A lover of outdoor yoga, espresso and arm balances, Christina is the owner of Rooted Yoga, founded in November 2021. She is an E-RYT500 teacher with a training background in Ashtanga, Yin and Nidra. She believes in the power of yoga as a tool to create a space for body, mind and spirit to become a more balanced part of our everyday lives. Her classes offer grounding meditations and all levels sequences to unify body, breath and mind, often pulling from other areas of interest such as 5 element/TCM, reiki, massage and other trainings. She teaches group, private and corporate event classes. Her favorite yoga poses are lizard variations, chaturangas and “climb on yoga” created by her little one.

Christina is also a reiki master and certified in Hawaiian style lomilomi massage and offers both at her sister studio: Breath & Bone Reiki, deeply believing that holistic healing modalities help shift people’s energy for their highest wellbeing.

A lover of the beach, the sun and supporting local artists, she believes in this community and bringing yoga and healing to all who want to be here. Yoga is for everyone!

Angel is a North Carolina native, who moved to Vermont in 2019. Yoga is her happy place, and where she finds calm and relaxation in an otherwise hectic world. She has been a yoga practitioner for many years and has been teaching since 2017. She works as a college career counselor, and in her spare time can be found cheering on her son and husband on the soccer field.

Angel's philosophy is that yoga is for everyone! If a pose doesn't work for you, let's find an alternative. Her classes always offer options and freedom to explore what works best for your body. She is certified in yin yoga and enjoys teaching a variety of yoga styles; most often vinyasa and slow flow.

Christine has called the Rooted Yoga space her home studio for years as a practitioner and a teacher. The community holds a special place in her heart.

Christine completed Rise + Vibe 200 hour YTT in June of 2020. She became a certified Chair Yoga teacher in 2021 and completed Yoga for All training in 2022. She also teaches Restorative classes.

Christine's classes are lighthearted and focus on connecting with breath and gentle movement. She believes in accepting our bodies where they are and adapting yoga accordingly. Christine loves using props as well as hip and heart openers.

Callie’s passion for yoga began when she realized taking care of her physical, mental, and spiritual health are interconnected and integral pieces of survival. Callie first started practicing yoga in 2014, but did not develop a consistent practice until 2017. At the beginning of the New Year in 2019, Callie’s intuition called her to sign up for a 200-hour yoga teacher training with Rachel Brathen at Island Yoga in Aruba. Callie was selected after an extensive application process and completed the training in November of 2019, with 51 other individuals from all over the world. Callie holds a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and is currently completing her Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her dharma, or life's mission, is helping others along their journey to healing, and she believes that yoga is one of the many tools we can use to go deeper and discover what our souls are calling for.
