Meet Chelsea
Chelsea Brown is a Chicago native and an experienced student and teacher of yoga who never stops
learning. Since completing her initial teacher training with Prairie Yoga in 2010,
Chelsea has continued to explore yoga under the guidance of her beloved
teachers including her first and most formative teach Tricia Fiske, the incomparable Gabriel Halpern, Linda Troutman, and the
whole wonderful team at Prairie, where she went on to complete 500 hour
training in 2021.
She is immersed in and has studied energetics, meditation and yoga nidra
extensively through Tricia Fiske and Rod Stryker of the Parayoga tradition. She
has taken on additional study of restorative yoga with Judith Lasiter, as well as
Somayoga and the SATYA practices as taught by Tias Little. Chelsea’s teaching
style blends the deep innerwork of tantra with a strong alignment based asana
practice rooted in the Iyengar yoga tradition and informed by therapeutics.
Chelsea is a registered Children’s Yoga teacher whose experience with children
spans well over a decade. She continues to share yoga with students of all ages,
including yogis as young as 18 months old and is firm in her belief that the
principles of yoga offer a beautiful system for living an integrated life for all
people. She believes in yoga as a way of life and finds incredible joy in sharing it
with her students. Her company, Good Seeds Yoga, provides children’s yoga
programming to schools and community groups throughout the Chicago area,
and offers training programs and workshops to adults who seek to share the
practice of yoga with children.
Chelsea has been a lead trainer with Bloom Yoga Studio’s 200 hour teacher training program since 2022 and is the co-creator and lead trainer of Bloom’s new 300 hour teacher training program, beginning in January, 2025.
Chelsea is firm in her belief that yoga can benefit everyone, and the key to
teaching effectively is to meet students where they are and then give them a
reason to want to go further.
