Yoga:
My name is Christine and I am a local. I was born and raised in Chula Vista, CA.
My journey began as a yogi in 2015. Since then I have focused on developing both my physical and inner strength and deepening my spiritual practice.
I received my 200 RYT certification through Corepower Yoga's Power Teacher Training in Fall 2016. I teach beginning level power yoga and adapt postures and sequences through adjustments according to my students' abilities.

I also hold my Neo Zen Reiki practitioner certification where I received my abilities from Anand Ashram in Ubud, Bali Summer 2017. I also practice meditation and can implement techniques in our practice.

Language Learning:
I have taught ESL (English as a Second Language) to all language levels, beginning ages 8 to adults. I lived in Spain where I worked in public high schools, English summer camps and with adults as a language teacher from 2010-2013. I received my CELTA (TEFL equivalent) certification from International House in Barcelona, Fall 2012. Since then, I have taught adult ESL learners both English and Vocational ESL.

I also tutor and teach beginning to intermediate level Spanish.
I hold a B.S. in Ethnic Studies and currently work in the non-profit sector. In my free time, I enjoy not only using my additional skills to assist others in their personal growth but deepen my practice in yoga, sing and play the piano.
I enjoy witnessing my students thrive in their growth and learning. I am passionate about sharing my experiences with my students and helping develop their skills.
