Christopher
Christopher feels that it is very important not to rush through each pose. Instead, build strength, flexibility, and find the breath and ease in each pose. Christopher classes always include core work and a step by step sequence into each peak pose. Christopher Pre/Postnatal classes focus on preparing for birth by including breath work, labor training exercises, as well as preparing for (or during) the postpartum period — finding ways to support the body during this transitional time.

Angela
Angela’s love and appreciation for movement and dance are limitless. She has been dancing since a young child and has always wanted to find a way to share her love for it. The practice of Yoga presented itself in her college years, and she was immediately hooked. Once she heard of Buti Yoga in 2018, she was compelled to become certified and learn more about the practice. Buti Yoga combines her personality and passion, and her hope is to uplift others to be the best version of themselves while encouraging that deep and positive connection.
Buti Yoga is a practice of going within to discover your true power and full potential. It’s more than just a workout. It’s a combination of dynamic yoga fused with primal movement and deep abdominal engagement. It is cardio intensive, allowing you to tap in and sweat with intention while transforming your mind, body and soul.
