"I’m Christal, a yoga teacher and embodiment practitioner. In this space, we return to the body’s wisdom through dance, movement, and somatic practices. It's an invitation to trust your intuition, show up as your authentic self, and move through life with clarity and presence."
Hello, I’m Christal, an embodiment guide and somatic yoga teacher with a passion for dance and movement, currently splitting my time between Helsinki and Barcelona. My practice began over 20 years ago with a background in figure skating and dance, but it was in the wake of personal loss and deep life shifts that yoga truly became the tool for healing, transformation, and deep connection to myself.
Yoga became my refuge—a practice that held me through the storms of life, helping me reconnect with my body, my breath, and my inner wisdom. In these moments of surrender and vulnerability, yoga showed me that the answers I was seeking were already within me. This practice has since evolved into an embodied, intuitive, and playful journey—one that I am passionate about sharing with others.
"My practice is deeply intuitive, and while some might call it yoga, I think of it more as a living practice that evolves in different ways. Movement is how I connect to my truth, and music is the tool that carries me there. At times, it’s the quiet moments—the breath, the stillness—that hold the real magic."
I am a RYT 500-hour Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher with over 400 additional hours of embodiment and somatic studies. My trainings with incredible teachers such as Satu Tuomela, Evy Ferraro, and Chelan Freeman have inspired me to create a practice that is deeply rooted in the body, yet expansive in its potential for transformation. I have also studied the nervous system, somatic trauma therapy, energy medicine and traditional chinese medicine for years.
In my offerings, I incorporate a variety of healing tools—including sound healing, Traditional Chinese Medicine, astrology, human design, and somatic practices—to help support you in reconnecting with your true self. These modalities are not just theoretical to me; they have been instrumental in my own journey, helping me to release, heal, and step more fully into my power. I bring them into my classes and events to create a safe, nurturing space where you can explore, heal, and align with your higher truth.
Whether you're joining me for a class at K17 Yoga or Sweetspot Studio, booking a private session, or attending one of my co-created events, my goal is to guide you toward a life of authenticity, clarity, and embodiment. Together, we will uncover your innate wisdom, empowering you to live in alignment with your highest self and share that energy with the world.
