Chelise Dever is a Registered Yoga Teacher RYT with Yoga Alliance which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School RYS  Hey fellow yogis! My name is Chelise and I am so excited to be a part of the Yoga Alliance family! Growing up I played a lot of sports with soccer and lacrosse being my focus I was very athletic and had a drive for intense workouts and competition In college I wanted to start to get into yoga and began to occasionally watch videos on YouTube and try to follow along I never could follow along super well to the YouTube videos but always enjoyed the concept of yoga  In February of one of my closest friends had been coming to Shanti for a while and invited me to come with her From there I took my first hot class and fell in love! I was taking - classes a week and really trying to get as flexible and strong as I could I initially was going for the intense workout that hot yoga would bring me I began to take a few stress relief classes with meditations and started to enjoy those as well  One day I took a hot class and something about it really hit me  I am normally not a very emotional person but I left feeling so touched and emotional and in tune with myself I had never in my life had a workout impact me in such a way!  From then I decided I wanted to do the YTT and continue to learn and grow in the path of yoga I thought I knew myself well but I have found throughout this journey I have learned so much more about myself! My goal is to continue my journey while helping others along the way to have their own beautiful experiences of yoga  I hope to share my love peace friendship and passion for yoga with each one of you!.
