Thanks Christie!" - Erin, Ottawa, Be Well in Your Body participant
"As part of our unit on Hinduism, Christie took our class through a short demonstration of Yoga and its spiritual underpinnings. She was professional, entertaining and very informative.

“I would like to express how much the students benefited from your teaching: use of the breath, only to stretch as much as our bodies allow, not to force, and one of the most important points of all, movement, especially Aikido, to keep your body and joints centered and in line. Mindfulness, meditation and proper hydration should be an integral part of every life, every day.” Joseph Capogreco Aikido Teacher
"Attending Christie’s corporate yoga class is a joy every week. Christie delivers a fine balance of strength, stretching and mindfulness. She teaches you how to engage your mind, body and soul to achieve harmony in your life." - David, NRCan Corporate Yoga participant
"I really enjoy Christie’s approach to yoga. She creates a very calm space without any sense of ‘competition’ among participants. She encourages us to respect our bodies by never forcing a position and by ‘listening’ to what the body needs. She emphasizes the benefit of a pose no matter how you manage to achieve it. She also helps each person make adjustments needed to accommodate any physical issue they may have. Her classes are like an oasis in the middle of a hectic work week!" - Anonymous, NRCan Corporate Yoga participant
"I’ve been fortunate enough to have Christie conduct a noon-hour yoga session once a week over the past few months, either in our boardroom or outside on the lawn when the weather permits. It’s one of the highlights of my work week – a chance to focus on my breathing, refocus, readjust and set the course for the rest of the week. I appreciate how Christie gently helps me on a number of occasions to correct my form and accomplish the intended stretch. Already looking forward to the next session!" - Stephan, NRCan Corporate Yoga participant
"Christiane has been my yoga mentor for over a year, and she has taught me to be in tune with my body! With her experience in Therapeutic Yoga, as well as Reiki, she teaches everyone to work within their individual capabilities and how to modify each move to their best benefit. Christiane teaches you to listen to your body and how to do each pose best modified to your strengths and limitations. Out of all the many yoga teachers I've ever had, Christiane has taught me best how to do each pose without any strain or pain, and optimally suited to my specific needs. She is an exemplary instructor and guide, fulfilling my passion for the art of yoga." - Yen, March 2017

I highly recommend her!" (*Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign) Juanita Inglese (HRB/CBSA)
"I participated in both the yoga and meditation classes as part of our Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign.

As a former public servant, Christie knows how hectic it can be, and her knowledge and experience provided definite benefits to the group." Lisa Carpinteiro (HRB/CBSA)

"Christie is a wonderful yoga teacher who offers sequences that are challenging, safe and that help to keep students present during class.

"I am so pleased to have discovered Christie’s yoga classes at my local community centre. The classes are wellness-focused and Christie gives a variety of options to accommodate each individual’s needs. We learn something new and interesting every week. After each class I feel so relaxed, much more limber, and a lot less stressed. Thank you Christie!" - Judy, Community Centre participant
"Breath-work. Body awareness. Alignment. Mindfulness. Meditation. Relaxation. These are some words that describe a class led by Christie. She is a knowledgeable and excellent yoga instructor. I have attended numerous classes over the years and am so happy to have come across Christie whose teaching approach expands and enriches my practice. Leading all her classes in an informative way, she isolates the important aspects of each pose. She gives everyone permission to follow the feel of their own body and to honour its capabilities. This results in moving correctly and deeply into the various positions thus reaping the true benefits of a yoga practice. I always leave Christie’s class feeling more grounded while at the same time lighter. Thank you, Christie!" - Darlene, Community Centre participant
"I searched a long time for the right yoga teacher and finally found Christiane. I've now been practicing with her for about 3 years. As a yoga teacher, she is ever mindful of how you move and position your body, and stresses supporting your body when you need it and focusing on doing only what your body can comfortably do. Her class is about your personal practice, your needs in that moment. (…) I have learned many helpful hints from her about how to relieve stress and pain in my body. One helpful position that has helped me with my asthma is the Pranic Bath stretch which opens your ribs and your lungs and helps you to breathe better. As Christiane says, anyone can do yoga. Believe her." - Joan, Community Centre participant
'Working with Christie has really been a wonderful experience. Her passion, knowledge and commitment to her craft inspires nothing but confidence. Add awesome sessions and great results, both of which she consistently delivers, and you have a perfect blend and a talented instructor. Christie has a capacity to create the right session for the right moment and is mindful to take into consideration not only what you have told her with words, but also what your body is saying. I would highly recommend any yoga experience with Christie, but the private sessions are worth the commitment." - Antoine, private group yoga participant
“I started taking private yoga classes from Christie over two years ago. I have benefited tremendously from it. I feel more calm and centered, and more active and agile. Christie is a very patient, detail-oriented and cheerful teacher, making adjustments and modifications wherever necessary. Her incorporation of meditation and mantras I find very meaningful and enjoyable. Also she has helped me improve my flexibility and balance and focus since I started classes with her. ... Overall, I find Christie to be an excellent yoga teacher who is motivating and encouraging.” - Jaya, private solo session participant
“I took Therapeutic Yoga classes with Christie after each of my chemotherapy treatments. The combination of gentle movement, breathing techniques and relaxation helped me to manage side effects, sleep better and heal quicker.” - Amanda, Therapeutic Yoga, private session
"J'adore les cours groupe privé de Christie car elle est à l'écoute de nos besoins individuels. Elle prend le temps d'expliquer les movements, de répondre à nos questions et surtout de nous mettre à l'aise tout au long du cours. Son expertise en yoga thérapeutique m'aide à guérir mes blessures physiques et sa bonne humeur à apaiser mon esprit. C'est une magnifique personne et une fantastique professeure de yoga!" - Mélissa, cours privé en groupe
"Our kids LOVE the private family yoga class we have with Christie. They are 6 and 8 and they are very engaged physically, mentally and spiritually in the class.
