• Who is welcome? A special focus of these classes is to be a safe, welcoming space for all bodies, ages, abilities, genders, and shapes. Yoga practice is suitable not only for those with experience but also for those without any.
• What should I expect in a class? The classes are taught in English. They follow the Yama (Ahimsa: non violence) of Patanjali's writing in Yoga Sutras and the practice of Hatha Yoga based on some influences by Nidra and Vinyasa Yoga. Sometimes there will be music, sometimes not. Above all, Christina focuses on how to listen to your own bodies, how to ground yourself, how to accept your limits which could change regularly, and how to trust your own process by encouraging you not to make any comparisons with people, since everyone has a different connection with their body.
