Chi-Town Shakti
Chaitaya Strouse, RYT 200
About Chaitanya Strouse, RYT 200:
Chaitanya hails from the windy walks of Chicago: growing up here, in the suburbs; and then undergraduate schooling at Northwestern. During the late summer of 2008, he traveled to wind-swept mountains of Colorado to study to become a yoga instructor at Shoshoni Yoga Retreat. There he completed his CYT-200 Yoga Teacher & Level 1 Meditation Teacher training, as well as studies in Pranayama, Anatomy, Ayurveda, and Yogic Philosophy – studying with Gayatri Daughtry, Swami Kripanada, and many others. Since teaching at Chi-Town Shakti – starting the day it opened – he has taught Vinyasa, Sunrise Yoga, Kids’ Yoga, and so much more – including creating the 108 Sun Salutation workshop series. He loves using Yoga to explore: to test the limits of endurance, depth of comfort, and ability to focus regardless of what else is going on. “A natural joy arises from the quiet within…” says Swami Devanada, and agrees Chaitanya. Yoga should be fun: making you lighter, brighter, and happier inside. Elements of his classes often include Storytelling, Chanting, Meditation, Pranayama, Structural Awareness, and Laughter.
