My fitness journey started at 16 with weightlifting, but once I discovered Pilates, it was love at first pulse. The mind-body connection and that unbeatable post-class shake completely hooked me! Now, as a Pilates instructor, I get to share this amazing workout with others, helping them feel strong, centered, and unstoppable. When I’m not instructing, I love seeing friends and going for long walks with my dogs!

Christina, born and raised in Sarasota, is honored to share yoga with the students of Hot Yoga Sarasota! She took her first yoga class at 16 with her mom and rediscovered it in college to manage stress and find balance. Experiencing its benefits, she dove deeper, completing her RYT-200 training at Joyful Yoga & Spa in 2015 after graduating from FGCU. Since then, Christina has taught students of all ages in gyms, senior living facilities, schools, corporations, and studios. A favorite milestone was co-leading a retreat in Nosara, Costa Rica (2023 & 2025). Her mission: make yoga accessible, fun, and empowering for everyone!
