Chaney turned to movement as a means to process emotions, especially the panic attacks and suicidal thoughts she says she experienced after her twins were born.
“For me, yoga is a moving meditation,” Chaney said. “It gets the emotion through your body, it heals. And when you've been through a lot of trauma, you got to heal that to get it out your aura.”
Today, she’s a yoga instructor for women, children and even newborns, spurred by her mother’s incarceration to empower and educate others in Washington’s Ward 8, where 27% of families live below the poverty line and have limited access to mental health resources.
