About Christina Maningo:
Christina is a free-spirited California native with a passion for yoga and living a healthy and active lifestyle. A graduate of UC Berkeley in Human Biodynamics and team captain of Berkeley’s NCAA Division I gymnastics team, Christina has been an advocate of health and wellness for as long as she can remember. Post gymnastics, she continued to stay active and has participated in several marathons and ultra marathons from the Great Wall of China to the ethereal trails of Annapurna, Nepal.
She has been learning and teaching yoga, mindfulness and meditation for over 10 years. In recent years, she’s been particularly immersed in the power of the mind/body connection and its importance to overall health and well-being.
The consummate student, she continues to dig deeper into the vast topic of the mind-body connection. This has led her to additional studies in Myofascial Release, Mindfulness, Anatomy and Nutrition. All these areas are directly related to overall health and happiness. Of particular interest to her is the study of fascia, which is bridging the gap between the mind and body. We are just beginning to learn about the direct connection between the health of our fascia and our overall wellbeing.
