Eat Breathe Thrive Module One Training led by Chelsea Roff
Friday – Sunday, September 13-15, 2019 at Sangha Studio – North (237 North Winooski Ave, Burlington, VT)
Transform your life & career with a mind-body approach to mindful eating, emotional resilience, & body confidence.
We’re taught that in order to thrive, we simply need to eat healthy, exercise regularly, and manage our emotions. But it’s harder than it sounds! Dietary approaches that worked when we were younger may stop working as we age. Injuries can interfere with our ability to stay active. Coping skills that once helped us survive may sabotage our relationships later in life.
Eat Breathe Thrive is an innovative, yoga-based program that prevents and helps individuals fully overcome mental health challenges. This training includes yoga practice, meditation, group discussion, and interactive activities.

About Chelsea Roff
Chelsea Roff is the Founder and Director of Eat Breathe Thrive. An author, researcher, and educator, she has spent nearly a decade pioneering integrative health programs for people with mental health challenges.
Roff began her career as a research assistant and grant writer in a psychoneuroimmunology laboratory. Her early research focused on how stress affects the immune system and how mind-body practices like yoga can help people with chronic diseases like cancer and HIV/AIDS. Roff went on to apply what she learned in the lab to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems. After completing a yoga teacher training in 2009, she developed a yoga-based intervention for women with breast cancer. She went on to develop a similar program for youth who had experienced sexual assault at a juvenile detention center, and adults facing homelessness at a residential shelter.
Over and over again, Roff found herself drawn back to one population: men and women experiencing eating disorders. Roff herself had struggled with anorexia in her youth, and recovered thanks to the support of community, practice of yoga and opportunity to serve others. In 2011, Roff offered the first Yoga for Eating Disorders program to clients at a treatment center where she had once been treated for anorexia. This program later became the heart of Eat Breathe Thrive: a six-week intervention that combines yoga, meditation, and psychoeducation to help people fully overcome food and body image issues.
Roff has appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, NBC Nightly News, and CNN. An award-winning author, she has contributed a number of book chapters, articles, and research reviews to publications such as Yoga Journal, Good Magazine, and American Public Media. She currently lives in Venice, California, where she can be found riding her bike at the beach, hiking in the mountains, and salsa dancing under the stars.
