Welcome to YogaMoves, the website of Sadie Chanlett-Avery. Based in Oakland, CA, I am a certified yoga teacher and certified personal trainer with a unique approach to yoga, fitness and movement. With each class and client I emphasize:

• An informed approach to the body.
  
  Through detailed anatomical instruction and my ongoing training, I strive to offer students sound and safe opportunities to recover from injury, improve their fitness level and find overall well-being.


• A personalized practice.
  
  Even within the context of a large group class, I provide individual feedback, varied levels of difficulty and freedom for students to modify their practice. My private sessions allow the students to delve into specific issues such as healing an injury, approaching challenges or achieving fitness goals.


• Intuitive, pleasurable movement.
  
  While working with me, I hope that each student reconnects with their own desire for exercise and inherent joy from movement.


• Creativity.
  
  My innovation continually offers students new avenues to rediscover, heal and improve their bodies. I utilize creative sequencing, thought-provoking analogies and a multidisciplinary approach to engage the students' minds as well as transform their bodies.


• Fun and levity.
  
  When yoga can becomes too serious and exercise seems like chore, I try to lighten things up!
