I met Nina Crist over Zoom in late February, after a mutual friend had introduced us, thinking we’d enjoy working together. Nina teaches yoga and martial arts, but what really hooked me was that when she was 17, she left home to live as a disciple at a black belt dojo in the woods in northern Maine. On this 30-acre property a portion of which was only accessible by canoe she inhabited a small cabin, heated only by a wood stove.
What can I say? I have a thing for strong women who make their own way.
