500 hour level, she continues her primary studies with
Lucia Tucci DiPalo, her teacher since 2002.
Christine holds a BFA in Dance from Adelphi University

proper alignment, while the latter sparked an interest
in the deep connections to be found between Psychology
and yogic philosophy. She firmly believes that all
