Marcela Christjansen

Marcela is a yoga teacher and passionate lover of all things leading to living your best life, based in Los Gatos, California. The practice of yoga was introduced into her life in her early 20s, when she left her beloved Mexico for what would be a whole new life of constant change. For the first time, yoga became her “home within herself“ – a safe, consistent, and ever reliable home no matter where she went. As a lover of growth and continuous learning, she wanted to share the benefits and offerings of the practice and become a teacher. When she’s not teaching or practicing, you can find her enjoying her family, friends, and dog Luna.
