Christine has a unique and enticing view of what it means to practice yoga. Christine shared her story of being "found " by yoga when she was in her late 20's. She gives enormous credit to two of her mentors, Barbara Ulmer and Joanne Snow. They were the trailblazers bringing Yoga to Fort Wayne and to her individually. Barbara and Joanne were some of the first Yoga teachers along with Sharon Warren and Teresa Thorne to truly bring yoga to the city of Fort Wayne in the 1960's and 1970's and who inspired her yoga journey.
Christine believes that yoga finds you when you are ready .... She is passionate about meeting people where they are in their yoga journey. She understands her place is along side the student ; the beginning or continuing student. It is said, " When the student is ready; the teacher will appear." After years of practice under her mentor, she began to grow as a student. She became an apprentice and substitute teacher for classes. Her mentor, Joanne Snow , asked if she would consider becoming a yoga teacher, and it’s from there that Chill Yoga was born.
