Hello, I'm Sheehan Chase, and welcome to VITAL 8.
As a seasoned yoga teacher and self-help author, I'm dedicated to empowering others through movement, music, and mindful practices. With a background spanning from communications to health coaching, my passion lies in helping others unlock their fullest potential.
At 19, I embarked on a transformative journey, constantly striving to grow and evolve in every aspect of life. VITAL 8 was born from this passion, a platform aimed at guiding others to master their physical health, emotional resilience, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness.
My mission at VITAL 8 is to lead by example, living a life of more love and gratitude, and inspiring others to do the same. I believe in the power of self-development to not only enrich our own lives but also to uplift and transform the community around us.
I've been fortunate to learn and achieve a great deal early in my life, which has transformed me profoundly. I'm now dedicated to giving back and serving others.
Whether it's assisting you in your wellness journey, achieving financial freedom, motivating you to chase your dreams, enhancing your productivity, improving your health and fitness, or encouraging you to continually strive for self-improvement, my mission is to awaken the boundless potential within you and help you realize your full potential through personal development.
VITAL 8 is crafted to be a beacon of self-improvement, inspiration, and transformation for those who aspire to live an extraordinary life.
On this website, I'll share openly and passionately all the top concepts, strategies, tools, and resources that have significantly improved my life—and will undoubtedly enhance yours too.
To live a truly extraordinary life, I believe it's essential to continuously focus on and master 8 core areas, as outlined in my VITAL 8 Methodology. Each area demands ongoing attention, dedication, and growth.
Neglecting any core area for too long can negatively impact the other aspects of your life and diminish your overall fulfillment. However, successfully balancing and progressing in these 8 core areas can lead to the sense of aliveness and fulfillment we all seek.
I have developed an outline of the VITAL 8 Methodology to highlight these 8 core areas: Awaken, Water, Breath, Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, Environment, Self-Care, and Transcendence.
I encourage you to explore the outline below. Simply click on the life area you wish to focus on and start your journey towards mastering it.

My Story
As a child, I lacked confidence, was deeply unhappy, and struggled with negativity, anxiety, laziness, and a victim mindset.
Then one day, everything shifted. I reached my "bottom" and made a pivotal decision that would forever alter the course of my life.
I vowed never to settle for less — I vowed to become the man I was born to be.
At that moment, I recognized my untapped potential and committed to activating it. At the age of 19, I embarked on a transformative journey of introspection and self-development, leading me to the fulfilling life I am grateful for today.
Initially, I concentrated on enhancing my personality and self-confidence. During high school, I was socially inept, riddled with insecurities, and lacked the basic skills to interact, converse, or form relationships with others.
Transforming my social skills meant facing my deepest fears of meeting and interacting with new people. I spent years immersing myself in various social settings, actively developing my social capabilities and building self-confidence.
In my mid-20s I discovered the importance of holistic self-care. I started surfing, running, and began a yoga practice. This shift not only honed my skills but also paved the way for my next big leap—starting an online business. This move was driven by my desire to scale my efforts and achieve financial freedom.
Throughout my career, I’ve successfully engaged in various online business models, including publishing, affiliate marketing, creating and selling digital products online, coaching, and consulting. Now, my mission is to share what I’ve learned thus far, providing you with a recipe for a life of autonomy, fulfillment, and vitality.

I have a deep love for reading, having devoured hundreds of books over the years on topics aimed at enhancing the quality of my life. These range from self-development, business and marketing, to finances, psychology, health, fitness, relationships, emotions, spirituality, and more. My commitment to mastering the 8 core areas of my VITAL 8 Methodology has also led me to attend dozens of events, seminars, and workshops. I firmly believe that the best investment one can make is in oneself.
My passion for health and fitness is equally strong. I have undergone a remarkable physical transformation, evolving from being scrawny and malnourished to developing exceptional strength and flexibility—a testament to the power of focus and discipline.
I believe that ANYONE can change and create the life they desire, but true transformation requires a full commitment to self-care.
