Team Earth-Board

The Beginnings of Team Earth-Board started with father and son, Chuck and Ryan Christie. They teamed up, each with their own expertise, to create a tool to help people rediscover the “Joy of Movement.” Combining Chuck’s 50+ years of experience as a builder, sculpture, artist, and artisan and Ryan’s 15+ years as a Movement Coach, they have been instrumental in the evolution of the Shena Board, with roots in Persian Yoga, into what you see and experience as the Earth-Board.

Sherry Christie - Sherry has been the digital communications force behind Team Earth-Board reaching customers around the globe. She is also mother to Ryan and wife of 47 years, which at it’s roots makes Team Earth-Board a family built business. Sherry loves being in nature and growing and nourishing plants of all kinds including those which provide food., which she can share her joy of cooking through her delicious meals. She has two other sons, Brandon and Brett, along with two grand-daughters, Trista and Taryn. She loves her family very much and has been a keeper of her family stories/history (Naab and Bellucci family)

 
 
 

Ryan Christie - born with a “joy of movement” which increased his connection to nature, Ryan has loved to share his experiences with those who are open are receptive to the Holistic message of a life balancing growth in Body, Mind, and Spirit. Ryan dives deeper on a daily basis so he can better support those who are traveling deeper in their own lives so they continue to build their confidence in expansion and expression.

 
 

Chuck Christie - has lived a life full of experience including using his hands to create and make all variety of structures, sculptures, tools, and paintings. His passion for creativity allows him to transform and repurpose all manner of mediums to serve a new and wonderful purpose. Chuck’s love of movement was expressed through his participation in sports like basketball, track and field, and American Football. He also has many years experience coaching a wide range of people, including his 3 sons, in physical training and recovery, movement and sport specific skills.

 
 

Steve Oates - Steve never was what you'd call "sporty". But later he found the value and fun in being fit and training both mind and body. His background is in the law, at first in England, then in the UN system and in the private sector, where labour standards are a big issue. That legal viewpoint helps as we develop the Earth-Board enterprise. With Ryan as coach these six years now, there are many experiments and variations and different experiences. But whatever the move, the Earth-Board adds a twist and a tweak. You would not believe how inventive you can get with it. And the intrigue of the culture behind it is yet another dimension to explore.
