Chris

Chris brings a unique blend of strength, movement, and mindfulness to Just Breathe Yoga Center, where he also serves as Studio Manager. With 13 years as a gymnastics coach and over a decade as a Certified Personal Trainer, his background includes functional movement, neuromuscular stretching, stress management, and bodybuilding.

After an accident led to two years of physical therapy, Chris’s approach to movement shifted from aesthetics and performance to building lasting strength, mobility, and resilience. In 2025, he founded Alpine Strong, centered around creating an “Adventure Ready” body that supports an active life.

​

Chris recently completed his 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Asheville Yoga Center, further deepening his understanding of the connection between movement, breath, and body awareness. At Just Breathe, he combines his experience in strength and conditioning with yoga to help students move with greater strength, stability, mobility, and confidence.
