Student Testimonial

"Christopher has a way of looking directly into you and, with just his eyes, make you feel safe and supported to be vulnerable enough to dive deeply into your truth. Christopher lovingly guides others to question the world and themselves with a gentle ferocity that beckons the veiled truth from under years of stories and misperceptions. I felt that my time at Yandara was more than an intelligently designed 300-Hour training program. I felt my weeks with Christopher were an un-domestication process to peel back the layers of my reality until I was left with a pure connection with who I truly am. This process, however emotional at times, felt less like a struggle and more like being welcomed home with the love and gentle support Christopher presented in his masterful inquiry. I left Yandara with confidence, clarity and joy in my heart. The impact and lessons continue to unfold within me, both physically and internally on the mat and out in life. I am honored to call Christopher my teacher and forever grateful for the support he provides along my path." Sarah Kadel, E-RYT, YACEP®, ACSM CPT" One of Christopher's many gifts is in holding space for supportive communities to heal, connect and grow together. Even when it comes to advancing my physical yoga practice, his lighthearted nature seems to invoke a sense of ease and trust that helps me move beyond my fears. His big smile that shines straight from the heart didn't hurt either!" - Mary Tilson, Yoga+Wellness director of Travel+Leisures #1 Hotel in the World
