Meet Christina

Christina Houfek RYT500, C-IAYT, has over 20 years of teaching and coaching experience. Her original 200 hour vinyasa Yoga Alliance certification opened the door for her study of yoga therapy with the Soul of Yoga and certification with the International Association of Yoga Therapists. She is a level I iRest/yoga Nidra and pranayama teacher, trained by Richard Miller. She is certified in Yin through Joe Barnett (Assistant of Paul Grilley), Pre-natal yoga through Flossie Park, and cardiac yoga through Dr. M. Mala Cunningham. Her other teachers include Indu Aurora, Mas Vidal, Nischala Joy Devi, Amy Weintraub, Antonio Sausys, Durga Leela and Philip Goldberg.

Christina found her way to yoga while rehabbing a physical injury. She quickly discovered the holistic mind-body benefits of regular practice and the balance it brought to her life. She pursued her certification as a yoga instructor and yoga therapist with the intention to provide others access to these same benefits. She feels called to continue her journey deeper into the practice. 

Currently, Christina Houfek spends her professional time as a manager, analyst, researcher, author, teacher, and mind-body-life coach. She and her husband share a passion for embracing new opportunities and find an adventure is nearly always in reach. They live with their marvelously derpy dog in Annapolis, Maryland. 

Christina would love to hear from you, where you are in your journey, and how you can work together to uncover your strength within!

I hold active RYT500 certification through the Yoga Alliance, a 

C-IAYT certification with the International Association of Yoga Therapists, and a Level 1 iRest certification. I earned a BS in behavioral sciences with concentrations in athletic coaching and fine arts, an MA in Leadership in Education, and a graduate certificate in analysis. I published several professional products in my work supporting the government in addition to my first book “Uncovering the Strength Within”. It is through this diverse background that I found my way to mind-body-life coaching where I see coaching the whole being as the pathway to achieving positive change.

Christina Houfek's Uncovering the Strength Within is an inspired, guided journey that unpacks life's inevitable baggage in a way that makes the discomfort tolerable and happiness attainable.
