“I was new to yoga when I started my practice with Christine Janak. She met me where I was, gently challenged me to see what my body could do, and has fostered my physical, emotional, and spiritual strength. Working with Christine is like engaging in cognitive restructuring therapy because she helps transform self-judgment into deepened self-respect. My body, mind, and spirit are grateful.”

“Christine is a kind compassionate, and thoughtful teacher. She does a wonderful job of considering one’s own ability and capacity for challenge. Christine’s love of the beauty of our bodies helped me embrace the greatness of my own body and what it can do!

“Christine really meets people where they are at. I always felt empowered to listen to my body and I never felt shame practicing at the level that worked for me. She even introduced my children to yoga and was very patient and encouraging with them.”

“Christine gives great adjustments and helpful tweaks to make sure you get the most out of your practice. She is gifted at all forms of yoga, whether you’re looking for something restorative or a work out.”

“Christine is one of the most encouraging and attentive instructors I've ever had. Each session is tailored to my personal goals and helps me to grow in grounded-ness and confidence.”

“Christine brings both an energizing and peaceful atmosphere as she leads yoga. She makes sure your wants and needs for the practice are centered, and invites space for smiling and contemplating. Always a refreshing and empowering experience.”

“Christine is a supportive and kind teacher. Her directions are easy to follow and her classes are always informative. Every time I take a class with Christine, I learn something new that I can carry through my week. Christine is also a great virtual teacher! As part of a focus on mental health for my youth group, Christine has taught several virtual yoga classes. She helped youth and adult leaders that were new to yoga try it out for the first time but also added some elements to our classes for more advanced yogis. The classes were well attended and well-reviewed by my students.”

“I had been going to Yoga Classes for years. Little did I know I was not optimizing my time on the mat. One hour with Christine and I had done yoga in a way that felt so fresh, new and specific to my needs—and all done virtually, too.”

“Christine is skilled at yoga and teaching others the practice. She does a great job of modeling positions and demonstrating or assisting with adjustments to enhance your practice. I had a wonderful time as a brand new practitioner. I didn’t feel nearly as awkward about it as I anticipated when she convinced me to give classes a try. I felt assistance rather than judged for my extreme novice status.”

“I’ve loved working with Christine! I’ve been practicing yoga for a few years, but Christine has helped me interpret the positions in new ways so I can get the most out of my daily practice, both mentally and physically. She offers kind and thoughtful intentions at the beginning of class and I always feel more relaxed by the end. A great way to start or end the day!”

“I hated yoga before practicing with Christine. She listened to my fears and met me where I was at in my body. She is encouraging and has helped me grow in mind, body, and spirit. Now I look forward to my time on the mat with Christine as my guide!”
