Ep #48 – This too belongs w/ Christina Gagnier

Mmmmmm this is such a deep and nourishing episode with my lovely friend Christina . And this episode is highly relevant for the time that we’re living in right now. Christina is an honest, authentic human being and deeply shares from her heart and her personal experience and learnings. If you’re in Melbourne and you can get to her class (when studios open) then I highly recommend it!

Christina is a yoga teacher and movement facilitator. She has been moving, dancing, and practicing yoga for almost 20 years. As a teacher, she has facilitated experiences all over the world, including in Bali, Thailand, New Zealand, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Costa Rica, and the United States. As a yoga teacher, she has studied with a large variety of yogis from various lineages, such as Anusara, Embodied Flow, and with Marysia Do.

Christina believes that movement can unlock opportunities for self integration and, therefore, better connection to the external world. She believes that the body holds the opportunity for awakening. For her, movement has been instrumental in recognizing and shifting patterns that have prevented her from having greater freedom in her life. Through yoga and movement, she hopes to give people the tools to choose how they wish to shape their lives.

She is an ERYT 500 yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance who has been teaching since 2011. With more than 4500 classroom hours, she currently leads teacher trainings and mentoring programs throughout the world. She is also an Embodied Flow Somatic Movement Therapy through ISMETA and completing her certification in Biodynamic Craniosacral.
