Chelsea Stahl Spruance

Chelsea is a 30-year-old adult who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 4 months old. She has been involved with the CF Foundation for many years, even being a past BreatheCon and FamilyCon Co-Chair. When her health began to decline in college, Chelsea found yoga and now has transformed that passion into a career. In 2022, Chelsea and her husband opened a yoga studio and freediving school. In addition, she teaches yoga at CF Yogi, an online yoga studio for the CF community. She lives on St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean with her husband, two dogs, cat, and soon-to-be first child! In her free time, you can find her working on a DIY house project, taking a yoga class, sailing, traveling, or showing those around her that cystic fibrosis does not define what she is capable of. You can follow her journey and adventures living with CF on her Instagram or Facebook.
