Aqua Yoga For Arthritis
Reduce the pain and stress caused by arthritis
"Aqua Yoga is the Best"
I very enthusiastically recommend this online course. Christa’s instructions are careful and thorough. Christa’s background and expertise cannot be over-emphasized. Through experience and training she has developed methods of safely leading individuals with physical limitations as they explore exercise effectively.

Learning aqua yoga for arthritis
from a yogi with arthritis
Is a Declaration of Possibilities
Yes, you can build muscle while respecting your arthritis symptoms. Learn a way to practice daily, instead one painfully sweaty day followed by three sore days of recovery.
Yes, you can return to the things you used do with your friends.
Yes, you can sleep better and be less grumpy with your family.
Yes, you can control your attitude and broaden your self care skills to get through the tough days.
What Students Say...
I have RA, Sjogrens, and Fibromyalgia. I have done yoga in the past, but it was getting difficult and painful to get up and down on a mat. A few years ago I started taking an aqua fit class, but I missed doing yoga. I found Christa and took her online class designed for arthritis.
I was a little apprehensive, but Christa also suffers from RA and is great at giving alternative poses if you have a bad or painful day.
Between the videos and written instructions it was easy to follow and make adjustments so you didn’t aggravate any muscles or joints.
My love of water and yoga has come together for a great full body workout.

Words from people who tried aqua yoga
Aqua yoga Restores Mobility
Before aqua yoga I could no longer get on and off the floor without something to hold on to. Now I can get up and down fine.

Aqua Yoga Reduces Pain
I started aqua yoga at the beginning of 2016 and in three months I have so much less pain. You have made a beautiful difference in my life.

Aqua Yoga Increases Strength
I enjoy the work out we get in the pool. It doesn't task the body, but it invigorates our muscles and strengthens them. At my age, I need to keep active for my general
well-being.

Meet Your Trainer
Hi, I’m Christa.
I had arthritis for more than 20 years before my diagnosis and had a hard time reconciling everything I'd achieved with all my joint damage. I gave my lifelong yoga practice the credit and now I help other people use the tools of yoga to manage their health. Aqua yoga is my focus because it is kind to people's joints and is so accessible. It's an easy way to start a yoga practice, it allows people who've lost a land practice to continue, and challenges people with an active land practice to explore their bodies in new ways.
