OUR FOUNDER
HANNA GEDY
Hanna Gedy is the founder and creative force behind Chase Your Wind, a company and brand that empowers fighters, other athletes, and performers to access their full potential through specialized yoga, breathwork, and light-touch recovery, among other modalities.
Gedy has trained at top facilities in the United States and abroad. She has traveled the world assisting top-level athletes in maximizing their full potential. Gedy is on a mission to elevate her clients to the highest levels of physical success and wellness.
​
While Gedy has always been athletic, her formal studies in physical performance began in 2009 and have taken her all over the world. She has since thrown herself into training, study, and practice to help high-achieving fighters, other athletes, and performers reach their ultimate potential. In 2018 she traveled to Peru for an ayahuasca retreat where she discovered a passion for MMA combat. In 2020, Gedy trained at fighting camps in Thailand where renowned fighters refine their technique, pushing their bodies to maximum effectiveness.
Her credentials include training with Thierry Fradin, a French kickboxing instructor based in Cambodia, several top UFC fighters at "Tiger Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts" in Phuket, Thailand, and veteran fighter Kevin Kasey. She now brings those lessons back to the United States to help clients go beyond physical and mental barriers to achieve excellence.
In addition to fighters and other athletes, Gedy specializes in assisting professionals in the performing arts to help them open their bodies for performance and expression. Gedy herself is a SAG-AFTRA member and knows the importance of physical openness. She's worked on sets alongside major “A list” actors like Will Smith and Robert DeNiro.
​
Gedy is a certified Assistant Teacher of Fitzmaurice Voicework® through The Fitzmaurice Institute which focuses on breathwork. She also studied privately with Saul Kotzubei, Voice and Public Speaking Coach in Los Angeles. In addition, Gedy completed a 50-hour Yoga for Athletes Training Course through the InDepth Yoga Academy in Rawai, Thailand.
If you are ready to move your practice and physical performance to the next level, Gedy is here for you. She has spent her life and career studying the best practices to achieve peak physical output and the best methods to go beyond mental barriers and move into new levels of excellence. Chase your Wind is the embodiment of this mission and Gedy's ideals. She loves to empower people who want more from themselves and life.
