Shanti Yoga

Chantal believes every day is better once you've taken time to unroll your mat and she brings her enthusiasm and love of yoga to every class she teaches. "Yoga should be fun," she often says.

Karlito Notargiovanni

Yoga for the People

After years of practice, Yoga has demonstrated to me that its system affects us on deeper levels, conscious or not it connects us to it all. I feel so blessed to have been teaching fitness for over a decade and delighted that I can share the Art of Yoga and its profound teachings to my students. I encourage my students to fine-tune their intimate connection to their body, with freedom of movement and breath, fluidity, alignment. Tuning into their true nature by dedicating themselves every moment. All moving towards the light that shines so bright in all of us, one breath at a time. OM. Read the profile >>
