Christina LaMarca has been teaching yoga since June 2009 when she completed her 200 hour teacher training with her mentor Tami Schneider. She also completed 60 hours of intensive training with Jonny Kest in 2011. She began the study of yoga in 1999 while in massage therapy school. Massage and Yoga are a perfect combination of mind, body, and spirit. Having a background in massage therapy helps her connect and be more sympathetic to her students. “My classes are entertaining, challenging, accessible, and encouraging. My hope is that every student leaves my class feeling accomplished and supported.” Yoga doesn’t have to be serious. The deeper message of yoga is revealed, even if there is fun music, movie quotes, or discussions about Christina’s favorite subject, colon health.
Christina’s balance in life comes from her incredible husband Michael, their amazing baby, Francesca, and their loud Italian families. “They keep me grounded and constantly serve as a reminder of what’s important.” Christina feels fortunate to have so many wonderful people in her life. She has practiced with and been guided by an amazing group of teachers, including Jonny Kest, Kathryn Budig, Tami Schneider, Parker Bean, Marni Task, Terri Bahr, Ted Lardner, and the rest of the CY teachers.
