Chelsey Forbes
Teacher
Chelsey Forbes is a lover + Katonah Yoga certified teacher and practitioner. Her classes are a playfully cosmic charcuterie board of sound, breath, and movement recipes that reference ancient Yogic texts and soma. First introduced to mindfulness and Yoga philosophy during childhood illness & trauma, she began a search for ways that kept the inner child safe, in awe, alive, and liberated from the confines of the human mind. After studying Media Culture, Art History + Journalism at university she went on to Hospitality and Non-Profit work, bringing a multilayered approach to teaching, and creating a deeply connective, collaborative, and authentically cinematic experience. She has studied with many influential teachers from different lineages since 2017 and is committed to inclusivity and accessibility as mutually dependent pathways - in the classroom and beyond. Chelsey is a court jester and jack-of-all trades. She leads various trainings, retreats + 1:1 therapeutic practice online and around the world. I read the room. My classes are spirited and versatile, ranging from structured + functional to cathartic + challenging. I am inspired by nature, history, and the bodyโs natural intelligence + ability to heal itselfโฆ curated sound and vibration will be utilized to tell a story that shifts us out of the critically thinking headspace. We focus on self-study and nervous system regulation by blending fluid and dynamic sequencing, alignment, meditation, mantra, nourishing restorative poses, and breath. My goal as a teacher is to honor yoga as personal, political, magical, and medicinal.
