During a holiday in 2016, Kristi was struck with the inspiration to become a yoga instructor… So she did. Upon completing her 200 hour YTT she began teaching at different studios in her hometown of Kelowna and quickly developed a strong passion and unique style. In December of 2017 she moved to the Village of Nakusp where she opened her own small studio and has since been offering a wide range of classes to students of all ability levels. In 2022 Kristi developed the knowledge and skill to lead group fitness classes as well, which have become a well received addition to the schedule.

Kristi takes great pride in rolling with the punches, collaborating with other instructors, continuing to learn, trusting that everything happens for a reason and above all — doing her best to make sure everyone feels welcome in every class… It truly is a community-driven studio.

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.
