Christie led a beautiful meditative yoga retreat! She is a wonderful yoga teacher, explains and demonstrates the various yoga positions clearly, builds up to the more difficult positions throughout the routine and over the course of the retreat. Yosemite is a majestic and serene place to hold a retreat, with a good balance between the yoga and free time to hike, explore, and relax. Christie is down to earth, relatable, and knows her stuff. She created a warm, supportive group atmosphere that went beyond the yoga flow sessions, the sound healing, the restorative meditative yoga, to a sense of community in sharing delicious meals provided on site at the Yosemite bug and sharing stories. Christie was able to guide a diverse age and skill group where everyone felt good about their individual practices within the group.
