Cristi ChristensenCristi's interest in movement has been a lifelong pursuit. As the daughter of a dance instructor, Cristi was enrolled in dance class from the time she could walk. She developed her natural athletic ability through gymnastics, and for 8 years competed at the elite level. Her love of acrobatics drew her to platform diving and to the University of Houston, where she earned a degree Kinesiology and trained with members of the Olympic diving team. When her own Olympic dreams were cut short by injury, Cristi shifted her focus to helping others improve their level of fitness. She became a personal trainer and moved to New York, where she began teaching and managing Go Figure Studio in Greenwich and New Canaan. In 2004 Cristi joined exhale, bringing an inspired energy and enthusiasm to her classes.
