Celia McCoy
C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, YACEP
Celia began practicing yoga in 2008, and quickly noticed that it felt different than anything she had ever done before — yoga created a sense of calm, comfort and clarity that was new to her. Celia continues to practice, and study, in the lineage of Viniyoga. She is guided by her primary teacher and mentor Chase Bossart, a long time student of TKV Desikachar.
Celia studies Vedic Chanting through the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai, India. In addition to providing individualized yoga therapy, Celia teaches group classes and trains future yoga teachers, and mentors future yoga therapists.
Outside of yoga, Celia is mother to two children, two dogs and a cat. She enjoys spending time outside, and is particularly drawn to the beautiful bodies of water we are blessed with in Minnesota. Celia is a cook, a knitter, and a singer in the professional symphonic choir the Minnesota Chorale.
