Her path

Experience that became a way of serving.

Chanel has been a yogini since 2009. In 2019, she earned her 200-hour Classical Yoga Teacher Training Certification from Kashi Atlanta under the leadership of Swami Jaya Devi Bhagavati.

Her work also includes approximately 10 years of birth doula experience, along with birth doula, breastfeeding and B.A.B.E. (Birthing and Beyond Education) training through the Academy of Certified Birth Educators.

Across every offering, the intention is consistent: thoughtful support, clear communication, and an experience that honors the unique needs, goals, and circumstances of each person or community.

The BE ALIGNED approach

Personal

Care is shaped to the individual, group, season and need—not forced into a one-size-fits-all experience.

Grounded

Yoga and birth support are offered with presence, preparation and respect for the body.

Accessible

Virtual options, donation-based public classes, and accessible birth-support options create more ways for people to participate and engage in services.

Her professionalism, communication and passion for yoga, people and wellness shine through.
