet Christine—your friendly, down-to-earth yoga teacher who traded in her finance career for a life of wellness and joy.

This action figure captures her essence: smiling and ready to guide you through gentle yoga sessions that make you feel vibrant and alive. This action figure box comes with a yoga mat, a set of yoga blocks, and a yoga strap.

Fun fact: Christine grew up in Austria, has a soft spot for Nutella, and dreams of hosting a yoga retreat in Bali. Her cat often joins her sessions, adding an extra dose of coziness.

I created this action figure just for fun using ChatGPT (DM me if you want to learn how to create your own action figure).

But let's be real: I do think every woman deserves to feel like the star of her own wellness journey. That’s what my online yoga classes are all about.

💕 You don’t need to be flexible.
💕 You don’t need to drive to a yoga studio
💕 You just need a mat, a laptop, and a little time for YOU.
💕 You will improve your flexibility and balance, and feel less stressed.
💕 You will find a fantastic community of women over 45

Wanna join us? Message me or check the info on my website.

Let’s keep moving, keep laughing, and keep feeling amazing—together.

What a beautiful setting in Bali to teach a few yoga classes at Holiway Garden - Resort & Spa Bali …

What a wonderful setting to practice yoga 🧘‍♀️🏝️☀️Holiway Garden - Resort & Spa Bali

Happy Holidays! 🎄🎄🎄

Can we talk about how the holidays can be so much fun but also… kinda stressful? If you’re feeling it, know that you’re not alone!

Here’s a little trick to help keep your cool:

🌟 Stop what you’re doing for a second
🌟 Take a big breath in through your nose on a count of 4
🌟 Hold your breath at the top
🌟 Let it out slowly on a count of 6
🌟 Repeat until you feel a little calmer

Sending you all the love, good vibes, and a reminder to breathe when things get crazy! 💕

Yoga is about reconnecting and listening to our bodies.

Sometimes, in yoga (and in life), we push ourselves even though our bodies might crave and would benefit from less intensity.

I encourage my students in my yoga classes to "Listen to your body so you can adjust the movements to your body's needs. You know your body better than anyone else. You are the CEO of your body."

We all laughed together this morning when one of my students in class responded to my prompt to "listen to your body" in this way ...

Even at just 92.55% in Boston, that solar eclipse was a pretty cool event! Amazing how the lighting and the temperature changes at its peak.

Hi ladies, happy women's day! 💚 💜 🤍

I want to share a quote with you that I shared with some fabulous women in a women's circle yesterday:

“You are not meant for crawling, so don't.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.”

This lovely quote is by the 13th century poet Rumi. It might be eight centuries old, but it holds true today as well.

So, go and pursue your dreams fearlessly! What are you waiting for?

Drop the heart emojis 💚 💜 🤍 in the comments if you're ready!

Live is too short not to have fun! That also includes when I teach my virtual yoga classes. 😆

I have been to yoga classes where people take themselves way too seriously. That's not the environment I want for my classes. My yoga classes are fun, relaxed, and welcoming to everyone. No intimidation factor here!

A big thanks to my amazing students. I love sharing my time with you so we can learn to breathe better, connect with our bodies, and learn tools (through yoga) to deal with the everyday stresses that inevitably occur in our lives … all while sharing laughs and having fun.

If you are new to my classes and want to join, DM me or type YOGA into the comments, and I will get you the link to sign up. We have a new 8-week series starting this Saturday. Everyone, including beginners, is welcome. Let's have fun together!

Best,
Christine
