Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Bollino.
Hi Christina, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hi, I’m Christina—founder of Beach Bee Yoga, Dance, & SUP. I’m a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, fitness instructor, and health educator with over 20 years of teaching and dance experience. I’m also a professionally trained ballroom dance instructor, an NSPA-certified personal trainer and strength and conditioning specialist, an ACE-certified health coach, and I hold a Master’s degree in Nutrition and Integrative Health.
I love blending yoga, dance, fitness, and paddleboarding to create classes that are energizing, grounding, and fun. From beach flows and SUP sessions on the water to dance-infused movement on land, my classes focus on building core strength, balance, and stability—while encouraging you to move with confidence, intention, and joy.
In addition to teaching public classes, I teach yoga teachers, lead continuing education workshops, and host wellness retreats. My goal is to create experiences that inspire growth, connection, and a little play—whether you’re stepping on a mat for the first time or deepening your path as a teacher.
My health and wellness journey started as a teenager and turned into a lifelong love of movement. Now, through Beach Bee Yoga, Dance, & SUP, I get to share that love by creating fun, feel-good classes that support total wellness of mind, body, and spirit.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Owning a small yoga studio has been one of the most meaningful and most challenging experiences of my life. I’ve faced dishonesty, broken trust, financial stress, and moments where people I believed in had harmful intentions. Leading a wellness space while navigating betrayal and uncertainty—especially through COVID—required more resilience than I ever expected. There were times I had to hold space for others while quietly holding myself together. Those experiences forced me to develop stronger boundaries, deeper discernment, and a clearer sense of leadership rooted in integrity. I didn’t just learn how to run a business—I learned how to stay grounded, values-driven, true to myself and steady, even when things were genuinely hard.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I grew up deeply driven by a desire to help others and a strong belief in the mind–body–spirit connection. That passion led me into teaching fitness and ballroom dance, and later into furthering my education as a nutritionist and health educator and lifestyle coach. Eventually, it grew into entrepreneurship and small business ownership, where I could bring all of those disciplines together under one philosophy of holistic wellness.
My work specializes in helping people build sustainable, real-life wellness—movement, nourishment, and mindset that actually fit their lives. I’m known for creating spaces that are welcoming, grounded, and transformative, where people feel supported rather than judged. I’m most proud of building a business rooted in integrity, resilience, and community, even through significant challenges. What sets me apart is my ability to integrate multiple modalities with compassion, strong boundaries, and lived experience—not just theory—while leading with authenticity and heart.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is what truly matters. Along my journey, I’ve experienced success, loss, and moments that tested me deeply. Becoming a mother changed everything. My daughter, Sophia, became my greatest teacher—she grounded me when things felt uncertain and reminded me why I chose this path in the first place. She taught me to lead with heart, set healthier boundaries, and measure success not just by what I build, but by who I’m becoming. That perspective has shaped me into a more compassionate, resilient, and intentional leader.
