Christian is an experienced London-based yoga teacher who teaches dynamic classes with a healing and mindful approach. He has been inspired by his exposure to various yoga modalities and likes to be creative with his class themes and sequences.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, where he founded his yoga studio Casa 111, Christian initially trained in Ashtanga & Rocket Vinyasa Yoga. Seeking to explore the healing and ceremonial elements of yoga, he later specialised in the therapeutic styles of Yin, Forrest Yoga, and Native American practices.

After travelling to India, his passion for the history and philosophy of yoga was ignited, which led him to further his studies with renowned scholars at SOAS University of London, graduating with a master's degree in the Traditions of Yoga. One of his missions is to present the philosophy of yoga in an accessible way for students to understand and embody its principles in life.

For the past seven years, Christian has travelled extensively, running retreats, teaching workshops, lectures, and leading teacher trainings in Europe, Indonesia, and South America. Alongside Mona Lisa Godfrey, he is the co-founder of High Yoga School Teacher Training.

”Christians classes are a journey. A journey through the body, with the soul, with the spirit. There are only a handful of teachers that I know that can lift my yoga practice up to a different level and Christian is certainly one of them. Christians classes transforms oneself. Not only he teaches an asana practice where one can find themselves learning more about the detailed alignment of the body. He is able to lead your way inwards in order to get closer to your core being. With his detailed queuing, wisdom sharings, powerful enchanting voice, and uplifting spirit you just feel that he is embodying the path of yoga with all his heart. In Savasana you will know that you will lift up and fly away, descending down afterwards with a smile on your face and an open grateful heart.” Maartje Pasman
