I am a yoga instructor, freelance writer, and product developer based in New York City, where I live with my adorable dachshund, Phineas, whom I recently rescued from the Humane Society.

A recovering multi-tasker,  I am a proud alum of UPenn (BA) and the Darden School at UVA (MBA). When not in front of my Mac, I’m on my yoga mat, traveling the world, or practicing the high-art of people watching.

I'm online at http://christainnewyork.com, http://compassyoga.com, and http://twitter.com/christanyc.
