Studio Lead Instructor

Chelsea has studied yoga, meditation, and holistic health since 1993, after reading “Siddhartha” by Herman Hesse, as well as the Upanishads and the Rig Veda, for a world literature class in high school. At age 23, she went to live in a Tibetan Buddhist temple as a work study volunteer for a summer. What started as a summer of learning to make clay statues of the Buddha for bronze casting, turned into two years dedicated to self-inquiry through Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, psychology, meditation, yoga, and something called tong len (similar to reiki).

Chelsea is a 500 hour Yoga Teacher certified to teach Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin and Restorative yoga modalities and considers each to be necessary “medicine” for wellbeing. She also has certifications in Pilates and Barre (from Barre & Soul in MA). Chelsea also offers energy work and Ayurvedic treatments here at Limber. She is a Master Reiki practitioner, Ayurveda Practitioner, and Master level Sound Healer. Chelsea is Yoga Alliance approved to teach CEU courses in yoga, movement, Ayurveda, reiki, and sound healing.

Pilates Instructor

Victoria has always valued movement as an essential part of her life and her passion for Pilates led her to become an instructor. It is her belief that as we get stronger with Pilates, we get stronger in life. She is currently working through a 500-hour comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training program, continuously expanding her knowledge and skills.

Movement has helped carry her through many phases of life, whether it was yoga, strength training, cardio, or Pilates. Pilates requires focus and intention to achieve results, much like life; It’s this principle of Pilates that has appealed to Victoria for so long. Her goal in this current stage in life is to bring this modality to as many people as possible.

Yoga Instructor

With over 20 years of experience as a fitness instructor and personal trainer, Nicole brings a deep passion for helping others find joy in movement. When she added yoga to her own wellness journey, she discovered its transformative power—not only in restoring balance to her body after years of high-impact workouts, but also in grounding her mentally and emotionally.

Nicole’s classes are playful, light-hearted, and thoughtfully sequenced. She encourages students to explore how postures feel in their bodies, rather than how they look, empowering them to build a lasting mind-body connection both on and off the mat. Her goal is to offer tools for greater presence, strength, and self-compassion—because life is serious enough, and yoga doesn’t have to be.

By day, Nicole markets Kankakee County to visitors—sharing her love for the community and all it has to offer. Whether she’s curating travel experiences or cueing breath in Warrior II, her mission is the same: to inspire connection, discovery, and joy.

Outside the studio, Nicole is happiest traveling (especially to sandy beaches with palm trees!), spending time outdoors, cooking, reading, and enjoying life with her family.

Yoga Instructor

Deisy first discovered her passion for yoga in 1997 after reading “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramahansa Yogananda, which inspired her to become a student of the Self Realization Fellowship. In 2003, she took a significant step in her journey by joining the Shaolin Monastery in Barranquilla, Colombia, where she spent a year learning the Art of Fa Meng Shua, as well as the principles of meditation and self-control.

From 2003 to 2009, Deisy deepened her practice at Riverside Health Fitness Center under the guidance of Loriann Mehmel, during which she earned her Yoga Siromani teaching experience at the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center at Vishnu Devananda’s Yoga Camp in Val Morin, Canada, in 2009.

In 2011, as co-owner of Bourbonnais CrossFit, she began teaching yoga classes to elite athletes, continuing in this role until 2020. Recently, Deisy earned her Barre Certificate and is excited to teach Adaptive Chair and Barre classes at Limber. Additionally, she enjoys teaching Zumba, where she shares her vibrant Colombian cultural background with her students.

Yoga Instructor

Jessica is a 200hr certified Hatha Yoga instructor and is currently working through her 300hr training. Practicing for 20 years, she first came to yoga in a gym setting in college and stayed as she realized the benefits for both physical and mental stress. This practice has carried her through back trouble, pregnancy and motherhood, and into a journey of self-discovery. She believes that yoga should be accessible for everyone, no matter your age, body size, or abilities. One way she helps reach those who need non-traditional yoga is by teaching Chair Yoga, where students do not need to get down to the floor to experience all that yoga has to offer. Ever the student and with a heart of service, she continues to study how to reach those needing a more personalized practice. She is currently working through training to continue exploration of teaching yoga to people in non-traditional yoga bodies, and training around the true neurological benefits around a slow, mindful yoga practice. Her goal through her breath-centered classes is that the student feels more grounded and tuned in to self by the end of their practice. Jessica is currently teaching Chair Yoga and is also available for private one-on-one or small group classes. 

Outside of yoga, Jessica loves to spend time with her husband and four sons. She enjoys being outside among the flowers, playing sports with her family, working on home projects, and reading. She also works as a local licensed Real Estate Broker.
