CHRISTINE PANICO | Yoga Instructor 

Panico completed her 200HR Yoga Certification through Mandala Yoga Center for Healing Arts in June 2020.

Her experience has grown to include Prenatal Yoga and creating an adaptive yoga class designed to help people with neuropathies for the HNF & CMT communities for an exercise program called Movement is Medicine. Panico finds being able to use yoga to help people who may be limited by injury or other physical ailment to be the most rewarding part of her journey as an instructor so far. You can find her teaching in person at Mandala Yoga Center for Healing Arts, Amagansett NY and at EHP Resort & Marina, East Hampton NY (between SiSi Restaurant and Buon Giorno bakery).
