My name is Christen.
I’m the creator of Be Content Yoga, and a Level 2 Reiki Practitioner.
I enjoy connecting with those new and experienced yogis. I offer private yoga sessions in person for local clients, and virtually for clients who live in different areas or prefer that format.
When I’m not practicing yoga, I enjoy spending time with my family, being out in nature, and feeding my thirst for astrology. I make sure to devote time to studying charts and learning new things about how the planets influence human behavior and life in general.
I created a career for myself working for non-profit organizations as a strategist, writer, and editor. I’m so excited that in addition to working as a company culture consultant, I’m also able to help people in another way — through the practice of yoga. Not just with asanas, but also in how we treat ourselves and one another (known as the Yamas and Niyamas). I’ve learned so much through the principles of yoga, and I believe my life has been better for it. I see this in how I show up for myself, how I show up for others, and how I show up on my yoga mat.
It’s part of the reason Be Content Yoga exists. Be Content Yoga is not just a fun name, it’s a way of life, based on the yoga principle Santosha, Sanskrit for contentment or satisfaction.
Santosha explores finding contentment from within, rather than seeking it externally — from other people, experiences, or things. I truly believe that striving to live a life of contentment is important, and that’s why my entire yoga practice is based on the concept.
Whether or not you can do a headstand, or touch your toes, there is still space for contentment in your yoga practice, and I’m here to help guide you through that.
