Hello!
Welcome to In Harmony Yoga with Crissy!
I am so happy you are here!
My Story
My name is Crissy Florio and I am a Yogi, a Mom of two amazing young adults, a Wife to my high school sweetheart, a Sister, a Daughter, and a Friend to many! It wasn't until around 2012 that I felt the calling to dive deeper into teaching Yoga and developing a Spiritual Practice which led me to complete my 200 RYT in Therapeutic Yoga, eventually adding more certifications to include Yoga for Cancer Recovery, Yoga and Lymphatic system, Yoga with Myofascial release (MFR) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). My classes are typically Vinyasa based infused with my Therapeutic Yoga background to give my students a well balanced practice, leaving them fulfilled Mind, Body and Soul. While all private sessions are customized to the individual.
To me Yoga is more than the Asanas (physical postures) it's a way of life! A constant reminder to see the beauty in all things, to approach life with no expectations or attachments, and to create Peace and Harmony even in the most chaotic of times! I am reminded everyday to live MINDFULLY and present but even more so when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Triple Positive Breast Cancer in September of 2020.
Talk about life changing~my world was rocked the moment I heard the words “You have Breast Cancer”. After a few days of processing, I turned back to my intuition and my inner guidance to lead me through the next few daunting months of Chemotherapy, a Double Mastectomy, and Reconstruction while trying to find my peace and purpose to make sense of it all. Even though I decided to take some time off from teaching others, I continued my own Yoga Practice which included Chakra balancing, gentle Yoga, daily healing meditation/visualization, journaling and Pranic Energy healing. All the while constantly being uplifted by my community of family, friends, and students. With love, community and my spiritual practices put into place, I was able to hear the words No Evidence of cancer in February of 2021! BEST NEWS EVER! I was able to fight Cancer and WIN because I embodied all I have learned over the years about a Holistic lifestyle!
My own healing journey—rooted in yoga, holistic practices, and deep self-inquiry—not only supported me through breast cancer, but also ignited a passion to help other Breasties feel empowered in their bodies and lives. That passion led me to become the author of For the Love of Jugs: A Breastie’s Guide, a heart-centered book that blends personal experience with holistic tools and gentle guidance. It’s my love letter to anyone navigating breast cancer, and a reminder that healing is not just possible—it can be beautiful.
​
If you’re feeling called to reconnect with yourself, to move through healing with more grace, or simply to be held in a space of compassion and care—I’d be honored to walk alongside you. I bring Mind Body Heart and Soul healing into my work trough yoga, breathwork, fascia work, lymphatic support, and soulful conversations. I create a practice that meets you where you are. You don’t have to do this alone—let’s walk this path together.
​
One Love,
Crissy
