Christina Martini, Ashtanga Yoga & Ayurveda Shala Santosha Wellness

"I highly recommend Christina as your teacher, regardless if you are a beginner, advanced, or injured. Her experiencing healing herself and countless students over the years instills trust immediately when you walk in the room. Her depth in yoga therapy is a true example to her students. She creates a safe and supported environment for her students to learn, truly living out the definition of a Yoga Shala. Christina is an example to the world of what is like to follow and teach a traditional method of Astanga Yoga just as it was passed down from her teacher Manju Jois. She does in a way that, as a student, it makes you feel challenged, and when you look back, you have experienced exponential growth as a human being on and off the mat."

"Christina is a tireless and dedicated senior yoga teacher in the Ashtanga realm. The moment I stepped into shala (yoga school) i knew I had found my place. This is a path to body healing and feeling free in our bodies. And balanced and can’t recommend this place. Christina is a gift the Maui community and the larger yoga community. Her in person/zoom hybrid approach means that visitors can learn and continue to work with her after returning home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Christina."

"I have been practicing yoga for over a decade. I have lived in many countries and met many teachers, Christina is one of the most knowledgeable teachers I have ever had. She holds the space in the mysore room in a very unique way. Many people can teach asana but very few people can teach ashtanga Vinyāsa in a holistic and traditional way. She does it perfectly. If you are looking to get into the practice, whether you are a beginner or experienced practitioner, this is the place, you will find guidance in a Traditional, holistic approach. Christina always considers your needs and will work with you one on one. Thanks Christina"

"Christina is an amazing Ashtanga instructor. She has transformed my practice in just a few months. Her knowledge of the body enables her to facilitate safe learning through her adjustments and coaching. Her true yogi spirit is obvious in the joy she brings to the Shala and all her practitioners. I highly recommend Christina to anyone wanting to start out or improve their yoga practice."
