About Me

I believe movement can change the way we meet life.

I’m Christal, a yoga teacher, movement guide and sound practitioner.

Yoga has been my foundation for over 20 years. It has carried me through many different seasons of life, motherhood, love, loss, change and new beginnings, and it continues to be one of the places I return to again and again.

These days, my practice is less about perfecting a pose and more about listening.

I work with yoga, movement, breath, dance, sound and stillness to help people reconnect with their bodies, their own inner knowing and their natural expression.

I’m especially interested in how the body can support us through change, helping us become more present, creative, open and connected, both in our lives and in the way we meet others.

I offer yoga, embodied movement and sound experiences for studios, private groups, retreats and workplaces.

For companies, I create simple embodied practices that help people pause, reset and return to work feeling more present, clear and connected.

And sometimes I offer movement simply because it feels good and it connects us.

This is the space I’m creating.

My Work

My Approach

Everything moves. Change is inevitable.  We can learn how to be fluid and move with it rather than against it.

My work is rooted in yoga and shaped by years of study in somatics, embodiment, nervous system awareness, meditation and yoga philosophy. I combine these with movement, breath, dance and sound to create practices that help us slow down, listen and reconnect with ourselves.

For me, this is not about doing more or becoming someone different. It is about becoming more present to what is already here, and creating enough space to respond to life with greater clarity, creativity, connection and freedom.

I work with individuals, groups and workplaces, creating spaces where people can pause, come back into their bodies and meet whatever is happening with more presence and possibility.

My training

I am a 500-hour Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher with many additional hours of training in somatics and embodiment. My studies have included extensive work with yoga philosophy, meditation, the nervous system, polyvagal theory, somatic practices and trauma-informed approaches.

I have been deeply influenced by teachers including Satu Tuomela, Evy Ferraro and Chelan Freeman, as well as many other teachers, practitioners and writers whose work continues to shape my practice.

Yoga remains my foundation. My continued study keeps the work alive.
