Do you resonate with the following statements:

  • I’ve been practicing yoga for awhile but still feel like there is something missing in my practice.

  • I want to really understand the poses, the best way to do them, for safety and benefit, and why teachers cue a certain way.

  • I want to learn more about the aspects of Yoga that are rarely taught in general public classes like the history, philosophy, mindfulness, and meditation aspects.

  • I LOVE yoga and I LOVE to learn!

  • I want to commit to my personal growth and learn tools to find more peace and connection with myself and others around me.

  • I’m thinking of becoming a teacher but I’m really not sure OR....

  • I've taken a 200hr. Yoga Teacher training course but my previous training was lacking in some way and I need a fresher..

If so, you’ve found the right place and I’m so happy that you’re here.

I’m Christina Raskin and Yoga is my passion! I’ve been teaching Yoga for 20 years. I practised for 3 years before I really committed to myself and dove deeper into the many aspects of the practice from alignment to philosophy. Once I committed to myself, my life and practice exploded. Yoga has been by my side for over 20 years and it has helped me to find more peace, joy and a better connection to my inner wisdom.

  • From this course you will:

    Learn how your body is unique and how to align the poses for you so you get the benefits out of the pose and minimize risk. Refine your physical practice and gain a deeper understanding of why we do the things we do. Discover Pranayama (breathing practices), why we do them and the benefits.

See what past students are saying.....

“Before being introduced into the idea that poses will be look and feel unique in all bodies, because of skeletal variation, I was NEVER comfortable in Vira 2. I ignored what I was feeling in my body. Taking skeletal variation into account, all of a sudden finding this pose, and so many other poses in my unique body, became possible (it) blew my mind and the journey and the “practice” (became) so much more meaningful.”
