Chris

Chris brings a unique blend of elite athletic discipline and rehabilitative knowledge to the mat at Just Breathe Yoga Center. With 13 years as a gymnastics coach and over a decade as a Certified Personal Trainer, he holds specialized credentials in Bodybuilding, Exercise & Stress Management, Neuromuscular Stretching, and Behavior Change.

​

For years, Chris focused on peak physical performance and aesthetics, and in 2021 he was on the verge of earning his Pro Card in bodybuilding. An unexpected accident changed the trajectory of his career and led him into two years of intense physical therapy. Through recovery, he gained a deeper understanding of strength, shifting from building a look to building lasting function, mobility, and resilience.

​

That shift became the foundation of his work. In 2025, Chris launched Alpine Strong, a lifestyle brand and training service centered around building an “Adventure Ready” body, one that supports endurance, stability, and the ability to say yes to life’s experiences.

​

At Just Breathe, Chris is passionate about teaching practical, sustainable strength. He specializes in resistance band training and functional movement, helping students move better, feel stronger, and build a body that supports them for the long run.
