Ahimsa Yoga By Cristin Shea

I hadn’t stepped foot in a yoga class in a few months. This was the perfect way to jump back into it.

Cristin is a fantastic Yoga instructor. She has a wonderfully soft quality to her teaching but this is not to say her classes are easy. I find myself always challenged to push to another level yet never to go beyond what my body is telling me. I have done Vinyasa Yoga with many teachers and since discovering her several years ago found her classes to be a perfect balance for me of challenging but not too hard charging Vinyasa yoga. She explains the poses in concise manner where I always feel like I know where I am and what I should be doing next. She is one of the rare teachers that gives instructions that allows beginners, intermediate and advanced students to progress at the level that feels appropriate. She mixes up the class so no one class every feels like a copy of the last. I cannot recommend Cristin highly enough I look forward to each and every class I take with her!

I love Cristin’s classes! ! I leave feeling much better not only in my physical body, but
my emotional and spiritual bodies as well. That is one of Cristin’s many gifts, bringing
together the mind, body and spirit. I just completed a week-​end retreat with her,
and I left feeling whole, integrated, and strong. I can’t recommend her enough!

Cristin is an awesome teacher! She breaks down the poses so that all levels understand them. She also has a respectful way of allowing students to go deeper into their practice without feeling pressured. Try her class, you will love it!

Just had my first yoga class with Cristen after not doing any yoga since 2006 and I feel AMAZING!!! I feel like my entire body has opened up, especially my frozen shoulder that I have been troubled with for several years now. Cristen guided me through the poses and helped position me properly to get the full effect of the pose/​stretch. I feel more rejuvenated than I have in a long time! I am now a huge fan and will be back, often!

Cristin is an excellent yoga instructor. She brings a vast amount of yoga expertise to her classes, coupled with a happy and very supportive attitude, that makes it clear that Cristin loves yoga and loves helping her clients get a great workout. The pace of her classes is perfect, never too fast to allow you to enjoy the poses, never racing from one pose to another. Cristin helps her clients with the nuances of each pose, making sure that you understand the how’s and why’s of each pose, thereby optimizing the strength and flexibility benefits of the pose without injury. Cristin brings a calming and centering spirituality to her classes, that leaves me ready to take on the challenges of my day much easier. Cristin’s classes are truly a treat for the body and spirit.

Cristin teaches an amazing yoga class. She leads you through tough poses and gets you sweating but keeps you present through out class with her gentle voice. Great teacher!

I love Cristin at Ahimsa Yoga! She does a fantastic job explaining and modeling poses, and her personality is very warm and nurturing. Her classes are a great workout and really fun.
