Private Yoga (In-person or zoom)

I create a custom experience to center your mind and get you in tuned with your body. What brings the two together is the awareness of breath. I tailor the yoga class to the areas that need stretching, strengthening, flexibility and mobility. I’ll teach from a range of gentle restorative poses, deep stretching, to sweaty vinyasa flows, and long holding hatha poses.

Through the Zoom meeting, I’ll be able to watch you and/or your group to ensure your posture is in alignment and that you’re practicing in a safe way.

My yoga experience with you brings awareness to the body so that the practice can reveal where healing is needed and transformation can take place.  I believe that the way in which we explore our edge on our mats is connected to how we can better control our emotions and connect to our spirit.  In order to reach our edge, we must go deeper within the mind and explore the uncomfortable places in the body using asana and meditation.   My friendly and spunky personality brings forth inspiring words to create a safe space, allowing students to be tuned in, strong, and authentic on their mats.

My approach to teaching comes from the belief that how well we take care of ourselves is an offering to our world.  My experience as a Reiki practitioner since 2009 showed me that by working through fear is when courage is revealed.  It is through our darkness that we find our light.  With a self-care practice using yoga and Reiki, we can be uplifted and be of better service to others. My classes feature music, encouraging words and hands-on adjustments.  You may even feel the Reiki energy come through especially during savasana.

Just want to say again how much we love seeing Chona on Saturdays. She’s really, really gifted and fantastic. Never had a class like it. It’s very challenging, and yet restful and centering as well as spiritual every single Saturday.

Really enjoying her instructing a ton, and hope more people get to experience her.

Chona does really great classes that are interesting and athletic while still being approachable for beginners/intermediates. Her attitude is really great! I can’t speak for the other instructors, but highly recommend Chona’s classes
