Scott Chisman

Hi! My name is Scott Edward Chisman. I suppose if you did a Google search because you know me, wondering what I am up to these days, this is the easiest way to find out.

I currently live in Los Angeles, after living in Las Vegas for six years. I left Las Vegas after my mother passed on in 2012, and made way to San Diego. I was on sabbatical from my profession as a computer specialist for a number of years, and in 2013 I returned to my field as I accepted a position in L.A.

I would have to say that I had an interesting time over the past decade. I lost most of my family and my life changed. I spent the time re-examining myself, my life, and my aspirations. I spent several years researching and writing.

I eventually came to Ashtanga Yoga, and began my study of the Hindu and Buddhist cultures. I fell so in love with yoga that I eventually went to San Francisco to become certified as an instructor. I was certified by Larry Schultz, the founder of It's Yoga. Larry was the yoga instructor of the Grateful Dead, and one of the most interesting people I have ever known.

I have been practicing and teaching yoga for the past five years. I write using the pen name of Sonyata, which is the name on my yoga diploma as well. Sonyata is a name I have had since my 21st birthday, and means "Son of Enlightenment". I try to live up to this name.

If you are a friend from my past, please stop by and say "hello". I am on Facebook, you can find me if you try.

Otherwise, if you hate me and wondering if I'm stalking you -don't worry. I'm not :)

Peace,

Scott
