She has also completed several Barre and Yoga trainings around the world including a focus on pre/post-natal training in Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Advanced Pilates. She has owned and led several Pilates studios and worked for a number of years with Barrecore London. In 2015 she founded Silver Linings Retreats (later Wellbeing) which offers transformational luxury retreats, immersive wellness events and a thriving digital wellness channel feature Chrissy and a curated group of fitness and wellness leaders. Chrissy's focus as a teacher is always to challenge each client appropriately and focus on building a mind-body connection that goes beyond the work in the studio or on retreat - to create a long-term body awareness and a true sense of wellbeing.
