Multifaceted yoga entrepreneur, Master Yoga Teacher with over 25 years' experience, and international transformational retreat leader, Chaz’s popular bi-coastal classes, Yoga Coaching for Athletes, ON DEMAND platform, and sold-out global retreats are known for facilitating life-changing results... and they're one helluva good time!
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 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 empower us, free us from the cages of our fear, increase our self-awareness, and help us get out of our own way so that we can evolve and open ourselves to the amazing life that has been waiting for us to live!
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.
Loosely referred to as a "Yogi to 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.
Chaz serves as a Yoga Coach for athletes and teams on the pro, college, and high school 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 an athlete 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 Advisor" 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, 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.
"No matter how our paths cross - whether we're singing and dancing together in class in person or ONLINE, being a part of a team where my sole purpose is to help you reignite your confidence and team spirit, practicing ON DEMAND with us at 3 AM one night because you can't sleep, or you rediscover and come home to yourself on a retreat in some distant, exotic paradise, it's time to celebrate and thrive!"

Chaz as Spiritual Adviser and Music Supervisor in Hollywood
Chaz had the great privilege of serving as "Spiritual Adviser" and Music Supervisor on her student Susan Walter's (writer/director) film "ALL I WISH ," starring Sharon Stone, Tony Goldwyn, Ellen Burstyn, Gilles Marini, Famke Jansenn, etc.. It was a great honor to integrate into the soundtrack the music of her student and singer-songwriter extraordinaire Jennifer Foster. She is so proud of these 2 most extraordinary women and humbled by their courage to share their gifts with the world. It's SUCH a beautiful film.
