iRest Certified Teacher
Chevy Chase, MD,

I hold masters degrees in both Clinical Social Work and Education and have worked in a variety of wonderful therapeutic and educational settings over the past 30 years. I am the Director of the Therapeutic Yoga Program at Circle Yoga in Washington, DC.

My work at Circle Yoga involves teaching traditional and therapeutic yoga, as well as iRest Yoga Nidra. I also teach classes in iRest Yoga Nidra at the Washington DC VA Hospital as part of the War Related Illnesses and Injuries Study Center. I have found the practice to be a wonderful adjunctive treatment for alleviating the symptoms of PTSD, Substance Abuse, Anxiety, Depression, and Chronic Pain. I am a registered yoga teacher and a Certified iRest Yoga Nidra teacher.

My intention is to weave together my years of clinical experience with the mind/body practices of yoga and meditation in order to empower and support people so that they may live life in a calm more balanced way.
