ABOUT
My name is Christine Calabrese. I had been practicing general dentistry in Western New York for over 20 years when a back problem forced me to sell my practice. The physical posture and stress had taken a toll on my body. The career shift to teaching was quite different and left me struggling to regain a sense of purpose. Yoga had been helpful in trying to ease my physical pain and after doing some research I found a yoga therapy program that suited my needs and received my foundations certificate in yoga therapy. (250 hrs). Deepening my meditation practice, and devotion to learning more about all the aspects of yoga, helped me to heal from the anxiety & uncertainty of a major career shift and loss of what I knew to be my normal. I educate myself through continuing education and regular yoga practice and I believe my knowledge of western medicine and health through my dental education gives me a unique perspective as I merge that foundation with holistic healing practices and my own triumphs (and failures), to help my clients find some peace and relief from pain. I consider myself a "work in progress" and look forward to helping others begin their work towards healing. One on one sessions as well as classes include use of props to make any pose accessible and to meet you at your level. If you, or someone you know is suffering on any level, contact me today and begin your journey to be well!
