Christine Stewart
Christine lives in Boyle with her family. She came to yoga while pregnant, too long ago to mention and was hooked. She has practised yoga for over 25 years and is eternally grateful to all her teachers.
Yoga is her way of life; Christine brings the practice to everybody in an accessible way, offering many variations of the method but still, each one is bringing the practitioner back home to live their best life, no matter what challenges life has presented.
She is a fully certified Anusara yoga teacher and iRest meditation teacher, as well as teaching prenatal yoga and hypnobirthing, yoga for women, yin teacher, restorative, chair yoga, and meditation.
Christine teaches yoga from the heart with a conscious effort to theme her classes around the cyclic Celtic and seasonal calendar.
She teaches classes, and hosts retreats, workshops, and yoga training in both Boyle and Inishbofin, where she can go deeper and explore all these both ancient and new practices with like-minded people.
She is currently studying to become an 850-hr certified yoga therapist with IAYT.
