Hi friends,

Asking for help is something that doesn’t come easily to me, but I’m learning to lean into vulnerability and community. A couple of months ago, I was in a car accident that forced me to get a new car, and the financial strain from that has been overwhelming.

At the same time, an opportunity I’ve been dreaming about for years has finally opened up: yoga teacher training. I was recently offered a partial scholarship, which I’m incredibly grateful for, but it still isn’t enough to cover the full cost.

Yoga has given me so much over the years. Living with an anxious brain often makes everyday life feel heavier than it should. Through yoga, I’ve found healing, mindfulness, and a way to listen to my body more deeply. It has changed how I cope with stress, and it’s given me tools I never thought I’d have.

My goal is to pass that healing forward—to help others who struggle with anxiety and mental health challenges realize that these struggles don’t have to be a life sentence. This training is the next step in being able to hold space for people in the way yoga has held space for me.

I know it’s a tough time for many, and I don’t take any support lightly. The money will be going to straight to paying for the program. Whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this with others, your help means the world to me. Thank you for believing in me and in this dream.

With gratitude,

Chelsea
