Christie Roome brings to the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga a strong background in community engagement, arts education, and program coordination. For more than 15 years, she has led projects that foster connection, creativity, and belonging, including youth theatre festivals, mental health summits, and collaborative initiatives for local non-profits.
She is a certified hatha yoga and yoga nidra teacher, with a deep respect for yoga as a path toward wholeness and inner balance.
Outside of work, Christie is an actor and writer currently developing a one-woman show and a memoir. When she is not at the Centre, she teaches theatre to children, enjoys hiking Salt Spring’s trails, attending live theatre, reading, and tending her garden. She is endlessly curious about human stories and loves learning alongside others.
What she values most about the Centre is the people: warm, welcoming, and full of laughter. She appreciates its values-driven community and genuine sense of purpose, as well as the chance to work on this beautiful land and pause for reflection in the Satsang room or at Ganesh Temple.
