"I met Chad at the very beginning of my yoga journey. I had not enjoyed my first class (with someone else) and came to his class quite discouraged. That very class transformed my experience about yoga and over a year later, I am so very proud of how far I have come and how much my experience has transformed my life. Chad supported my journey by being very attentive to both my physical, spiritual and emotional development. He made it safe for me to be a beginner and provided specific instruction tailored to my growing strength and flexibility. He gave me the support I needed to stretch and accomplish things that surpassed my beliefs about myself, and always provides encouragement, kindness and connection. He is a model teacher and embodies the principles of Anusara with humility and grace."
