I am very pleased to share the credentialing designations I have gained as an E-RYT 200 and YACEP. I have worked hard for these and am thankful for the family, friends, and colleagues who have supported me along the journey.

The E-RYT 200 designation is for Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher who has completed a 200 hour teaching program with 1000 hours logged of teaching time. Thank you to my students who I have worked with to earn this.

The YACEP designation is for Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider. This will allow me to teach courses and workshops that will count as Continuing Education hours for other Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT). Grateful for the honor to teach other teachers.

You can attend private sessions, classes, and workshops with me starting next month at Optimum Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab. Follow their page and stay connected with me for info to come.

Believe in yourself. Pursue the things which bring you joy with a passion. Have faith.

Practice. Practice. All is coming. 🙏🏼

Anything is possible.

First headstand post head on collision recovery. Feeling strong and centered.

If you have followed my story, you know I have been through so much the past 9 months. Challenges come. This is life. But remember, you’re just passing through.

Stoke the fire. Keep the flame lit.
Never stay down.
Unless it’s upside down 😉

Along my journey everyone wants to know, “Christin, what have you done? What’s your secret?” I hate to tell you, it’s not one thing. The body is a complex organism, the mind is multi-dimensional, and the soul is all-encompassing.

If I had to point to the biggest catalyst for change it would have to be: Overcoming my addictive behaviors on the day to day. In 2014 I turned my life upside down to purge toxic relationships. This allowed me to start the journey. I stopped smoking September 2018, I haven’t had a drink since February 2020, and started changing my relationship with food then. After 7 surgeries in my life and living with chronic pain, I no longer take prescription pain medication. Everyday I am careful where and with whom I spend my energy, and I try to balance work and restore.

Addiction creates mind/body/soul imbalance, and this leads to a lifestyle that fosters ailments and disease. Addiction comes in many forms. Some are obvious and some not the usual, therefore, sneakier than you think. Some are:

Alcohol addiction
Drug addiction (recreational, illegal, & pharmaceutical)
Work addiction.
S*x addiction
Food addiction
Exercise addiction
Approval/People Pleasing addiction
Shopping addiction
Digital addiction
Gambling addiction

Radical self-inquiry. Doing the work. Constantly doing the work. Relentlessly seeking the knowledge. Forever hungry for the evolution that leads to freedom. Breaking chains and blockages. Knowing you have suffered enough. These drivers make it possible with support and the Grace of God.

Transformation IS NOT ABOUT weight loss.
It’s about stoking the inner fire and living again.

Let the recovery begin.

Adding more injury to my list on top of the 3 I have prior, and their bi-products, was not on my list of goals. Neither was being hit by a driver who ran a red light.

Being set back on my training schedule was not on that list, either. Although I feel like I have gone backwards, wasted time (those of you who train/are going through transformations/are chasing goals like I am feel this) I keep reminding myself to trust the process.

Stay focused.
Remain dedicated to recovery.
Keep my vibes high.
Give myself grace.

Whatever your challenge is - I’m reminding you to do the same.

A smile is your outright rebellion to all challenges.

Resilience is your revenge.

Back in the gym for yoga practice since my head on collision in November. I have been following a careful recovery process. No lifting yet, but I will get there.

The come back is always greater than the set back.
