Christina LaPerle

Christina LaPerle discovered yoga at the age of 10, when she noticed a new sign for yoga classes in a storefront window in the center of her town. She was intrigued, and her friend’s mother was willing to take her and her friend to a class or two. That is where Christina’s deep interest in yoga and meditation began. In college, she took a number of religious studies courses in meditation in Indian cultures and Japanese Buddhism, and began her own regular meditation and yoga practices. Christina has continued her practices ever since, incorporating the wisdom of Pema Chodron and Sharon Salzburg through their writings.  She currently works as an energy engineer and strives to imbue her everyday life with mindfulness and compassion for herself and others.
