Get To Know Chad

Why do you teach yoga?

• I teach yoga because I want to share what I have learned with others - creating a peaceful practice that isn’t hurried or rushed, a practice where people can feel refreshed in mind and body.

How long have you been practicing yoga?

• 24 years

What can I expect in your class?

• In my classes students can expect authenticity, humor, accessible poses, centered on a peaceful and calming experience. You will not find high energy, power, or hot classes that leave you exhausted when you're done.

What kind of music do you love to share in class?

• I have an eclectic taste in music, but for yoga I lean towards calm, instrumental, relaxing tones, but have been known to dabble in chanting, Enya-esque, gong/sound bowl type of music. I am a big fan of sound baths and whenever I can, I will incorporate sound into practice. It's just so good for the soul.

What’s your favorite Asana(pose)?

• My all-time favorite pose is child's pose as it stretches out my tightest areas in my shoulders and lower back, but my current favorite is half Moon. It hasn't always been accessible to me until recently and it gives me a sense of triumph and power.
