Chance York
YOGA INSTRUCTOR, ENERGY ENTREPRENEUR, MINDFULNESS EDUCATOR
Chance believes that neuroplasticity is a lifestyle. When they say, “perception is reality,” Chance is a person who spends his life researching, practicing, and teaching techniques to help a person shift their perception from being a victim of circumstance to being the curator of opportunity. Every breath, every thought can be a choice: Calm or chaos, peace or panic.
Chance has assumed a lot of roles in his search for truth and connection; a student, an educator, a musician, a world traveler, a dabbling martial artist. Yoga had already proven to be a very viable practice for Chance, in his late teens, but was later mostly forgotten and eclipsed by other endeavours. It wasn’t until much later in life, that his lifestyle had become progressively, unfulfilling, unsustainable, unhealthy and chaotic, with deep lows and hopelessness. Yoga and meditation reemerged as the source of transformation, self-realization, and purpose.
Chance was trained as a certified Yoga instructor by Matthew Portwood, Jaina Portwood, and Vie Boheme, and continued voraciously consuming information and practicing from many teachers of holistic healing, philosophy, and neuroscience, both ancient and contemporary. He came to the firm conclusion that there are many ways to reach our best self, but they all require our truly most valuable currencies; time and attention.
