Chris first became interested in physiology and movement as a child when she began training as a gymnast. After studying Human Biology and IT, at Bristol and Swansea, she went onto a training/coaching management career with a major blue chip company for over 10 years.
In 2004 during a career break to raise her two daughters, she first tried and fell in love with yoga. Drawn to the incredible physical and mental benefits it brings she has practised ever since.
Deciding to combine this with her return to work she set out to become an instructor in 2009.
