Christina is an inspiration! Her classes are thorough, motivating and fun. Her lovely warm and friendly personality shines through.

Thanks again for all the wonderful classes that you give. I cant begin to tell you how amazing I feel after every class not to mention 2 cm taller.

Christina's is always so active and she shares her great knowledge so generously. I always feel so motivated in her classes and will miss her.

I feel very blessed that are roads have crossed for some years in your yoga classes at the Dubai ladies club. You taught me several secrets about my body and helped me with the recovery of my arm in your Aqua aerobics class and my daughters had the pleasure of enjoying your yoga sessions during the stressful exam period!!!!

Always grateful for your kindness !

To all my Sri Lankan friends Christina Jackson is one of the BEST Instructors & a friend I have ever met in Dubai. So if you happened to go for a holiday to her area, please go and attend one of her classes. I guarantee you that you will fall in love with her classes & her.

Christina taught me, my husband and my son as a family for about two years in Dubai. She is a very inspiring and caring teacher who teaches both classes and private clients with the greatest of professionalism and attention to detail. On a personal level, she is one of the most talented and genuinely kind people I have ever met.

Christina is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced Yoga Teachers that I have practiced with in my 8 years in Dubai. She has also been a key contributor to the creation of www.yoginfinity.com , online portal for Yoga & Meditation in the Middle East, with her excellent tips and content creation.

Her cheerful presence makes any activity with her delightful, and her energy and positivity is highly contagious. I am sure she will excel in her next career step, and can´t wait to see her in Sri Lanka!

I had heard of Yogas many benefits, but I hadn't understood or enjoyed the few classes I’d been to. I then met Christina socially, and from her keen words of how it helps everyone on all levels (and in particular in regard to my marathon training) I asked for five private classes to then try open classes again. Throughout the sessions she explained the many benefits, guiding me through the breathing and the poses, and it started to make sense. The next open class I went to I felt competent and able, and even the Teacher expressed surprise that I was a novice. I fully recommend to try Yoga, and have Christina introduce you to it.

I have been fortunate to enjoy both group and private yoga lessons with Christina and I love her dedication to her profession and also her encouragement and enthusiasm. She has a way of making complex moves and poses seem simple and utterly attainable. In a group, she manages the potentially tricky dynamic of demonstration, teaching and support to different capability levels with grace, kindness and a splash of humour. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her from complete beginner to experienced practitioner.

My husband and I started private yoga classes with Christina 7 years ago. I thought it would be good for my husband as he was healing from recent knee surgery. He humoured me and went along thinking this should be easy... after the first class he was shocked at the complete workout he had just experienced.

Christina is an outstanding instructor with her caring and watchful instruction. Her voice is calming as she leads you from your first breaths through strength building poses and the most lovely relaxation. I know without a doubt my time spent with Christina has built my strength and balance as I’ve gained confidence through the years of yoga with her instruction.

Thank you CX for changing our lives through your instruction and friendship.

My journey with aqua started when after a fall I was advised to take to water exercises .
Christina’s aqua classes were special as they combined yoga with aerobics . The amazing stretches in the water and also the toning using various weights in the water were fun.
But what really got me is her very warm & charming personality. She is ever so willing to extend the extra help needed and often goes way beyond her time, a quality so rare as most instructors go by the clock.
With Christina I got so comfortable and confident (I had a great water phobia) that I wanted to try her other classes as well, hence I started her yoga and stretch sessions.
Whichever class I tried with Christina , I have truly enjoyed.

It was a big blow to me personally to learn that she is to leave us . This is a huge void for many of us.
I wish you, Dear Christina all the very best and lots of sunshine and positive experiences in your chosen path and country.

One could not ask for a more fabulous mentor than Christina.
This past year has been unbelievably trying and I’ve found myself at times in a very dark place. From my first meeting with Christina I knew she was a beautiful human being inside and out, and has been an inspiration during these difficult times.
I have taken her techniques on board and followed her advise in looking after my mental health with as much vigor as my physical health, with extremely positive outcomes.
Her practice of breathing techniques and the yoga have been particularly beneficial a long side her knowledge of supplements and good diet.
Christina continually amazes me with her kindness and the planet is a far better place with her protecting it.

Ever since I started practising Yoga with Christina, my habits and how I feel in my body have changed considerably. I do some breathwork each morning and it makes such a huge difference to center myself before the day. I feel like I've started using my lungs fully and I am often surprised by how much air they can hold!

What is also beautiful, is that I do not feel back pain since I started Yoga! I used to get very bad backaches, especially at stressful periods. This is one of the reasons why we are focusing on strengthening my core during my practice with Christina.

I wholeheartedly recommend and appreciate learning from Christina! She is always well-prepared and designs the sessions around my need and state. Our sessions are online, yet, I feel it’s going beautifully and her guidance is spot on, even though we are thousands of miles away!

Our favourite yoga teacher in Sri Lanka.

You made our stay in Mirissa perfect.

I hope one day we can come back to see you. Good luck beautiful friend.

CX VILLA GUESTS

I really don’t know where to start; the beginning I suppose:

From the first moment of being taught /instructed by Christina you get a sense of her self-deprecation - she is far too modest. I didn’t want to be taught by a Guru; I wanted real, and with Christina you get just that - real. Make no mistake she totally is a Guru but presents herself in such a Rock'n'roll manner that you cannot help to be put at ease and want to learn more.

I thank the Almighty that she came into my life. For all her teachings come into my daily life.

Life is richer with Christina as part of it.

Your home is beautiful and everything about it is welcoming.

Your home is a little oasis, a retreat full of nurturing from the outside to the inside with healthy food, good company and chocolate! Will definitely be back again and again!!

Such a warm welcome awaits you at Christina's, and her Yoga Class is sublime; wonderfully clear explanations and you immediately begin to feel more flexible and calm.

Many, many thanks Christina for sharing your home and knowledge with us.

Impossible to describe the peace that you feel at CX Villa. This is a home away from home - clean, beautifully decorated and the perfect distance to the beach and local towns.

Christina and her two dogs provide a loving, homey hospitality and always try to make you as comfortable and happy as possible.

It was such an honour being her guest. Am not ready to leave!

What a great place for a pitstop between Australia and the UK! Three days was not enough time to see the island, but it gave me time to feel the spirit of the island, to relax and rejuvenate and to see a little of the south coasters coast including the beautiful historic city of Galle. Thank you Christina for your generous hospitality and your helpful advice and assistance with logistics. I hope to come again, and enjoy some more of your Yoga Classes next time.

What a Zen and peaceful home you have created. Full of light and calmness. The Yoga was a dream, explained expertly. I will (- hopefully both) be taking this up when we return to the UK purely because of your tutoring and understanding of the benefits it brings.

The village is wonderful with a couple of great restaurants, and the locally renowned "The Doctors House" and Mirissa a £2 Tuktuk ride away.

You have it sewn up! Thanks so much for your love and hospitality.

The warmest of welcomes awaits at Christina's lovely house. Madiha Beach is a great location: just a few minutes away from the white sands, beach bars and tourist amenities of Mirissa, but with its own unique feel.

This is a place for surfers, locals and those looking for a true seaside escape.

Our stay here has been made really special by Christina herself. She shared her home, her knowledge of the country and (most importantly) her incredible knowledge of Yoga. We are leaving this kind and nurturing house, calm, serene and a little more flexible!
