She believes yoga should not be serious, as life is serious enough. Although Chaz takes a lighter approach, she is serious when it comes to capitalizing on the healing benefits yoga affords. Chaz asks her students and business clients to ask themselves tough questions, all the while exposing them to accessible spirituality and profound healing. She believes yoga and "doing the work" is designed to open us, raise our consciousness, free us from the cages of our ego and fear, and help us get out of our own way so that we can evolve into the happy and successful person we are meant to be.
A true Jersey girl and celebrity yoga teacher, Chaz teaches with a level of irreverently reverent humor and insight. Through a lively, eclectic playlist, and spirituality- infused creative sequencing, she encourages people to discover their own yoga and ways in which to express themselves through their movement.
Often loosely referred to as a "Yogi to the the Stars", an extensive list of celebrity clients have enjoyed Chaz's classes over the years, although she upholds their privacy. She is grateful to also have a long roster of happy corporate yoga clients.
Additionally, Chaz serves as a Yoga Coach for athletes and teams on the pro, college, high school, and community levels, where she serves as a "secret weapon" in the competitive sport world. Without question, the physical benefits of Yoga with Chaz are infinite, but more importantly, the mental clarity, calmness, and laser-focus that comes from Yoga with Chaz is truly the most beneficial. Chaz helps the athlete get out of his/her own way so they become the best version of themselves.
Named "Best New LA Yoga Instructor" in LA Family Magazine, Chaz was featured on The Dr. Phil Show, ABC7, and in Discover The Gift, a movie featuring HH Dalai Lama, Rev. Michael Beckwith, Marianne Williamson, and other spiritual leaders. Chaz also served as "Spiritual Adviser" on the set of ""All I Wish," a movie starring Sharon Stone. A lululemon ambassador and Yoga Gives Back Ambassador, she has modeled for yoga companies such as Bhakti Ware and YogaWorks.
It all began when Chaz was introduced to the benefits of yoga as an adolescent. As a 14-year-old model rife with body image issues and various eating disorders, Chaz found peace on her yoga mat. Chaz graduated from Rutgers College with Highest Honors with a degree in Genetics and high hopes of a PhD. Although she enjoyed the discipline inherent in the academic research world, she felt a deeper calling. Chaz then met her teacher, Gurmukh Noury of Yoga of India, who saw a unique light in her. Gurmukh went on to convince Chaz to become a yoga teacher and enroll in his teacher training program. In addition to yoga, visualization, and deep relaxation techniques, Chaz learned the very rewarding and healing practice of Thai yoga massage. She received her 500 hour certification from The Art of Yoga in Modesto.
In 2006, Chaz founded Sisters Yoga and Yoga with Chaz School (200 hour Yoga Alliance certified). Having sold the company, Chaz now serves as a yoga business consultant for yoga studios all across the globe looking to boost and build their business and community.

(RADIO SHOW INTERVIEW)
I am so honored to have been interviewed by Shaman Randi Maggid for her new radio show on healthylife.net . The title of our interview: "The climb toward a whole-hearted life." In it, I get really personal as to the ways the various struggles in my life have shaped and defined who I am and why I am so compelled to help and be of service. Life hasn't been easy, (understatement) but it's from the place of breaking, loss, and falling apart that I strive to help others put back together the jagged pieces of their life- a beautiful mosaic is built and whole-hearted life is created. We do it one retreat at a time.
Randi and I had a blast in this interview. We always do. Everything we do together is always revealing, deep, and FUN! So grateful to have the privilege of collaborating with this woman on retreats all over the world. Randi's breathwork experiences are simply and truly life changing.
