CHALA MOVES

Coach Chala is the founder of MINDFUL SOMATICS™, a health focused handstand, strength and mobility training combining goal and skill orientated athletic movements with conscious somatic techniques to reconnect to your body as a whole being and unlock new, pain-free strength and dream skills.
Chala’s approach to coaching and training, whether it's handstands, gymnastics, CrossFit or strength conditioning, is not just physical, but also connecting to your mind and body from the ground up and learning to listen to its needs to know when it can be taken to new levels. Through online coaching or in-person training, Chala teaches how we can become teammates with our body and together reaching new highs and goals in your training.
Coach Chala is a free spirit originally from Montana, USA. Growing up as a competitive gymnast, she quit the performative aspect of the sport due to injuries. This experience of destructive training made her passionate about creating her own health focused training program now known as Mindful Somatics™. She continued coaching it for the last 13 years, from beginner to optional level teams, as well as hosting gymnastic and handstand workshops at Fitness- and CrossFit and Yoga gyms all over the U.S. and Europe. 
Chala is inspiring hundreds of thousands followers on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram to follow her on her passionate journey of coaching and building a global community.
