Chae Yang

Chae began practicing yoga in 2000 and her love of the nourishing nature of yoga supported continuous practices and studies in Hatha Yoga (Yoga Postures), Ayurveda (Yoga's sister science), Breath Work, Meditation and Yoga Philosophy.  For Chae, the practices mirror the many sided nature of being human to refine and evolve through many cycles.  Witnessing life change in her students, self and family from a Yoga and Ayurvedic lense, inspired her studies in Pre-Natal Yoga, Yoga for Aging, Pilates and various exercise modalities. 

Her Certifications include 500 Hours Vinyasa Flow Yoga, 500 Hours Himalayan Tradition Yoga, 400 Hours Alignment Yoga, Prenatal Postpartum Yoga, Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist, Ayurvedic Health Counselor, ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Mat Pilates, Springboard Pilates.  She has been teaching since 2005 and facilitating Yoga Alliance accredited Yoga Teacher Trainings since 2009.  Expect classes that are informative, soulful and explorative to beats like Trodding by Natty King and Orange Sky by Alexi Murdoch.  Her favorite pose is Warrior 3, as it reminds her that life is about balancing between polarities robustly.

Her bucket lists include return visits to India, the roots of yoga and Korea, the roots of her birth.  With roots in Philly where she and her father immigrated to in 1975, she enjoys small business eats at Royal Izakaya, A MANO and Spicy Masala.

When Chae is not studying, playing on a yoga mat/springboard, personal training or home making, you'll find her walking on the beach often with her husband or playing with their cats Joy and Vira.
