How Chaya Shack Passes Work
All classes and offerings within Chaya Shack are on a pre-registration basis - no drop in’s.
Just let me (Tina) know which class(es) you want to reserve a space with a quick text, call or email me, and your spot will be held or you will then be informed if the class is full. The schedule on the website will be updated regularly to show availability, but it’s always a good idea to ask even if it says it’s full! Change is a constant, after all… ;-)
*** Note: All “no show’s” will be counted as a ‘punch’ on your Shack Pass. ***
Cancellation policy
All registrations are held specifically for you and the class(es) you have chosen to hold space with. In order to ensure the business and teachers/instructors receive fair payment for their time prior and during services, we appreciate your understanding and respect of our cancellation policy.
Cancellations made within 48 hours:
Shack Class Pass - the ‘punch’ will still be counted off your Pass
Class/Workshops* (one-off, or series) - 25% will be refunded (75% non-refundable)
*full refund if the class or workshop is cancelled by the organizer
We do understand that ‘life happens’, and are willing to make exceptions with compassion for such times of emergency.
​
​
How to contact to hold your space…
Why pre-registration?
Because Chaya Shack offers quality services in an intimate space with relatively small groups, this policy is in place to ensure payments to our Facilitators and Instructors and overall operating costs can be paid so that Chaya Shack can continue to offer supportive service to our community.
Any schedule changes or cancellations would be shared through the pre-registration process, thus avoiding the inconvenience of dropping in for a class only to learn it's full or has been cancelled.
Our intention is to offer high quality and affordable value in a comfortable and fun environment to support you with ongoing practices of your favourite modalities, and exploration of new ones to raise your balance in all levels of Being - physical, mental and emotional, and spiritual.

WHAT IS CHAYA?
​
Chaya is a hebrew word for Life, it is a "miracle plant", and it is also the name of my dog!
Chaya Plant
Chaya (Cnidoscolus chayamansa) is a plant which is thought to be of Mayan origin. It is often referred to as a “miracle” or “superfood” plant due its’ high nutritional value and medicinal attributes. Chaya Shack will be growing
and propagating Estrella Chaya imported from Florida, and cuttings will be available for sale in 2022!

Chaya leaves were found to contain substantially greater amounts of nutrients than spinach leaves.
The chaya leaf is especially high in protein (5.7%), crude fiber (1.9%), calcium (199.4 mg/100 g),
potassium (217.2 mg/100g), iron (11.4 mg/100 g), vitamin C (164.7 mg/100 g), and carotene (0.085 mg/100 g).
The levels of chaya leaf nutrients, in this study, agree with published reports (Martin and Ruberte 1978; Munsell et al. 1949; Booth et al. 1992) and are two to threefold greater than most edible leafy green vegetables. In terms of the average nutritive value, chaya leaves [14.9] is by far superior to other leafy green vegetables such as spinach [6.4], amaranth [11.3], Chinese cabbage [7.0], and lettuce [5.4] (Grubben 1978). While some edible leafy green vegetables are usually good sources of mineral macronutrients (Levander 1990), chaya leaf furnishes appreciable quantities of several of the essential mineral macronutrients necessary for human health maintenance.

WHO IS CHAYA SHACK?
Chaya Bear
Hi! My name's Chaya, a.k.a. Little Monkey, a.k.a. Munchkin. I am 3 years old, and so far in my life I'm having a great time! I have experienced a LOT of love in my life so far, and in turn I just looove to give so much love to everyone I see, whatever the species! Except cats... for some reason I am obsessed with chasing them!?!
My name means "life", and I am a big lover of life! So, I get really excited when I meet new people. Barking is my only means of vocal communication, and it's my way of saying 'hi'. I've been told I have a loud bark for such a little monkey, bol (bark out loud). Please know I don't mean to scare you, only love you! Once I get to sniff and touch you, I calm down pretty quickly... unless you show me you want to play by being excited when you pet or talk with me. I will always be up for some play time! I'm looking forward to meeting you, and thank you for helping me learn calm behaviors as I continue to grow up! xo ♡
Hi! My name's Tina, I am the owner and lead steward of Chaya Shack, and I am so very excited and honored to be a part of this loving creation.
I am thrilled to be alive in these times of unprecedented transformation and elevation of human consciousness! As an eternal optimist (with eyes wide open) who's life's work is to support others through this process, I love to share the importance of exploring perspective to facilitate ease of change and healing in these seemingly chaotic times.
I live in growing awe of humanity's innate beauty and powerfulness, and nothing gives me more joy than to experience someone in one of those epiphanous moments of Self awareness... you know, those moments where dots suddenly connect to create a higher clarity of who we are which changes everything in our lives?! Ya, those moments... they fill me right up! Whether they're "mine" or "yours", it effects us all, and it's wonderful.
​
Tina Baudon
I welcome you to Chaya Shack with an open heart, and look forward to co-creating exponentially expanding loving energies with you all!
WHY IS CHAYA SHACK?
​
On a personal level, Chaya Shack is an accumulative result of my (Tina's) prayers. It is an expression that allows me to thrive in all the ways I am 'wired' to.
​
On a collective level, Chaya Shack has been created to support the rapid evolution of consciousness that humanity is experiencing now.
​
On a local level, Chaya Shack aims to collaborate with our community's gifted professionals through various offerings in order to provide loving service for those who are on, or feeling called to, a path of holistic wellness.
