Today we’d like to introduce you to Christine Giana.
Christine, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
After a terrible snowboarding accident, I turned to yoga and meditation to help heal my back and spine… My doctor said I would not run again, and that swimming would be my best option for exercise. After six months of my own yoga therapy, I was healed and no longer woke up with headaches and no longer experienced pain with my runs.
I felt a calling to the current space we occupy and felt I needed to do something BIG for my community. I felt like opening a yoga studio would be just what this area needed!
Mode 8 has been thriving for 14 months now and we just finished a construction project opening our yoga room to now hold +40 people!
We are excited to grow and look forward to meeting new faces.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The biggest struggle was our construction project. I took nine months to build! Handling the contractors was the biggest obstacle of my life.
Please tell us about Mode 8 Yoga and Fitness.
Our Company is about a vibe! The magic happens when you walk through our doors when you are greeted with a smiling face and warm, welcoming teachers. We strive to make sure everyone feels welcome and loved. We specialize in hot yoga and yin yoga. We created a HIIT training program called the Mode 8 Workout that combines strength training with cardio kickboxing! It is a hit and sets us apart from other yoga studios. Not to mention we offer free child care. We are most proud of our Mode 8 community, they are loyal, full of life, and have the most beautiful souls.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
I would start with one big room instead of two small rooms. I would also hire a quality contractor to build the best studio our budget could by!
