“Practicing yoga with Christina has touched my life in the most positive way. Christina has a deep understanding of yoga practice and is extremely knowledgeable about body mechanics, exercise, and nutrition. She is compassionate and encouraging and is always available for questions and concerns. Christina is aware of my strengths and my limitations. Though I am a jogging enthusiast, my core still needs tightening and my muscles need stretching. During every session, Christina recognizes where I am mentally and physically and tailors the practice for what I need that day. Not only am I improving in my strength and flexibility, I am feeling happier and healthier as a whole person!”

“I was reluctant for years of yoga; mainly shying away from large, studio classes, because I knew I wasn’t going to get the attention needed to improve. The small class sizes, intimate studio, coupled with Christina’s willingness to adapt to the students on hand; rather than teaching to the masses from the front of the room, have made Balance Yoga a great fit for me. Highly recommend the Thai Yoga Sessions. A relaxing experience that leaves you energized. If you are some weary of traditional massages, you’ll love her Thai sessions.”

“Although I have been active throughout my life, as I have aged, I have become increasingly less flexible. I contacted Christina Zimmerman to see if yoga would help me with my flexibility. As a beginner, I need someone with patience and special expertise to create a plan. Christina has been very helpful in making yoga fun yet challenging. I have started to feel my posture improve and my flexibility increase. I still have a long way to go but she will get me there. She is very professional and her studio is always clean and inviting. Don’t tell anyone but she does not charge enough.”

“After many years of practicing yoga, I have found my favorite space at Balance Yoga Studio, in Christina’s 5am class. 5 am. . . I know, it’s crazy! It is an amazing way to start the day as it’s fun, hard work, and totally invigorating. There’s something kindred about the people who share the space at 5am, we work hard, encourage each other and laugh constantly. I have not met a teacher who has as much overall knowledge as Christina. It amazes me every single time she mechanically breaks down a pose to tell me why it is or is not working for my body and what to do to remedy that. Many areas of my practice are improved thanks to Christina’s awareness of what my body needs to do (or not do just because it can).
She watches your practice that carefully! Christina will gently strengthen your practice through knowledge, thoughtfulness and humor.”

“I thought I knew yoga before I stepped into Christina’s class…….What I knew was a one-size-fits all sequence, a great workout. Christina was able to help me fine tune my practice with individual attention and tutoring during class. She helped me reach the point where I was able to see my practice as unique, a part of who I am. Yoga can be functional or transformative. If you want transformative, let Christina teach you!”

“Christina is a very skilled teacher who gives personal attention to every member of the class. I would very highly recommend her studio for beginners as well as advanced students; every class is different and the atmosphere is casual, which is exactly what I want early in the morning! As a semi-experienced yogi, I love to go classes for the energy of the group. At Christina’s studio you will get this, plus a level of instruction that I would only expect in a private lesson.”
