Sweet Yoga Instructor

Christine Farnandis, ERYT has taught yoga since 2004 with accreditation from Yoga Alliance.  She built and opened Sweet Yoga in 2009. She has degrees in Human Development and Family Studies, Women’s Studies and Social Work. Along with teaching yoga, she works as a hospice social worker in the community.

Christine started practicing yoga in 1999 after experiencing intense back pain. Yoga taught her to slow down, take care of herself and trust in the process of healing. She recognizes this as a lifelong process that works best in community with others. 

Her other interests have included cooking, animals, sports, movies and travel, especially trips to the Oregon Coast. Originally from the Baltimore area, she has lived in Oregon for over 20 years.  She feels blessed by life and looks forward to meeting other yogis for years to come!
