Sun Yoga Roatan Instructors

Christine Etches

Founder/Certified Yoga Instructor

Christine discovered yoga in 1997 during her studies at U.C.S.B.   She was initially certified in Bikram Yoga, then went on to further expand her yoga education to the more breath focused, alignment based style of B.K.S. Iyenger.  Her classes offer a dynamic flow with modifications for beginners and advanced yogis.

She has been teaching yoga on Roatan for 14 years and loves to share in the joy and fun of practicing with Roatanians and tourists.

Christine truly believes yoga is for everyone and yoga should be whatever you need or want it to be physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

In 2020, Christine founded Sun Yoga, a welcomed addition to the West End and Roatan yoga community.

      Certified Yoga Instructor

      I love a strong practice because it enhances a state of mindfulness. Riding the knife-edge between your capabilities and demand of the practice demands your full attention and is such an amazing teaching moment.
