About Chris
Christina Dumas was born in Sunbury, Ohio, with a passion for Chemistry and Art. She went on to graduate from The Ohio State University in 2011. Yoga practice took off in 2015 after moving to Colorado. After six years in the beauty industry, Chris let go of all her worldly possessions to travel for a better understanding of human nature.
Christina started practicing yoga in first grade when she popped into a shoulder stand in gym class. The regular practice came two decades later in recovery, which inspired her to move to Colorado for a new enviroment. After over a decade in the beauty industry, Christina let go of her apartment and worldly things for a trip worldwide to understand human nature.
She completed her yoga teacher training at The Mystical Yoga Farm in Guatemala with Scott Nanamura and at The Diamond Heart Yoga School, accredited by the Yoga Teacher Alliance. Christina met Scott Nanamura in Pai, Thailand during a solo expedition and was moved by his work in the Yoga Sutras. During Scott's teacher training, Christina volunteered in Costa Rica and was introduced to Tibetan Heart Yoga, Functional Anatomy, and Chinese Medicine. She was attending lectures and expanding her understanding of the teachings every day.
Chris discovered Carl Jung’s work and then Scott showed her a video of where she would be training. Chris decided to participate in the upcoming yoga teacher training in September. She spent time in Jainti Villiage, Uttarakhand, India at Yoga Sadhana Dham Ashram studying Prakriti, Ayurvedic medicine, Tantra, and Mantra with Mudit Pandey at Yog Sadhana Dham Ashram after traveling on a sleeper train from Kerala where she discovered an authentic Indian Medical office, astrology, Abhyanga, and Kizhi. Christina is a 200 hour RYT, Esthetician, Author, Actress, and Poet. Christina is delighted to share her experience and understanding of the world with the @yogawchris, Gravity Haus Vail, NoHo community!
