- Welcome to Yoga Divino
Cristella has been devoted to the practice of yoga since 1998, when she first discovered its profound ability to transform both body and mind while living in her home state of California. What began as a personal practice soon became a lifeline, helping her navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience, clarity, and compassion. Over time, that inward journey evolved into a calling to share the gifts of yoga with others.
As a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Cristella brings more than two decades of dedicated practice to her teaching. Her classes focus on the union of breath and movement — a foundational principle that encourages students to slow down, tune in, and meet themselves exactly where they are. She creates a welcoming and supportive environment where students of all levels can cultivate strength, balance, and inner awareness. Cristella’s path extends far beyond the yoga mat. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Global Studies and has lived, worked, and studied in four countries, including three years in Italy. Along the way, she learned four languages and developed a deep appreciation for the richness of different cultures.
She continues to travel internationally each year, drawing inspiration from the people, traditions, and perspectives she encounters. This global outlook brings a unique depth and openness to her teaching. Cristella is based in Annapolis, Maryland, where she lives with her husband and children. She is passionate about sharing yoga as a tool for connection, well-being, and mindful living, and she looks forward to welcoming every student who steps onto the mat.
