Christina Gericke

Christina Gericke, M.A., has been teaching yoga full-time since 2007 and runs her own studio, Bliss Yoga & Self Care, in Leipzig, Germany. She has been a certified Yoga Tune Up® teacher and Roll Model® Practitioner since 2018, trained by Dinneen Viggiano, and deepened her work with Jill Miller (Breath and Bliss, 2020) and with Jill Miller and Thomas W. Myers (Rolling Along the Anatomy Trains, 2021).

Her background spans a 320-hour training in India in Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga, Ayurveda and Pranayama, followed by years of study with teachers of the Ashtanga lineage. She trained in therapeutic yoga and hands-on adjustments with Duncan Wong and Dr. Elena Voyce, in Yin Yoga (125 hours) and in Power Yoga with Bryan Kest. Since 2019 she has also taught strength training with kettlebells, barbell, resistance bands and pull-up bar.

What holds these two fields together is anatomy. The Yoga Tune Up® trainings gave Christina the vocabulary for what she had learned through twenty years of hands-on teaching, and today she sees the same joints and the same muscular chains in a yoga posture and in a deadlift. Her weekly classes combine both: strength training for women framed by dynamic yoga and silent meditation, and a recovery class built around therapy ball self-massage for the neck, shoulders, back and hips.

Christina is registered with Yoga Alliance as E-RYT 200 and YACEP and holds a health trainer certification from the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB). She teaches in German and in English.
