Christa Janine

Christa Janine, 500hr RYT | 200hr E-RYT, is a health and wellness professional who has been teaching yoga since 2012. Since then she has launched a successful virtual fitness studio hosting private and sold-out group classes weekly, a life coaching business running group and individual programs, and several workshops for yoga study and business. 

As a life coach, Christa helps women heal from their past trauma and establish a self-designed narrative for their lives.
As a yoga instructor & a digital fitness coach her main focus through social media, and business overall, is to encourage & empower others to live their most authentic lives by creating their own narrative for their futures.

Additionally, Christa has navigated the yoga and fitness industry for over 8 years in many markets throughout North America and discovered a lack of diversity and inclusion. She experienced not only herself but fellow BIPOC being passed over for promotions, class times, and formats and being questioned about their teaching experience from students. Identifying as a change agent and an individual who believes in equality in all spaces, she now focuses energy on educating individuals and companies on the importance of Diversity & Inclusion in the yoga and fitness space.
