Instructor & Staff Information
Chris Balser
Chris has trained elite athletes and raced bicycles competitively for 18 years, and when not teaching he directs the professional bicycle fit service for Erik's Bike Shop. His introduction to asana came from a desire to improve physical performance and training techniques; what he found was a holistic experience beyond his imagination. Certified through the Expanding Light, at Ananda Sangha, Chris owns passion for the schools of Ashtanga Vinyasa, Iyengar, and Gentle Hatha, staying true to each form, or blending, as life sometimes demands. He is especially thankful to Manju Jois, Doug Swenson, Christopher Ken Baxter, Gyandev & Blanch McCord, Amy Patee, Monique Maxwell, and Lisa Belfiori for their interest, confrontation, love and support.
