Who is Christie Hall?
"Venture from the known to the unknown." – BKS Iyengar
Suffering from joint and disc degeneration, I began studying yoga in 1995. The pain relief brought on by regular practice led me to want to share the gift of yoga and to start teaching in 1997. I have studied continuously with certified Iyengar teachers since 1997, starting with Karin O'Bannon. In September 2005, I had the great good fortune to study under BKS Iyengar and senior teachers at the Yoga Journal Conference in Colorado. I attended the National Iyengar Yoga Conventions in St. Paul, Minnesota, in May 2004 and in Las Vegas in May 2007, where Geeta Iyengar led all instruction. In July 2007, I found my practice transformed further through the Iyengar Intensive at the Yogacharya Festival taught by the world's top Iyengar teachers. I take workshops and specialized classes regularly at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of Los Angeles.
I am an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) at the 200-hour level with Yoga Alliance. I completed my master's degree in human movement in November 2009.
I specialize in assisting students struggling with physical problems. I understand the fear of re-injury that often results. Both my hips are artificial implants. Many vertebrae in the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine are unstable, and as a result, several spinal discs have disintegrated. I have mild scoliosis and fibromyalgia. The joint disintegration was first diagnosed in my knees 25 years ago. The physical problems have given me a particular interest in anatomy in the context of yoga.
But far beyond the physical, yoga has transformed my life. I have found the person within through yoga: I found someone courageous where I had always been fearful; I found someone who could be content after decades of longing and frustration; I found someone who didn’t have to be angry all the time. And the journey of discovery continues every day.

Endow yourself with compassion on your journey through life.
Part of that quest is to look within
To see who you are
To see that all things are connected.
To see also that love begets courage,
moderation creates abundance,
and humility brings strength.
