Christine Ditri

Yoga has been an important part of Christine’s life as a spiritual, physical, and mental health practice since her teenage years. While working on her master’s degree in counseling psychology Christine began to study the effects of meditation, pranayama (breath work), and asanas (postures) on the symptoms of mental health patients. Working with another counselor and yoga instructor, Christine began to incorporate hatha yoga into group therapy sessions with adolescent boys and was pleased at the subsequent peace and reduction in symptoms for her clients. Upon moving from Boston to New Orleans, Christine decided to deeper her own personal practice while also learning to share yoga with others by training with Ganga White and Tracy Rich at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, California. Christine believes that yoga is for every body and emphasizes connecting the breath with movement while playfully challenging yourself! She is very proud to be the Yoga Aid Community Ambassador and to help New Orleans make a difference through yoga!!!
