So y’all I’mma be honest. I was straight fangirling about recording this interview. Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts is an internationally-celebrated Peloton yoga teacher and scholar. I’ve done dozens and dozens of Chelsea’s yoga and meditation classes so it was really special for me to be able to chat with her. She’s currently 30 weeks pregnant and has some really special insight about how yoga and meditation have helped her along the way.

The number one thing I’d like for you to take away from this episode is that yoga and meditation are for EVERYONE. Yes, that means you. You don’t have to come to the mat looking a certain way or be super flexible. Just start. Make the practice your own and find what feels good for you. 

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-What inspired Chelsea to shift from being an elementary school teacher to getting a PhD and becoming a yoga and meditation instructor

-How yoga helped her manage stress as a school teacher

-What inspired her to introduce mindfulness to the classroom and what the outcomes were

-How yoga can have a positive impact on kids

-What kind of training Chelsea went through to become an instructor

-What the benefits of yoga are during pregnancy specifically

-How yoga has helped Chelsea with her own changing body during pregnancy

-What the benefits are of simply breathing and being present

-How and why Chelsea incorporates all different genres of music into her classes
