TESTIMONIAL: "If you are even contemplating taking a teacher training, Chaz is the person to take it from. Yoga is not just something Chaz does but it is truly a part of who she is and her knowledge is unbelievable. She knows each pose, the benefits, contraindications, modifications for anyone who needs them and shares her knowledge so lovingly, clearly, and thoroughly. I can not recommend her teacher training enough. " -Amy Brogan
