Chris is a dreamer, mindfulness practitioner, and a truth seeker. Who is rooted in authenticity, non-judgement, and unconditional love. Chris has been studying yoga and meditation since 2015. After an injury to the lower back, Yoga helped him to hold space for chronic pain and re-create his lifestyle. The way yoga shows up in his continued recovery keeps Chris’ practice focused on functional strength, stability, and mobility.
Chris balances being a teacher with being a student. After his injury, he began to pursue wellness-oriented programs which included a 200 hr. RYT at MetroWest Yoga (RYS affiliated), the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program taught by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. Chris is currently studying Immortal Arts Qi Gong under the guidance of Master Jesse Lee Parker. He has also studied with the Integrative Wellness Academy, Ace Personal Training, Precision Nutrition, and an ICF Accredited coaching program at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC).
These programs have helped Chris transform his life after breaking two bones in his lower back. This injury catalyzed change and created the opportunity for Chris to embody the teachings and education at a cellular level. The less stress he experiences in life, the less pain he experiences. Chris weaves this wisdom throughout the class and creates the space for you to explore your practice with curiosity, love, and compassion.
