Classes concentrate on synchronizing breath with movement in Hatha tradition, are aided by Vinyasa flow, and build internal and external strength. Chelsea firmly believes that yoga should be accessible to all levels, so classes will provide both stepping stones for beginners and a challenge for advanced practitioners. For Chelsea, yoga is a tool for self-empowerment that can also serve as a positive coping strategy to generate self-love through not only times of movement and expression, but also stillness and introspection.
