ABOUT ME

 Chantale Bourdages, 200hr YTT & Bioenergetics therapist

Chantale was born and raised north of Montreal learning about nature & gardening while training in dance, alpine skiing and track & field.
 After years of traveling, an associates degree in Humanities from Canada and studies in Literature in Düsseldorf, Germany, she completed a certification as a Bioenergetic Therapist and a training in Breath Work. 

In 2009 she immigrated to the United States and studied yoga under the care of Paula Heitzner, with whom she completed her 200hr-YTT in Vinyasa & Hatha yoga in 2020. The same year she founded Breathe On Yoga and joined the Ta Ra Institute.

​

Seeing a great demand for accessible yoga, she started teaching Chair Yoga. All her classes focus on bringing the wonderful health and spiritual benefits of Yoga to everyone. Through creative sequences, Bioenergetics and the use of props, the classes help restore, build, maintain flexibility and strength, deal with past & present injuries or work towards lessening the effects of time on the body while developing wellness and self-care for the mat and everyday life. 

​

From 2023-25 she joined the board of the Yoga Teacher Association of the Hudson Valley, an organization offering continuing education for Yoga teachers and practitioners.
She recently started studying Deep tissue massage under the care of Dr. Tashi Dolma.
