Deep Stretch Yoga Flow (Session 3)

with Christina Krapf

Dec

Next session: December 1st to 22nd, 2023

$48 More Info

Restorative yoga postures and conscious breathing are used to create space within the body by getting deep into the connective tissues. Relieve tensions and heal pain while quieting down the mind for inner peace by calming your nervous system. A deep stretch restorative Yoga class is built for “any body”. It’s a perfect way to reset and relax for beginners and advanced Yogis. It is super nourishing and very healing. It’s also a much gentler approach to strengthening and lengthening the body. This is a practice of relaxation into the discomfort. A practice of letting GO!

About your instructor: After a spiritual awakening in the summer of 2011, Christina was drawn to the yoga studio & to meditation. She enjoyed each class so much that she kept going back to experience different types of yoga and different teachers. She has learned that relating to the teacher plays such a huge role in whether the class is of fulfillment or not. In 2014 Christina started working and training @ CorePower Yoga in San Diego California where she learned the benefits of Hot Yoga. This inspired her to get certified to teach through the studio where she received her 200 hour certification in Hot & Vinyasa Flow. Christina was also introduced to Yinki Yoga, a form of Yin or Restorative Yoga with the added benefits of Reiki Healing Energy. She was then inspired to study Reiki and receive certifications in levels 1, 2 & 3, as well as Yin Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga. Over the past 12 years she has mastered her yoga practice by incorporating it into her daily life on and off the mat. Her passion for yoga has literally changed her life in every way! She desires to share that with others looking to change theirs and to feel better within their bodies. After 20 years of being an all day standing hairdresser and having pain in her physical body, she experienced a huge relief both physically and mentally from her practices. She is very passionate about health & well being and would love to share her knowledge & wisdom with you on your mat!
