Yoga Journey
Shortly after graduating from AMDA College and Conservatory, Chasity found yoga. She started out as a karmi yoga student at YogaVibe WeHo, and three months later she signed up for a 200hr yoga teacher training program. She completed her 200 hours with Yoga108: Mind, Body, Spirit under the mentorship of Dana Kraft & Jennifer Smith. The training was hosted at the beautiful holistic healing center, La Maida Institute in North Hollywood, California.

Her classes are sequenced around inspiring and empowering practitioners to reach inner liberation and peace through movement, breath, endurance, focus, and love. Chasity incorporates meditation and pranayama exercises in her classes because she is an advocate for the true form of Yoga.
Chasity knows that yoga is much more than physical movement. The movement meditation asana practice is supported with breath awareness, meditation and the understanding/comprehension that we are all spiritual beings immersed into a human experience.
Being able to guide others through re-discovering their human vessels and find their connection with their higher self, brings Chasity so much gratitude and always deepens her own awareness. Once a teacher, always a student.
Service to the many will bring you to greatness.
