Today’s guest, Chelsea Roff, one of our dynamic guest teachers in The Yoga of Eating, is an incredible inspiration and resource. Chelsea Roff is yoga and mindfulness instructor, research collaborator, and thought leader in neuroscience and integrative health.

I am so deeply touched and inspired by Chelsea’s truly harrowing journey, that took her from trauma, anorexia and an ensuing life-threatening stroke at age 15, into treatment and the slow process of healing, to becoming a psychoneuroimmunology researcher, yoga teacher, and now creating a non-profit called Eat, Breathe, Thrive that uses a scientifically-informed model to complement the psychological healing from eating disorders with the interoceptive body awareness and mindfulness of yoga practice. Chelsea and I have been good friends for several years, and this opportunity to talk with her in greater depth about her work only made me admire and appreciate her more.
