CHELSEA LEE
CERTIFIED YOGA THERAPIST (MA, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500)
As a Certified Yoga Therapist, Chelsea strives to empower her students & clients with the education and skills necessary for creating a meaningful change in their own experience. She is the Yoga Therapy Program Director at the Vancouver School of Healing Arts, a faculty member in various Yoga Teacher Trainings and offers private Yoga Therapy at Chelsea Lee Yoga Therapy in Squamish.
As a holistic approach to healing, Yoga Therapy recognizes the interconnectedness of your emotions, thoughts and body; there is no separation between your body, mind and spirit. Therefore, what happens to the mind also happens to the body and spirit – if something is affecting you mentally, it is likely going to show up physically as well. For example, you may feel pain in your physical body from increased tension, which stretching and massage has only helped temporarily. The temporary relief these treatments provide may be because the pain you are experiencing in your body is not caused by issues in your physical body, but rather a result of emotional or mental holdings. Feelings such as anxiety, fear, anger or sadness can manifest as physical tension and the only way to alleviate the tension is to address the source.
When she’s not teaching or practicing yoga, you can find Chelsea exploring the beautiful mountains and forest of the Sea-to-Sky corridor!
