Christa Norgren – Vancouver, BC

Greetings! My name is Christa Norgren and I reside in beautiful British Columbia right on the coast in Vancouver.  I found yoga in 2004 and began my teacher training soon after in 2005 with YogaFit. I still continue to grow in my own learning through Mind Body Education with YogaFit Canada.  Currently, I hold certifications in group fitness, weight training and yoga with British Columbia Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA).  I have been teaching YogaFit style classes in the YMCA of Greater Vancouver, the Richmond Olympic Oval and other fitness clubs.

I also have certifications in Fusion Fitness (pilates, yoga and fitness) and Level 1 Athlete’s Performance Training. I aspire to have athletes of various levels and sports include yoga in their training to reduce chance of injury, promote recovery should an injury occur and ultimately, enhance performance. I also work with children who require extra support in the school system in a neighbouring city, Burnaby.  The Burnaby school system has newly been exposed to the “MindUp” Curriculum.  The school where I am, the curriculum is used by all the teachers.  It has a strong emphasis on awareness of self, both physically and emotionally and uses simple yoga techniques within the curriculum like breathing and mind/body connection.  I have been able to bridge this peace of the “MindUp” Curriculum with yoga and I am excited to teach to both the children and my colleagues.

At my core, I believe health and wellness is the key to a long and happy life and I believe that begins from the inside out.  Yoga has supported me to live that way more and more.
