Holistic Lifestyle & Adaptive Yoga for People with Multiple Sclerosis and Similar Conditions

A gifted and popular teacher, Chaya was inspired to share the healing power of Adaptive Yoga and Ayurveda by her mother who has MS.

Chaya offers weekly Adaptive Yoga Classes and works with individuals in her private practice.She has also created retreats and programs that include:

  • Safe and appropriate yoga postures for increased flexibility, strength and
    movement without pain
  • Postures, breathing, mediation, restoratives, deep relaxation, wholesome
    daily routines, and fun
  • Tools for awareness, managing stress, optimal diet, and self-care
  • Skills to restore balance and empower you to make clear decisions about your life
  • Opportunities to gain insights into yourself and your health


These programs are designed with the needs of those with MS in mind, though it is also useful for their caregivers, as well as providing training for yoga teachers and other health professionals.

Chaya’s programs are a balance of “doing” and “being.” There is appropriate action and sharing of technical knowledge, deep relaxation and honoring the qualities of consciousness, transformation and presence that provide the necessary integration of the body, mind and spirit to feel rejuvenated and inspired. With divine mastery and the flow of grace, students may cultivate a deep sense of peace and ease of well being.

CECs are available for nurses and physical therapists and CEUs are available for yoga teachers.
