Aligned Living Mentorship
a new and integrative mentorship experience to align your unique humanity with your divine purpose
You’re designed
for alignment
This space is created as an antidote to spiritually performative and misaligned living. We’ll explore and bring forth the fragmented aspects of self to light for full embodiment, deep healing, and real connection through the teachings of Yoga and other spiritual philosophy. We gather to re-align with our heart’s intention, recall and transmit inner intelligence, uplift and free our voice, and unify with personal truth for righteous and intentional living.
How this will go down
Through the passionate and sincere guidance of your mentor, Chanel Vanzant Garrand, conscious, like-hearted community, a thirst for spiritual discovery, personal excavation, and professional revolution, you’ll collect proven methods and timeless tools as you discover your Dharma and align with your most authentic style of existing.
Choose between a 3-month journey or a 5-month immersion
3-MONTH JOURNEY
The 90-day mentorship journey is designed for those who crave and thrive in communal learning environments. Our time, content, and larger goals will be built upon the energy of the Aligned Living collective.
5-MONTH IMMERSION
Our signature 5-month immersion is created for those who enjoy learning in groups, and also yearn for a highly personalized experience through x2 2-hour 1:1 private customized sessions with Chanel, a 4-hour closing ritual & integration ceremony, plus graduation dinner, and a 30-minute privately guided photography experience to capture your Soul’s essence.
HOW THIS WILL GO
After our initial 3-month journey as a mentorship group closes, we hone in on the unique work of your individualized path for 2 additional months.
WHAT WILL THOSE 2 ADDED MONTHS COVER?
Maybe you want assistance designing an impactful offering of your own. Or you might want to learn how to play instruments for healing purposes or how to host a transformative ceremony for yourself and loved ones. Perhaps you’d like spiritual guidance on where to take your business or relationship next in a private reading and life mapping. Or you may desire assistance in creating charismatic and soulful Yoga classes to teach to the audience of your dreams.
Whatever the reason you signed up, this is your time to cultivate that intention into actualization.
Price breakdown below.
“Spending more time with you is one of the biggest highlights of my year. I am feeling more inner and outer freedom as my kids grow older and I learn myself. I have always vibrated from a space of lack and this was the year where all of that turned around. I now exist from fullness and I have you to thank you for that. Truly. Thank you.”
Words from Arianna S, Teacher Rising Mentorship 2025
Not Your Average Mentorship
Your most profound gifts and contributions - the ones you yearn to share most with the world - may only be found when you commit to living aligned.
When our life fails to parallel our inner truth, the body and mind operate from modes of survival - leading to poor decision making, physical ailments, zigzagging career paths, frequent missteps, harmful speech, lost opportunity, clouded judgment, disingenuous relationships, professional stagnation, spiritual hunger, and lasting misfortunes.
Living in alignment unclenches the entire system and raises our energetic frequency to call in experiences that support and feed our walk to Wholeness - this work, in turn, supports the awakening of everyone else around you - your clients, your children, your spouse, your friends.
Become a student again - This (de)program is designed for both certified Yoga teachers & students of Yoga alike; our richness lies in our diversity.
We’ll engage with the philosophy of Yoga and other ancient, gnostic teachings to grow your voice & unique message; nurture your spirit & deepen your Dharma; and expand your personal wisdom for professional flourishing beyond your current conception.
This work applies to all of us, no matter your field of study.
You will unveil & reclaim dormant aspects of your True Nature to live confidently beyond what’s been comfortable, known, and falsely safe.
Over the course of 3 or 5 intentional months, your birthright to live authentic and aligned with ease & grace - the one that is authored by your innermost Self - will only grow in proportion to the work, energy and space that you cultivate inward.
Our mentorship will nourish the foundation for deep & meaningful work to come and re-inspire you to be a lifetime student of Life, first and foremost.
This experience will be the supportive basecamp for the mountain you’ll climb during our time together.
Together, we’ll dive deep to fly high into further alignment and personal knowing.
This high-touch, hybrid experience will primarily take place in-person at Chanel’s sanctuary and retreat space in Dover, Florida, as well as online in a live and accessible classroom.
Consciously paced during the spring and summer months of 2026, we will utilize the teachings of the natural seasons as the backdrop to this experience.
Join us for Aligned Living Mentorship 2026.
You were not made to get far on a path that was not created for you.
Aligned Living Mentorship will…NOURISH your Soul; CLARIFY your heart’s unique vision; AWAKEN you from the inside out; DEFINE your true meaning of Yoga; ILLUMINATE your Dharma; and BIRTH your personalized contribution to the progression and healing of society.
The decision to invest your resources into mentorship is a big one; we thank you for your interest in joining us for this life-enhancing experience where all are invited to align their becoming.
Your Dharma Awaits.
In Gratitude,
Chanel Vanzant Garrand

mEET YOUR MENTOR,
Chanel Vanzant Garrand

My mentorship style is heart-opening, transparent, and compassionately direct. I love when my mentees excitedly want to do the work, but I love even more when they come across the inevitable moment when they rather run in the other direction; when they hesitate, question, and act out the very reason they are in a mentorship to begin with - this is when the real work can begin.
There also isn’t anything that is off limits as it relates to my professional and personal walk to Oneness that I am not ready to share with my students. They know that they can go to the edge with me and freely experiment new modes of being in my presence.
I will not ask my students to go somewhere that I have not tried myself. I am a student of Life as much as they are; I am here to help them integrate, align and become who they were born to Be with grace, humility, and courage, with full honesty that I am doing the same.
-
A skillful, gracious, and experienced mentor can be a life-changing tool that holds the power to accelerate and assist in the alignment of your life, long after the program is done. A mentor should want your work to naturally surpass theirs as you embody and practice the teachings from their personal life experience.
Simply put, a mentor illuminates and clarifies the path for you to walk with more confidence knowing that you aren’t alone in your journey to Fullness. A mentor points to the Moon as you discover how you want to get there.
Investing in the right mentor, can save you years of suffering and provide you years of joy.
-
My teaching style is known to blend a range of complimenting modalities that feed into one another for promotion and acceleration of soul progression and spiritual well-roundedness. I believe in your unique path, not the forcing of my own.
Together, we will discover how to live a life of congruence and miraculously pursue alignment of the highest order in a way that is completely unique and right for you.
If you’re down to expand your being, then yes, I am the right mentor for you.
-
With over 800 hours of certified yoga training and more than 10,000 hours of live instruction, I blend my certified specialization in Meditation, Yin Yoga, Trauma Informed Yoga, Pre- and Post-Natal Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Yoga for Beginners, and Vinyasa to create a nurturing practice for your specific needs.
My offerings also incorporate an array of live instruments across multiple cultures, ritual, ceremony, breath work, guided visualization, and somatic therapeutic techniques to unveil what may be repressed, lost, or passed through you generationally.
My professional and personal interest lie in the dormant aspects of our Soul experience as human. I am especially drawn to grief and birth work. My latest offerings infuse the acknowledgment of sorrow and beauty in all of our lives; this truth connects us all.
I use the teachings of Yoga, the natural world, the unseen realms, lost feminine wisdom, Divinity, shamanism, and other spiritual guidance to inform and support my work with Self and others.
My most rigorous training has been and continues to be my work as a mother to many children and a devoted wife to my husband in law enforcement.
I have authored and been featured in many wellness and yoga related trainings and co-created a successful Yoga mentorship of my own in 2025. It is through these experience that I have found an authentic home to blend my affection for God with a Masters of Education degree in Curriculum and Design.
I began teaching Yoga in 2016 and have created and served as hostess for over a dozen Yoga and mindfulness related retreats since 2022. I have owned my own business in this work since 2019 and show no sign of turning back now. In 2024, my husband and I have birthed our own retreat business on our land of 10-acres in Dover, Florida.
I am also a certified Journal Therapist where I exercise my adoration of therapeutic writing for liberation and self understanding. I believe writing is a powerful and holy ground to meet your innermost Self and have sold hand-crafted journals for the last 6 years.

No matter your experience or field of study, this program intends to accentuate the greatest work of all: your life. When our heart is aligned with our external life, we can’t help but emanate that frequency of harmony onto the world. Our work becomes richer, our teachings are clear, our struggles become purposeful.
If you are a Yoga teacher, this mentorship is for you. If you are NOT a Yoga teacher, this mentorship is for you. I fully believe that investing in life-enhancing experiences are what make you a better teacher, rather than solely seeking out teaching related experiences only.
My teaching model is intended to support and uplift the student who has no or little exposure to this work, as well as the one who has done this work many times before. With our combined energies, we will both learn and open to deeper parts of Higher Self. I trust that you were guided here for a larger reason.
“We don’t need more spiritual workers. We need more humans to bring spirit to the work & humanity that they find themselves in.”

real STUDENT & mentee LOVE
“Chanel hosts unforgettable experiences that to this day my heart still hums from. Her home studio is warm, welcoming and every corner has an intention. She thinks of every detail of what she wanted my experience to be and offered our class nourishment for the soul and body. I can feel the healing love that radiates from the soil of her home, her land, and her family. I had such a transformational experience with Chanel. She curates and leads you through a journey inside yourself with such a gentleness. I have never experienced anything like her offerings and plan to sign up for as many as I can. She pours herself into the quality of spiritual space that she holds for others. It is unmatched.”
— Elena V.
“Chanel is calm and collected in her communication and facilitation as a mentor. She has the ability to detail out information and provide examples that allow for the information to be understood by a wide audience. In a recent session on yoga philosophy, Chanel explained the information and directed related it back to real life experiences which helped tremendously in digesting the information. Chanel is also very good at creating activities that allow you to process information and then relate it back to the topic of discussion. Chanel gives you tools and techniques to empower you to grow and learn!”
— Tammie A.
“I feel so lucky to have had a mentor like Chanel, who crafted a yoga philosophy curriculum just for me, built around my own questions and curiosities. She has a gift for taking these big, sometimes intimidating concepts and making them feel grounded, clear, and truly relatable. What could have felt overwhelming instead became inspiring and deeply personal. She taught with such clarity that I now feel confident enough to share and teach these concepts to others. Her guidance not only deepened my understanding of philosophy, but also gave me tools I can carry into both my teaching and my life.”
— Jana R.
“One of the things I love about Chanel is her ability to remain a teacher at all times. She’s gentle, kind, forthcoming, and pays attention. Her ability to hold space is immeasurable. By attending her offerings I’ve been able to transmute energy in my life, and strengthen my ability to pray and worship the highest version of self. Her teachings are an extension of who she is, nothing is plagiarized nor is she putting on a show, she’s genuine and raw. It’s truly a magical experience!”
— Zen A.W.
