“Chelsea is the BEST! I’ve practiced yoga for years and knew it would be helpful to continue throughout pregnancy.

Because of my virtual sessions with Chelsea, I gained a deeper understanding of my body, how to create space for baby, protect my core and relieve discomfort. I’m convinced that my journey with Chelsea empowered me to trust my body and safely delivery out baby at home with a team of professionals.

She taught me how to become in tuned with my pelvic floor and carried me through postpartum when I had diastasis recti. Her knowledge and gentleness created a space for me to be vulnerable, feel understood and supported while taking care of me. Forever grateful for the work that she does. Next baby we’ll be at it again!”

“I enjoyed my prenatal zoom classes with Chelsea. I can’t recommend her enough. She is very calm, composed, and talented. She will make you feel comfortable throughout the session. I look forward to booking mommy and baby yoga classes with her soon.”

“I have taken private prenatal & postnatal classes (via zoom) with Chelsea through two pregnancies now, and couldn’t recommend her enough. After sessions with her, I have felt better than I knew was possible during pregnancy!

Chelsea makes an effort to teach you about your body and helps you learn what works for you. She tailors the classes to your specific needs, and continually evolves with your stages of pregnancy and postpartum. In addition to exercise, stretching, and strengthening, Chelsea coaches you on using your breath which was especially helpful in active labor (I had her voice in my head doing four-parts breath during contractions).

I highly recommend prenatal yoga to all pregnant people, especially with Chelsea at Chickadee Yoga + Birth!”

“Chelsea’s very knowledgeable, mindful and kind. I just took a private, virtual prenatal class with her and LOVED it. It seemed to fly by. I was apprehensive about private yoga via zoom because I thought it might be awkward but once I got set up it worked out well. She also seems to have a lot of experience dealing with the limitations of teaching via zoom because it felt seamless and just as valuable as a private, in-person session.

Everything we did seemed to magically target tight or neglected areas of my pregnant body, like the rib cage or back of the shoulders. She also tailored the class to me and my needs (I have an injured toe), so she avoided lunges and such. I typically try to do my own exercises every day, but Chickadee Yoga is a great supplement to what I already do because there’s this mindful, patient element that’s missing when I’m by myself. For example, she does a great job of reminding you to breathe through every pose without it feeling forced. Also, as I said, she focused on areas that I didn’t even realize I was neglecting.

Overall 10/10 highly recommend!”

“Chelsea has helped me so much through the prenatal, postnatal, and daycare closure periods! I swear I heard her voice in my head helping me breathe through labor. She offers private virtual classes.”

“My daughter Aanya loves Chelsea’s Yoga session. Chelsea is very creative. She has done a wonderful job at incorporating different adventures—as an Oceanographer, Paleontologist, Astrophysicist to name a few—into a fun and active yoga session. Aanya is always looking forward to Chelsea’s class and has only nice things to say about her.”

“My 4 year old son started with Chelsea’s yoga class a few months ago and looks forward to his yoga lessons every Monday and Friday. I was not sure if he would be engaged through an online class as we did not do well with remote learning but he loves the class and will actively participate the entire session without me or my husband sitting with him. The class has been wonderful for my son’s focus, flexibility, balance and self confidence. It is also a great space for him to interact with other kids around his age. Chelsea is an amazing instructor and the type of positive influence you want surrounding your children. She is caring, thoughtful, patient, creative and really knows how to engage with children through her yoga adventures and Montessori background. I would recommend this class to anyone with young kids in a heartbeat!”

“I am thrilled that Chelsea is providing zoom yoga for kids ages 3-6 -she is such a gifted teacher! My four-year-old joyfully moves and learns from the weekly themes. I am so grateful that we have access to yoga with learning that is safe, tailored to my child and most of all fun.”

“Chelsea seemed to customize the session based on my goals/priorities that we discussed prior to beginning. During the intake, she asked insightful and important questions about my pregnancy, how I’ve felt, and what I want to work on. She was calm, instructive, and encouraging throughout the hour. I was impressed and pleasantly surprised by the wealth and expansiveness of her prenatal knowledge. She explained things to me in a gentle, non-condescending way. There was a perfect balance of her doing the exercises with me as a demonstration and her standing up and observing/constructing my form. I felt very comfortable and supported, and I learned a lot!”

“Chelsea’s class was the best yoga class I’ve ever taken - and I’ve been doing yoga in New York City for about 10 years! She had us holding the poses for just the right amount of time and gauged the level of comfort and skill of everyone in the room. She’s a quality instructor and I would highly recommend anyone to take her classes.” ”

“Chelsea is so lovely. There is a tangible warmth and energy that emanates from her skillful hands. I did not know that I could find such comfort in a Reiki session until I tried with Chelsea.”

“I’ve hired Chelsea on several occasions and can say that whether it be 1 on 1 or a group session, I thoroughly enjoy the way she challenges my body and teaches me positivity to enhance my mind as well! Chelsea’s calming voice and non cookie cutter yoga lessons provide me with the ooh and ahh sensation I need to wind down after a stressful day working in sales. Highly recommend!”
