RYT 500, MBody Yoga Teacher Certification Program

It was through her private music instructor that Chelsea came to find and love yoga. Her first yoga class that she took was called yoga for musicians. She was hooked and began to notice several benefits to having a regular yoga practice. She noticed a sense of well being and calmness in herself. Her back pain she experienced from years of playing an instrument was gone and one of the biggest results she saw was a decrease in her level of performance anxiety. Soon after, Chelsea began to look for yoga studios to practice at and found MBody Yoga. From the moment she walked in the door, she felt like she had found her yoga home. It was the community, something she had never experienced before anywhere else, that kept her coming back for more. Two months later Chelsea signed up for Mark White’s teacher training program at MBody Yoga. Through her practice and Mark’s training, Chelsea discovered her passion to teach. She knew she had to reach as many people as possible through yoga. Not only did she discover her passion for it, but she gained self-confidence and learned what it means to be a leader in her community. Chelsea has been teaching for over two years at MBody and with her mission to bring yoga to everyone, is involved with the Jacksonville community as much as possible. She has taught yoga at drug rehabilitation centers and senior chair yoga at a local community center. Currently, she teaches a Multiple Sclerosis yoga class through oMS Yoga at MBody. She also teaches at the PACE Center for Girls through an amazing organization called Yoga 4 Change. Chelsea holds her 200-hour certification with MBody Yoga, a Yin Yoga certification and has completed Baron Baptiste’s Level One training in Catskills, New York. Her next goal is to become Baptiste certified. Whenever Chelsea is not on her mat or teaching, she enjoys being outdoors and is a big animal lover with one dog, three cats and a turtle at home!
