Midtown Yoga Memphis : Teachers : Christy Washington

Christy Washington

Christy is passionate about traveling, new experiences, and culinary delights from street food to fine dining and sharing those experiences with others. Her travels include backpacking through Latin America, teaching English in China, trekking through Europe, embarking on roadfood trips throughout the United States, and navigating the judicial system for her clients. She is most at home on the road, whether that road is on her yoga mat, a highway, or a bumpy bus ride through the mountains.

While studying at the University of Memphis, Christy attended her first yoga class in 1998 and has continued practicing and studying with teachers here and abroad. She received her 200 Hour RYT Certification from Sarla Nichols at Midtown Yoga, and her style combines vinyasa flow, restorative, yin, breathwork, and meditation. She helps you create a personal practice that fits your needs and lifestyle while also offering opportunities to challenge and nurture yourself.

“I practice yoga to balance my various roles – attorney, community volunteer, friend, family member, traveler, animal lover, gardener – and to set aside time to slow down, suspend planning, analyzing, and problem-solving, and be in the moment. By reconnecting with my breath, I remember that I am more than the sum of my roles, and I am able to connect with something greater than myself. Through teaching, I strive to guide my students to reconnect with themselves and to find joy in life.”

Traveling and meeting people from around the world has taught Christy that we have more in common with each other than may appear at first glance, so set aside any notions about what yoga should or should not be, bring your passport and an open mind and heart, and join her on the journey that awaits you – to experience your True Self! Namaste.
