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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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. </span></p> <h3><strong>In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-What inspired Chelsea to shift from being an elementary school teacher to getting a PhD and becoming a yoga and meditation instructor</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-How yoga helped her manage stress as a school teacher</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-What inspired her to introduce mindfulness to the classroom and what the outcomes were</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-How yoga can have a positive impact on kids</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-What kind of training Chelsea went through to become an instructor</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-What the benefits of yoga are during pregnancy specifically</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-How yoga has helped Chelsea with her own changing body during pregnancy</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-What t
