Bio

Movement Coach Chala blends over 14 years of experience in competitive team gymnastics coaching, CrossFit™, strength conditioning, and yoga with a mindful, health-focused approach to training. Her signature method, Somatika™, combines goal-oriented athletic training with somatic awareness techniques. This unique approach helps both athletes and beginners build whole-body strength, prevent injury, and reconnect with their bodies as conscious partners in movement. Chala’s passion was born from her own story—as a former competitive gymnast who walked away from the sport’s destructive culture, she created a new path rooted in body awareness, play, and longevity. She now coaches clients around the world, has trained CrossFit™ Games athletes, taught workshops across Europe and the U.S., and inspired hundreds of thousands through her online community.
