Lorna worked as an educational assistant for 20 years with individuals with special needs. Always looking for ways she could improve their sense of wellbeing through movement, music, and relaxation, she became serious about teaching yoga during Covid, taking an online teacher training course.  The "perfect pose" was not for her.  Finding her way on her yoga journey, she completed the Accessible Yoga training and many trainings with Kristen Webber at Subtle Yoga, including yin yoga, restorative yoga, and children's yoga.  Taking a Somatic Healing course has taken her further than she could have imagined on her yoga journey.  Using all her knowledge, she is passionate about teaching yoga to older adults. Helping them feel better in body, mind, and soul. 

As a child, Chelsea was always dancing around the house. Her first formal movement training was in rhythmic gymnastics. She graduated from Canterbury High School’s dance program and then traveled to pursue fashion modeling. While finding her way around NYC, Milan and Paris was an experience of growth, she so missed her true passion of dance. She returned to her hometown of Ottawa and started taking classes again, and eventually attended a full-time post-secondary contemporary dance program for two years. She also worked at her family’s health food store for 15 years, which fostered a keen interest in food and health. Through her own struggles with injuries and having scoliosis, Chelsea came to find the benefits of physiotherapy and strength training. She is certified in personal training (CanFitPro), Fletcher Pilates matwork, and Hatha Yoga (200h). She is also a runner. She is eager to learn the specifics of each client and adapt exercises to be right for them. She wants to give her clients improved movement and enjoyment in everyday life, as well as any specific sports/activities they do.
