Christina

TEACHING PERSONALITY

I'm generally upbeat and authentic. I am a cheerleader, but I wouldn't describe myself as peppy. I'm down to earth and practical.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Move or die! I'm all about exercise to feel great NOW, but I'm really inspired by helping people keep their bodies moving as they age. I want 80 to feel pretty good. I am also very intrigued by the mental aspect of our health, how we speak to ourselves inside our heads is incredibly important, and also how we can use our brains to get more life out of each day by staying tuned-in.

Christina instructs the following:
  • REFORMER: Burn

    • Lagree-Inspired | High-Intensity | Full-Body Burn

    This athletic-style reformer class blends the precision of Pilates with the intensity of Lagree-inspired movement. Expect slow, controlled reps with minimal rest, targeting every major muscle group for maximum time under tension. Great for those who want a challenging, sweat-inducing workout that tones, strengthens, and pushes your limits. Not ideal for beginners or those with injuries.


  • PI:YO SCULPT
    • Pilates and Yoga go together like peas and carrots. If strengthening, sculpting and flexibility is what you're craving - look no further. This low-impact, upbeat, fun class will have you feeling the burn in no time with the perfect blend of two potent fitness modalities. PLUS you'll finish with that oh-so-wonderful few minutes of final relaxation to set your day up with purpose and intention. 

  • REFORMER: Classic
    • Stott-Inspired | Balanced | All Levels Welcome

    Our Classic Reformer class follows the contemporary Stott Pilates approach, emphasizing core strength, alignment, and fluid movement. Each instructor brings a unique blend of creativity and training, offering modifications and challenges to suit a variety of levels. Whether you’re new to Pilates or a seasoned practitioner, this is a great place to build strength and improve body awareness.


  • VINYASA FLOW YOGA
    • Vinyasa means “flow”—the beautiful connection of movement and breath. In this class, you’ll flow through sequences at a moderate-to-fast pace that’ll help you release tension and reconnect to your body and mind. Whether you're looking to sweat it out or find your center, our instructors will guide you through a practice that makes the most of your 50 minutes, leaving you feeling refreshed, focused, and energized. Ready to flow?  Let's go!
