“We had the pleasure of hosting Chala at Dogpound New York City for an incredible handstand workshop, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. Chala’s depth of knowledge in mobility exercises, mechanics, and handstand progressions and regressions was evident from the start. She taught our entire staff with such clarity and enthusiasm that even the most complex movements felt approachable. Chala’s hands-on approach and personalized feedback helped each of us improve our skills significantly in such a short period of time. We highly recommend her workshops to any individual or establishment looking to elevate their education program or personal handstand game. Thank you, Chala, for an unforgettable educational experience!”

“During her visit in Germany, Coach Chala offered workshops for our members on the topics of handstands and mobility.

She was incredibly knowledgeable and took our members through new movements and exercises in her classes.
The participants were enthusiastic and were able to make progress during the course thanks to Coach Chala's targeted support.

This was not the first time we have worked with Chala and we look forward to further opportunities to work with her in the future. We can recommend her work and expertise without reservation.”

“Coach Chala is guiding me through the most incredible training program to build the correct strength, mobility and alignment specifically for handstands. I used to go to the gym to 'train for being able to do handstand one day', but didn't realize I was avoiding the real work.

These workouts are hard! But rewarding. And without even training for straddle yet I just tried for fun tonight and held it for 15 seconds!!! Invest time and energy into your goals. Coach Chala makes it worth it.”

Working with Chala helped me to improve my performance during my MMA fights, also with my strength and balance! And the mindful somatic videos are a great activity to do as a meditation! Thank you Chala!”

“Chala’s mobility class was just what I needed after a long week of sitting at work. I used to do gymnastics and her session brought me back to those big stretch sessions which is just what my body desperately longed for. I’m ready for the open workout tomorrow! Thank you so much Chala!!”

“Mobility is the most challenging part of my fitness routine and Chala's class definitely addressed that. She showed us stretches that I had not been doing and, thankfully, how to modify them for a beginner. The class had a clear progression from moderate, preparatory movements to the more challenging ones. Overall, a great class.”

“If you’re looking for the perfect mobility class look no further! Chala’s class is welcoming to all levels and she offers practical stretches and flows for opening up the body. Chala’s instructions are clear and calming. As someone who’s been stretching on their own for a while, I’ve been looking for how to take my practice to the next level and I feel Chala provides just that. After just one class I feel more confident in how to work toward my mobility goals.”

“Chala is unique - a remarkable athlete in her own right, and unmatched in her coaching abilities. She desires to excel in everything she does and it comes through in how she leads you as a coach. I was nervous about my journey to get healthy and she really pushed me in a way I could trust her, something I had never had before. She will coach you to your abilities, push you but not break you. She really takes your health and safety to heart. She has a wealth of fitness knowledge and the character to sustain it. Anyone she chooses to coach will be fortunate to have her. “

“Chala's hatha yoga class was one of the best experience in my life an experience i want live again and again. Chala is a sofisticated hatha yoga teacher, one of the best. She knows good asanas can connect your body and mind and help you to connect with your Self. Her voice can connect you with your anima in this yoga experience. I recommend her to everyone want live a transpersonal experience with Hatha Yoga.”

“I reached out to Chala interested in her handstand work and ended up doing a meditation practice with her. Chala's authenticity and down to earth personality is extremely refreshing. I appreciated that she was willing to be flexible and work with me one on one when I was not seeking a full online subscription. She is a great meditation teacher and I hope to continue to work with her not only in meditation but her other areas of expertise as well.
Thank you Chala!”

“Through both observation and personal experience, Chala demonstrates the highest level of professionalism and dedication to the individual. Even in a group setting she makes you feel like the emphasis is all on you. She motivates, demonstrates, educates, and all the other ‘ates’ that represents simply the best. Chala is not afraid to get her hands dirty and join in on the fun either! But above all, her calming demeanor coupled with an extreme sense of patience, makes whoever has the joy of working with her easily feel more confident and able to accomplish anything. I could not more highly recommend any other coach to help guide and mentor a client. “

“Chala has great methodology to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. It's been helpful for me to stay active in gymnastics and paddling at 60+.”

Through a whole body concept, she helped me regain my health and fitness that lingering injuries previously limited me from achieving. Her programs make it easy to be consistent because they are both challenging and fun!!”

“Chala is an excellent coach when it comes to explaining the movements, describing the do's and don'ts, how to enter and exit any poses, and is conscientious about injury prevention. I've worked with her a few times and it has been much better working with her than trying to figure out how to mobility train on my own. I am not the most flexible individual but she incorporated warm up drills, techniques, and beginner movements that allowed me to be more flexible than I have in years, highly recommend her as both a mindfulness and mobility coach.”

“I contacted Chala with the desire to learn how to use momentum in movement. I have strength and control however, relying too heavily on these created injuries in the past. Chala keeps you challenged with compassion to your body. If you run into any stuck points or soreness she will address it immediately to avoid injury and assist you to keep growing with your goals.
Every goal I have she is just as committed as I am and you are working with someone who really cares about you. Professional, kind, patient and understanding. Her encouragement has given me confidence that I needed to do skills at the age of nearly 40 after a child I never thought possible. I am so happy with my progress and feel assured that I will continue to grow and get good results with her training. I cannot recommend Chala highly enough!”
