Christina Maniccia - E-RYT 500 Kripallu Yoga Teacher

Description

When I went to Kripalu Teacher Training in 1999, my intention was to help my body heal.  I had been to many drs. and no one could tell me why I was loosing strength in the left side of my body.  When I graduated after a month long intensive, I knew I could not keep this wonderful secret to myself.  I try to help my students learn about their bodies, minds and Spirits as they learn yoga.  I teach a theraputic style that is slower paced, uses alot of props and breath.  I encourage everyone to listen to their bodies and to move at their own pace.  My greatest joy is when someone comes to me and says "look at this I can ........., I couldn't do that until I came to yoga". 

Theraputic Focus

Yoga for Depression, Yoga for Cancer, Yoga for Arthritis, Chair Yoga
