Chantal Fernandez Crea

Chantal Fernandez Crea is a professional tango dancer with training in various wellness and movement disciplines. In 2022, she discovered the Navakaraṇa method and fell in love with its holistic approach, the challenge of its practice, and its deep transformative power. Moved by the inner strength it awakens—physically, mentally, and spiritually—she trained as a Navakaraṇa instructor and opened the first and only studio dedicated to this practice integrally in Lyon, France.

There, she offers both Navakaraṇa and Tango classes, creating a unique space where body, mind, and emotion connect through movement. Navakaraṇa develops body awareness, inner power, breath, discipline, and a deep connection to oneself. Tango brings expression, sensitivity, rhythm, and connection to others. Two complementary practices that coexist in harmony, allowing each student to follow their own path—some come for Navakaraṇa, others for tango… and many for both.

She describes herself as passionate about learning, growing, and sharing movement—convinced that staying in motion is one of the keys to a happy life, self-love, and holistic well-being. She completed Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa Hṛdayam Master Teacher Training Module 4 with Dario Calvaruso in 2025, and is fully dedicated to spreading this method with care and intensity, offering a teaching style that is both demanding and human.

Her studio is a true refuge in the heart of Lyon: a warm, joyful, and vibrant space where community spirit, the joy of movement, and the art of self-care are at the core. She supports her
students on a path toward holistic well-being, helping them reconnect with their bodies, build confidence, and inhabit themselves with love.
