Testimonials

“I love Chrissy's classes. She creates a safe container to move, breathe, and rest. Her class was one of the only yoga classes I felt comfortable attending while I was healing from a serious injury. Chrissy encourages her students to listen to and honour the wisdom of their body. She has a grounding presence and I so admire her in-depth knowledge, especially of yoga philosophy, meditation and Ayurveda. Chrissy practices what she preaches and I so enjoy her accessible yet profound teachings."

“I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years and have always found the most important part for me is the instructor. Chrissy has the perfect voice and pace in every aspect of her yoga teaching. Chrissy has experience and understanding and flexibility. She easily modifies her program for injuries and is able to observe a large class and be aware of where everyone is in their practice. Her clear love for yoga is evident and genuine. I personally love Chrissy’s “Yoga for Healthy Joints” class. She has made a significant difference in my overall health and flexibility. Chrissy has also got a gift for teaching Yoga Nidra. She recognizes the importance of breath work and loves to share her enthusiasm for this and other more philosophical aspects of Yoga. Chrissy Lakusta is one of those special instructors that is a rare gem.”

“I struggle often on this path toward knowing my Self, falling down and feeling defeated, I find it hard to get back up sometimes. Chrissy reminds me to start again. She is generous with her patience and kindness, which is something that I often forget to show myself. 

Established in her own practice and self-study, she wisely asks questions that allow me to understand for myself how my old habits and patterns are interfering with the healthy life I want for me and my family.

Giving me time to integrate and establish change, Chrissy has guided me toward more conscious lifestyle choices; and I know she is teaching by example, as the lovely photos of the food she makes and inspiring seasonal recipes tested in her kitchen make me excited to return to the kitchen, and try something brand new to me, a practice I have been unwilling to do for a long time now.

Thank you, Chrissy, your gentle and consistent reminders to “shine the light of awareness inward” light up my life with ah-ha moments and tender heart healings. I am grateful for your steady presence on this journey.”

“Chrissy is the most generous of yoga teachers and is the epitome of loving kindness. She has a care for her students in both mind and body, and invites us to be curious about these, which leads to a very well-rounded practice. She has the capacity to intuitively read the energy of a room and teach accordingly. Therefore, students always come away enriched. Chrissy’s own gratitude for yoga, its history and its relevance today provoke interest and good conversations. She has knowledge of many yoga disciplines and shares willingly and with a gentle humor.  Her guidance in class, from opening breath-work through Shavasana, is a grounding that can set the tone for the day and beyond.”

“I don’t know if you know how much you do for all of us.  Or how much it is appreciated.  But I’m not exaggerating when I say what you do literally changes lives and I thank you for it. You should be proud of what you do.”

“I just LOVED your mindfulness class!! Thanks so much. It was so great to receive all your expert insights and tools for mindfulness practice and life in general.  You've given us lots of great things to work with and I am going to enjoy adding each piece to my day (and my life).”

“Chrissy’s expertise, her wisdom, and the kind and loving way with which she teaches us, whether in her thoughtful answers to our questions or reflections; her teachings about yoga philosophy, Ayurveda or guiding us in a meditation or Yoga Nidra practice; these have all been uplifting experiences I’ve been the happy recipient of in her classes.

If you’re ready to learn some new and improved ways to be with yourself, and to lovingly move from having an inner critic to an inner best friend, then I highly recommend you study with Chrissy.

She will introduce you to becoming your own best friend, and to transforming a harsh or judgmental inner voice, or habitual way of being with yourself.”

I have been taking classes with Chrissy for a few years now. I feel very comfortable in Chrissy's classes; I know what to expect and it makes me more relaxed. She is there for you, doesn't rush and takes time and answers all of your questions.”
