Christina has been practicing, studying, teaching and loving yoga extensively for the past 20 years. Her passion and hunger for more thorough, traditional yogic practices and knowledge led her to Koh Phangan, Thailand, where she completed a Chakra Yoga Teacher Training under the brilliant and inspirational guidance of David Goulet and Marina Hallerman in 2004.

In Thailand Christina was exposed to a different way of living (Asian and yogic, mental and physical) and was set on a path that continues to challenge, fulfill and enormously inspire her.

She stayed in Asia in order to seek out diverse Eastern practices, philosophies, religions and traditions while teaching and living in Thailand (1.5 years), Maldives (4 months), Bhutan (2 years), Bali (3+ years) and is currently based in Italy while continuing to teach multiple yoga retreats around the world in collaboration with her New York based yoga teacher sister, Andrea Curry. Her teaching influence comes directly from her life experience, her travels, her many teachers, her students and her interpretation and personal devotion and love for the practice.
For over 5 years Christina worked in some of the worlds leading hotels and award winning health retreats which integrate yogic practices with a wellness team that includes Ayurvedic Doctor’s, Nutritionists, Massage Therapists, Energy Healing Masters, Exercise Physiologists, Pilates experts and Nurse Practitioners. She has had the advantage of teaching practitioners of all levels, abilities and backgrounds, which makes her a very well rounded and accessible teacher.

Christina has completed Teacher Trainings with Pyramid Yoga (Hatha yoga), Ana Forrest (Forrest Yoga, Noah Maze (Iyengar yoga) and The White Lotus Foundation (Vinyasa yoga) and has helped organize and participated in yoga retreats with David Swenson, David Williams, Erich Schiffman, David Life, Sharon Gannon, Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman Yee, Sara Powers, Ty Powers, Noah Maze and many other inspiring and talented teachers and healers.
Christina’s teaching style is primarily inspired by Vinyasa, Iyengar, Hatha, Restorative and Forrest Yoga, with an enthusiastic emphasis and exploration of pranayama, meditation, yogic lifestyle and philosophy. Her spirited and knowledgeable approach comes across in her intuitive, creative, challenging yet therapeutic classes.

She is deeply grateful for the knowledge she continues to receive from her teachers, her students and her practice on and off the yoga mat.

ABOUT

I took my first yoga teacher training in Koh Phangan Thailand in 2004 with my sister Andrea. I had been practicing and loving yoga for 8 years at that point, and I was inspired to delve deeper into it. This first training filled me with the inspiration, skills and knowledge to create a passion-filled career, a healthy lifestyle, an expansive worldview and encouraged an evolution in consciousness. My journey has taken me around the world to teach, learn, marvel at and explore the U.S., Thailand, the Maldives, Bhutan, Bali, the Caribbean and now Italy where I am based.
Through my yoga practice, I experience liberation from mental and physical blocks, I embody health and vitality, I release stress and I live more consciously. I also feel connected and compassionate, and I am able to stay open to give and receive joy and love.

My practice is a conscious experience in breathing, practicing asana, meditating and moving with intention. My passion and commitment is to share this, so that people can continue to reach new depths in their practice and in their lives, just as I continue to do.
I encourage my students to be present in their practice by tuning into the depth of their breath and to accept what is, while paying attention to growth as it occurs. I continue to challenge myself and my students to move beyond perceived limitations, and to challenge fear as it comes up, so that we instead can choose to explore our infinite potential and love. My teaching continues to evolve as I do. My classes are inspired by dynamic Vinyasa, Anusara, Iyengar, Forrest, Restorative yoga, pranayama and meditation practices. I use many tools in order to work through various blockages and encourage people to return to a natural and authentic place of happiness and well-being.
I love helping to facilitate peace, happiness and self-actualization. Witnessing this powerful transformation truly fills me with joy.

Currently Christina lives in Milan, Italy with her husband and kids Giada and Lorenzo. She is teaching individuals or small groups privately in her home studio or in their homes and offices.  Christina teaches yoga retreats around the world with her sister Andrea who is a yoga teacher based in NYC.
