Hey hey, it's Chelsey Rae...

I believe that yoga helped save my life.

​

I started a daily yoga practice at Modo Yoga in Portland, Oregon on March 28th, 2016. With my background as a dancer, I quickly found yoga to be more interesting and fun than a traditional gym workout. As time passed and my dedication to my practice deepened, it became clear that I wasn't only there physical benefits. Through movement, breathwork, meditation, self-reflection, sweat, and a shit-load of tears, I started to see the world and myself in a more positive light. After a year of consistent classes, I realized I wanted to be a conduit for this life-changing practice, and I started my teacher training.

 

I am a certified yoga instructor with over 700 hours of training. I have taught yoga to people from all walks of life, from juvenile delinquents to preschoolers, hikers on the Quilotoa loop to housemakers, first responders, professional athletes and even stoners! If you're a human, I'll guide you. My passion for providing guidance and support to those seeking to live healthy, happy lives is what inspired me to become a yoga instructor. I am currently a part-time senior instructor at Modo Yoga Portland, and I have taught a variety of group classes at businesses throughout the greater Portland metro area.

​

Sharing the practice of yoga is my calling in life. I have seen how a regular practice can amplify the body, mind, and spirit, not only in myself but in many others. It's an absolute honor to be a guide of yoga, and I cannot wait to practice with you!
