Christine Janak

She graduated from UIUC with a B.A. in Spanish Language and Translation in 2013, and began her Yoga Teacher Training at Amara Yoga & Arts shortly after.Her teaching is vinyasa style, but is often influenced by elements from Ashtanga, Kripalu, and other lineages. She currently offers group classes, workshops, and private lessons at Amara Yoga & Arts in Urbana, IL and group classes at Evolve Fitness Club in Champaign, IL. In addition to traditional yoga classes, Christine offers Hoop Yoga and Hoop Dance classes, workshops, and private lessons. All offerings can be taught in English or Spanish. A regular yoga practice helps Christine feel balanced, in touch with her true inner self, and ready to face each day with pure intention and compassion for all beings. Her goal is to share this gift with as many people as possible, so she crafts her classes to provide an awakening of the mind, body, and spirit that is accessible to all.Christine knows that there is so much to be learned about the self and about life through our personal practice, so she strives to create a safe space for each student to choose their own yoga adventure, and to inspire students to develop a home practice entirely their own. When not practicing or sharing yoga, Christine can be found practicing the aerial arts and performing with hoops, fire, and more with the musical group Sun Stereo!
