Chris Hinkle

Chris (RYT-500; 100-hr Rocket®) began his yoga journey in Washington, DC, in 2017 when a friend taught an informal class at a party. He began learning primarily Power and Ashtanga styles and became involved in Stonewall Yoga in DC and Richmond, VA, to advocate for yoga in queer spaces. He has been teaching weekly vinyasa classes since 2023.  He is able to offer a Rocket® class the first Wednesday of each month at Tru Yoga in Rochester, NY.

Chris strives to offer space to explore strength and ease in every posture and opportunities to find balance.  His classes tend toward the athletic with arm balance and binding options.  He welcomes students to follow their own internal guidance in class while staying open to challenge and growth.
