REVIEWS of Christine’s DVD “Dive into Yoga” from Amazon: “The guidance and company of a great teacher is rare and difficult sometimes to discern, yet when the master is discovered, the effects are boundless. Dive into Yoga is the mastery of a great teacher.” “I have just watched Dive Into Yoga again (this time in German) which is such a wonderful and exceptionally well done yoga DVD! I love the way Christine not only takes the practitioner through a whole class but also allows me to do certain segments which I select if I don't have time to do everything. The special effects and images help me to understand of how I can improve my yoga postures and help me focus even more. DIVE INTO YOGA is really an incredible beautiful yoga DVD and should not be missed by anyone!” “I take classes with Christine and use this video to practice on my own. While some poses are designed for more advanced students, she guides a beginner, like me, to adjust to a range of ability levels. Christine's approach is completely accessible and her gentle guidance is highly motivating. The pace is lively and as challenging as the student chooses. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who wishes to have a good practice at home.”
