Christie Holt is a Canadian-born yogi who has found a home on the coast of South Africa. With a deep reverence for both nature and yoga, she weaves these passions together to inspire us all to live in harmony with the earth and the land beneath our feet. Through her teachings, Christie encourages students to reconnect with their innate sense of belonging—to their inner light, to the land, and to one another. She nurtures a sense of community and connection in Ballito, where she resides, inviting all to return to their bodies and the present moment at her open-air studio, Kāya Shala. Christie’s classes carry a poetic and heartfelt quality, fostering warmth, compassion, and equanimity. In her presence, students are encouraged to cultivate inner peace and extend this love outward, creating a ripple effect of kindness and love in the world around them.
