CURRENT MISSION

To combine both my Improv & Yoga training and offer Self Esteem Workshops for Youth!

ABOUT ME

Hi! :) I'm Chrissy, 34 from Brisbane, QLD, Australia, though currently living/studying in Chicago, IL, USA. About 12 months ago, I came to a cross road in life and had to make a decision about what's important to me and how I want to share my life and gifts with community.
Resultantly, I decided to give up my career in Sales/Marketing and follow my heart in pursuit of Improv (Comedy) in Chicago! Chi-town is literally the world mecca for Improv & I'm currently studying at Second City.
Since arriving, I've also become a certified Yoga Instructor and I now specialise in Children/Teens Yoga.
My goal is to incorporate both my Improv & Yoga training so I can offer Self Esteem Workshops for Youth!
I live with my boyfriend in a beautiful apartment on Chicago's northside. We're both vegetarians.

PHILOSOPHY

Focus on the positive. Act, think and speak in alignment with my life purpose. Seek balance.

Would love to share with like-minded folks if time & opportunity allows.

Music, Movies, and Books

Always keen for a movie with a positive, thought-provoking message. MUSIC = sweet world beats!!! Books = Philosophy, Biographies, Yoga & Comedy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mountaineering in Nepal to a place called Kalipitar, just before Everest base camp.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would LOVE to share yoga with any curious types! I'm constantly seeking to evolve my own practice and I specialise in Yoga for Children & Teens. Also I used to teach Swing Dancing, so always keen to hit the dance floor if opportunity calls.
