VOTED ALBUQUERQUE’S BEST YOGA INSTRUCTOR 2012, ALBUQUERQUE – THE MAGAZINE
“I found that yoga was the missing piece from the decades of competitive running. Since starting “the practice” my injuries have healed, my flexibility and strength have improved AND I think it makes me a better person all thanks to Chris! ~ Carey, Albuquerque, NM
“I have been practicing yoga for over fifteen years and Chris’ classes continue to bring a freshness and growth to my practice. His adjustments during class have helped me to rework my postures to find better alignment and new edges. His discussion of the poses allows me to rediscover and play with them – such as envisioning my “brave heart” expanding in Warrior One. And his adjustments in Shavasana have gotten me into a fabulously deep and content relaxation.” ~ Maren, Albuquerque, NM
“I love taking class with Chris. He is able to give me a truly centering experience while keeping me laughing through most of my class. I have never laughed so much while sweating myself into unity. Chris knows what vinyasa means. I always leave his class smiling, spent, and loving life.” ~ Josh, Albuquerque, NM
“I’ve been in Albuquerque a little over three years and its taken me about that long to find a yoga home. Chris Courtney, his lively and caring Ashtanga-style, and his wise and gentle adjustments (with words and hands) really offered me a place to start cultivating that home. I’ve been practicing off and on for about nine years total, and Chris is a real rarity when it comes to instructors. I never laugh so hard while still feeling so much grounded energy as I do in one of his classes. It’s a real joy and honor to practice with him.” ~Stephanie, Albuquerque, NM
“Chris is a generous teacher who brings very much care, knowledge and understanding to teching for his students. He honors every student and fosters wise yoga practice. He makes class fun with humor and his positive personality. As a teacher, I appreciate him for all I can learn and his hands-on adjustments that are gentle and highly effective.” ~ Christina, Albuquerque, NM
“Chris brings a fine balance of laughter and yogic knowledge to his classes leaving everyone feel lighter and brighter.” ~ Sarah, Albuquerque, NM
“I love how completely Chris meets me where I am. To be adjusted is a true art form and with him I feel like I can melt into the pose in complete trust. Truly a full experience!” ~ Chery, Albuquerque, NM
“Chris Courtney teaches an awesome Vinyasa class. He provides very clear instructions and it has a super flow to it. He also does hands on adjustments which make you feel just fabulous in your pose. These assists are gentle and it makes you feel more AHHHH in your asana! Now, who doesn’t want that?” ~Patrice, Incline Village, NV
“I had not taken Yoga for over 15 years due to a shattering of my shoulder cuff which decreased the mobility in my left arm. Chris customized a private session for me at my home which encouraged me to join his Tuesday class. Chris works with you exactly where you are and he is very knowledgable, supportive and encouraging. You will have a different relationship with your body as a result.” ~Mollieo, Albuquerque, NM
“Chris is in tune with the energy of the class and adjusts the practice accordingly. His hands on adjustments provide the perfect tactile support for my joints and muscles. I was sufficiently exhausted and rejuvenated by the end of the class!” ~Marnie, Albuquerque, NM
