Chai Deva 

Chai Deva is a Nelson-based facilitator with over two decades of experience in embodied practices, breathwork, and performance-based self-regulation. His work is grounded in evidence-based approaches that help individuals shift from reactive to responsive states—enhancing clarity, focus, and resilience.

Drawing from a background that integrates Yoga, modern physiology, neuroscience-informed breath training, and precision-guided movement, Chai works with people to help them regulate stress, access deeper presence, and build sustainable mental and physical capacity. He is known for creating grounded, impactful experiences that go beyond theory—giving participants tools they can integrate into both high-pressure environments and everyday life.

Chai has worked with thousands of people, seeking not just peak performance, but deeper alignment and clarity in how they lead and live.
