Rachel's story
Yoga found me in 2009 before I even realized that I needed it. I fell hard in love with my yoga practice and decided to pursue teaching yoga full-time in 2011. The rest is, as they say, history. Throughout my teaching career, I have been trained in Bikram Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Baptiste Power Yoga, Yin Yoga, Rocket Yoga, Hot Pilates, and Hot Power Pilates with weights and bands. What I have learned from studying a wide range of movement styles is that we are meant to move our bodies in a variety of ways, and the more you move, the better!
​
I believe that in order to be the best teacher possible, you have to be a dedicated student. I am first and foremost a student of movement. In my classes, I bring expertise gained by many years of studying yoga and pilates. In my classes, you can always expect to be guided by love, curiosity, and compassion.
