Christine Yovanovich

Chris began her yogic journey in 2003 after a long battle with an auto-immune disorder. She was initiated as a Kriyaban after studying 3 years through Paramahansa Yogananda’s Self Realization Fellowship ashram in L.A. Her focus was primarily on breathwork and meditation. Since she felt so much better without ever stepping into a yoga class, she enrolled in Cityoga’s 200-hour yoga teacher training to learn more about the physical practice of yoga. This allowed her to heal more deeply. After working 10 years serving as a medial social worker, she decided to dedicate herself to sharing the healing aspects of yoga with as many as possible. 

She began teaching yoga full time at Cityoga from 2006-2010, as well as teaching at several small to mid-sized businesses and schools in the Indianapolis area. Chris continued her yogic journey at Peace through Yoga in 2010. In 2016, Chris opened Indiana Yoga Studio located on the downtown square of Lebanon and a second location in Brownsburg in 2018. The historic building she and her husband renovated in Lebanon served them well. During that time, she led 8, 200-hour nationally accredited yoga teacher trainings and 3, 300-hour yoga teacher trainings, before they sold the building after the Covid pandemic hit. 

Chris is grateful for the opportunity to continuing serving the Boone County community through Sage Yoga Studio!
