Chandra Easton

Chandra Easton has taught yoga and meditation for 7 years, blending the receptive yin style of yoga with more active, dynamic forms to prepare the body and mind for meditation. Chandra’s teaching is fueled by the perspective that yoga, while being a wonderful tool for cultivating health, is essentially preparation for the transformative insights gained through meditation. She has studied Buddhist philosophy and Tibetan language at the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala, India, founded by H. H. the Dalai Lama. Chandra later received a degree from the Religious Studies Department at UC Santa Barbara where she worked on the translation of Tibetan Buddhist texts on meditation. Chandra integrates her academic studies into her teaching of both meditation and yoga in order to encourage a deeper understanding and appreciation of the practices. In 2007, Chandra co-founded Metta Journeys (www.mettajourneys.com), a service oriented organization that offers yoga retreats internationally to help women and children in developing countries.
