Chelsea received her 200-hour yoga teacher training from Zen Yoga Garage in Chicago. Originally from Virginia, she grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where she was involved in competitive dance and cheer. After college, she fell in love with the practice of yoga after realizing she had fallen victim to the daily pressures of her corporate career and started to experience the all-too-common symptoms of anxiety. At a local studio, she discovered that Vinyasa yoga was full of creative movement (like dance) while simultaneously exercising the mind using breath & meditation. This is what she began to crave. Already interested in the body and how intelligently it works, she became a Vinyasa yoga & meditation teacher. Chelsea teaches her classes with a creative flow adding easy-to-follow alignment cues, grounding and meditation properties, and a fresh playlist that she enjoys creating while connecting fun beats to movement. She provides a sense of comfort while on your mat sharing time and space together. Why Vinyasa yoga? It allows for full body mobility and can be as challenging as you make it while stringing together a flow quality to movement. Chelsea believes yoga is for all spirits and body types and provides a warm welcome to all!
