I have been practicing yoga for several years and began seriously studying it after experiencing the benefits first hand.  I turned to yoga following major surgery, with goals of reducing the daily pain I was suffering and regaining the strength and flexibility I had lost.  After just two months of following a personal practice, I experienced not only dramatic physical improvement but I also achieved a level of peace and clarity that I hadn’t expected.  I hadn't been aware of the impact yoga would have on my emotional and spiritual well-being.  I am currently working on my 500-hour instructor certification in the yoga tradition of Krishnamacharya.

Having yoga in my life has created the space to allow my body and my spirit to heal.  We all deserve external space in which to move our bodies; but, more importantly, we deserve to create additional space within.  Yoga is a way to create space within our physical, emotional and spiritual selves.  We can only grow with a compassionate space that encourages such growth.  I chose the name The Yoga Space to acknowledge these ideas.

I have created The Yoga Space to be a supportive, inspiring space to explore the path that is unique to you.  Please explore this website and call me if you are interested in any of the retreats, classes or scheduling an individual session.

Namaste,

Chelle

What is the Krishnamacharya Tradition?

This tradition is a therapeutic form of yoga.  It is often practiced in a one-on-one or small group setting so that the class can be tailored to meet each individual’s goals and abilities.  One important aspect is assessing your current state prior to and following each yoga practice.  In this way the student and teacher are both aware of the impact the practice is having. 

Yoga is a process that evolves over time.  Our tradition recognizes that and as such places an emphasis on modifying the various aspects of the practice to best facilitate individual improvement.  For more information, visit the Krishnamacharya Healing Yoga Foundation.
