Christine Sturgis, mother of five, outdoor enthusiast and overall fitness nut her entire life, has spent the past 15 years developing a career applying two of her greatest passions: helping others and movement. She is a licensed PTA, having treated patients in an outpatient orthopedic setting for 4+ years and home health care physical therapy at Mainline Health Systems for 3+ years. During that time, she completed her FMS certification (Functional Movement Screen), SFMA training (Selective Functional Movement Screen), 250+ hours certified yoga teacher training program and Level 1 Myofascial Release certification under John Barnes, giving her a wide range of knowledge and experience in movement synergies, biomechanics and manual therapy. She used this knowledge and experience to create her original exercise series, PhyToga, which combines the best of all these movement principles into one exercise program. She brings her wide range of experience to her students and private clients, creating a safe environment to grow stable, strong and balanced bodies through movement.
