About Christianne Asper-Contant, CAS, RYT-500: Your Compass for Well-Being

In a world overflowing with health advice and endless wellness trends, it is not uncommon to disconnect from your body’s true needs. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the endless pursuit of “doing more,” battled a restless mind, or struggled to find genuine ease in your relationship with your body, food, or sleep, then you’ve landed in good soil.

My greatest joy lies in guiding people back to their true north, helping them quiet the noise and reclaim their inner compass. This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about reclaiming that innate common sense within all of us that knows just how to cultivate self-agency for well-being and thrive amidst life’s growing demands with a light, resilient spirit. I’m Christianne, and I’m here to share the practical, compassionate tools that helped me and countless others find harmony amidst the chaos. If you’re yearning to reconnect with what truly matters, to find a sense of deep peace and vibrant living, you’ve found a kindred spirit.

My Mission

My mission is simple: to help you remember your inherent wholeness. I serve as your compassionate guide, translating nature’s timeless wisdom into practical tools for greater ease. My aim is to support you in cultivating a sustained sense of wonder, inviting playfulness back into your life, and ultimately guiding you to reconnect with the inner compass that leads you to dynamic balance and vibrant vitality. This is about finding your unique way back to well-being.

My Approach & Credentials

My unique method is rooted in ‘Bem Estar’ — a term from my native tongue that represents the “ease of living from your inner compass.” I guide you in fostering this delicate ‘Art Form’ by addressing key pillars like deep rest, sustaining vitality, and nourishment through food wisdom. Through our work together, you are always encouraged to play an active, empowered role in your own well-being journey.

Having dedicated more than half my life to this path, my comprehensive background seamlessly integrates my Psychology degree and decade-plus as an ACE-certified Health Coach with my deep immersion in the wisdom sciences. I became a Clinical Ayurveda Specialist (CAS) in 2003 from The California College of Ayurveda, and have continuously deepened in maturity of understanding through studies under renowned teachers like Dr. Marc Halpern, Dr. David Frawley and Dr. Vasant Lad. I became a Yoga Teacher in 2008, and have since maintained ERYT-500  with specializations in Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy, Yoga Nidra, Relax and Renew®, and Advanced Teacher Training.

Based in Rochester, NY, I also serve as the Yoga Director at The Assisi Institute. Alongside this, I am the driving force behind Well-being Compass—my coaching and wellness practice. Consider me your ‘personal navigator’ on your unique path to harmony, ease, and awe. You’ll feel held, not judged, as we explore your way toward your inner compass and cultivate a life seduced by wonder, one simple, intentional practice at a time.

My Approach: Small Steps, Big Shifts

In this short video, I share the heart of my philosophy: cultivating lasting well-being through gentle, consistent, everyday practices. Discover how small, intentional shifts can lead to profound and sustained harmony in your life.

My superb teacher has eased me into this new world of Ayurveda which has changed my life in ways too numerous to list. I have developed an understanding of how to maintain health and peace during some very trying life challenges
Alice HolzmanConsultant Los Angeles CA
Through our sessions and your knowledge and guidance, I have become more aware of my doshas, sensitivities, and imbalances. This has empowered me to be a leader of myself in making appropriate choices to care for my body and support my health. Ayurveda is the most effective way I have found to care for myself. I keep coming back to you not only because you offer long-term solutions that work without side effects but also because your approach to body imbalances is so gentle and because of your sincere and genuine care, I feel safe with you.

Christianne’s physical cues for technique and postures are sooooo helpful. She has a wonderful way of working with language related to the physical body so that I can deepen a pose and maintain proper alignment. Significant technical expertise was integrated into a practical environment to accommodate many body types.
