Join us for a balanced weekend of physical exhilaration and mental rejuvenation!

Spend your first night getting grounded on your mat and falling in love with your blissful surroundings with a flowing practice to feed your body and soul. We will begin our first full day on the island with a high energy, full body Core Fusion class full of fresh ocean air and fun. Saturday morning we will be focusing on the core and spine. In order to dive into life, every diver must know the importance of core strength and flexibility. Saturday evening we will bring focus to our breath with a peaceful yoga practice as we watch and feel the sun set behind us. And, for our final class, we will be making a splash on our mat, with an upbeat and fun moving class.

Cristi Christensen

Cristi's interest in movement has been a lifelong pursuit. As the daughter of a dance instructor, she was enrolled in dance class from the time she could walk. Cristi developed her natural athletic ability through gymnastics, and for eight years competed at the elite level. Her love of acrobatics drew her to platform diving and to the University of Houston, where she earned a degree Kinesiology and trained with members of the Olympic diving team. When her own Olympic dreams were cut short by injury, Cristi shifted her focus to helping others improve their level of fitness and awareness. She became a personal trainer and Pilates instructor and moved to NY. In 2004 she joined exhale, bringing inspired energy and enthusiasm to her classes teaching both Core Fusion + Yoga. Since making the move to Los Angeles, Cristi has completed Saul David Raye¹s 200 hour Holistic Yoga Program and has trained extensively with Shiva Rea. When Cristi isn¹t managing exhale Venice, you can find her backhand springing down Venice beach!

Henry Richardson

As a former All-American springboard + platform diver, and a 6th grade school teacher with the Program Teach For America, Henry brings a passion to teaching Core Fusion that is encouraging, challenging, and up beat! Henry has taught Core Fusion in New York City, Bridgehampton, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Since his time teaching in Los Angeles, Henry recently finished his MBA at Rice University in Houston, TX where he helped coach and train national and Olympic team members in core strength and flexibility. Henry is most inspired by helping others achieve their health and fitness goals, and he is looking forward to the retreat experience where he can do just that.
