Rebecca Mansell

Chek Practitioner/Life Coach/Yoga Instructor

Rebecca has always thrived on watching others transform into their highest version of themselves.

As a teenager, she wrote for Amnity International, helping children in less developed countries stay grounded and positive through their journey. Her childhood was spent mostly as an athlete in long distance running and swimming along with her passion as a show jumper working with the horses that were most temperamental and challenging to ride. These activities gave her strength and confidence to conquer her dreams with little to no judgment. Her desire to heal animals, people and the planet grew stronger in her early 20s. Although she started her career in law to help with human rights and the protection of animals, Rebecca found that law was not the place for healing. While working in top law firms, she decided to venture off to San Diego to study Holistic Kinesiology and Life Coaching with CHEK Institute in 2008. CHEK is an Academy that brings in spiritual understanding of our human anatomy. This was a perfect fit for Rebecca who has practiced anthroposophy since her early 20s. After completing her first year with CHEK in 2009, Rebecca opened a wellness center hoping to eventually grow into a wellness retreat. Unfortunately, the partner of the wellness center chose a different direction and the wellness center was sold. As this was clearly not her journey, she decided to study and practice Yoga which led to working in resorts such as Tucker's Point Club and Azura.

Now having completed year 3 in the CHEK Academy–with two more years to go to become a CHEK Faculty Practitioner–Rebecca is moving forward as a partner of Sakiah Wellness. Her vision is to create a full wellness retreat offering Kinesiology, Yoga, Life Coaching, Lectures and much more.

Knowing that we are in the timeline of living longer as healthy, strong individuals, Rebecca is determined to be a pioneer in the wellness industry, giving to those who are ready to find balance and abundance in life.

As a little girl, I would wander about doing impromptu dance and gymnastics routines. I found solace and elation in the ebb and flow of movement.

In 2003, I entered a Bikram Yoga (hot hatha yoga) studio for the first time, completely unaware of what I was getting myself into. The postures were physically challenging, mentally engaging, and, wow, was I emotionally cleansed and renewed after that class!

That moment was magical; it instantly ignited my love for yoga.

From there, my own personal yoga practice started evolving to include vinyasa flow, hot yoga, power yoga, yin yoga, prenatal yoga, therapeutic yoga, among others. (And I am constantly striving to deepen it.)

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021, I decided to embark on a Movement Teacher Training Course. Why not? Yoga is all about finding the calm within the chaos. And, I wanted to share that yogic sensation—clarity, exhilaration, fulfillment, resilience—with others.

Jesse’s classes focus on breath work, core work, proper alignment and functional movement. She integrates these elements into a flow vinyasa, allowing you to gain stability, strength and flexibility. Jesse has a flair for teaching intuitively, enveloping her students with positive energy and creating a class that is simultaneously accessible, challenging, and deliciously unexpected.
