After being a student of yoga for over 10 years, Kristi completed her Yoga Alliance teacher training in 2016 with Laura Martini and Shawna Nyrose in Kelowna, BC. After teaching for a year in a few studios in Kelowna, she moved to Nakusp, opened this small studio, and has since been leading a wide range of classes to students of all ability levels.

Kristi has attended yoga festivals, retreats, courses and workshops of varied focuses and takes great pride in curating interesting and well-balanced class sequences. When not on the mat she runs a home-based nail business and otherwise enjoys all things outdoors — camping, hiking, fishing, gardening, walking her dogs, and riding her motorbike.

Chelsea's yoga journey began as a young student growing up in the Canadian Rockies, where she came to practice as a means to better understand her body, breath, and emotions. The deep personal benefits to her mental health and well-being that yoga brought were undeniable — inspiring her to share the gift of yoga with others. In 2017 she got certified through the Vancouver School of Yoga with Lila Rasa Brown and Natalie Rousseau.

From there she went backpacking in India where she was fortunate to learn and practice with multiple local teachers, gaining a deeper connection to yoga and its roots. Chelsea teaches with a strong focus on accessibility and believes yoga can and should be available to everyone.
