Hi! I’m Christie DiStefano

(and that’s Phil)

 

The practices of yoga, meditation and energy work have helped me shift from simply existing and meeting expectations to feeling and thriving.  They have enabled me to move out of a constant state of fight or flight into an experience of self regulation. Getting to share this practice with others every single day is truly a gift

With over 5,000 hours of live teaching experience, my goal is to provide each student with the tools to access an awareness of what is presently happening in such a way that allows them to make the best choices for themselves in each moment. My experience over the past 13 years has led to deep reflection and study of my own intuition. Those personal efforts along with over 750 hours of formal training allow me to confidently lead offerings unique and tailored to the students present.

I teach in a way that allows you to connect with your own intuition/energy through an experience of practices.
