Growing up as a dancer and singer in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, Chelsea was always very in tune with her physical body. After having moved to New York City to attend Hunter College, injuries and and a tight schedule kept her from dancing for a time. However, when a friend introduced her to a vinyasa yoga practice, Chelsea was immediately enamored by the physical parallels between dance and a vinyasa flow, as well as the benefits of connecting the breath to movement, (which also had an amazingly positive effect on her singing), and bringing more of an awareness to her physical body and emotional self. Having completed her certification with New York Yoga in 2010, Chelsea is ecstatic to share the benefits of yoga with other dancers, singers and performers, as well as all students.

Teaching Schedule:

TBA

Class Description:

The hour-long all-levels Vinyasa class will focus on connecting the breath to each movement, opening up the body through the physical asana (poses) and using the breath throughout the flow to unify the the efforts of the yogi. While a basic knowledge of poses is encouraged, Chelsea will warmly welcome all yogis, and will cheerily instruct students through a practice focusing on correct alignment to develop strength, endurance, and flexibility, while using the breath to find openness, create tapas (heat) to purify the body, and finish with a juicy, restoring savasana.
