Chris Wattbio + philosophy
Chris's path to yoga was a happy accident—literally. In 2015, Chris was involved in a serious road biking accident that broke his neck and made it impossible for him to continue at his job as an automotive technician. While the injury was devastating, Chris says that without it, he wouldn't have been able to discover his true professional passion. He was introduced to yoga by a friend and immediately set about practicing and learning as much as he could. After discovering his natural knack for teaching, he pursued his yoga certification and together with Nicole Martin, founded Traveling Mat Yoga. His classes typically involve plenty of flow, energy, and jokes! |
