Meet Rachel!
Rachel completed her 200 hr. YTT in April of 2021 and is registered with the yoga alliance, since certification, she has taught a weekly Vinyāsa class at Shakti & Free Studio. Through finding great clarity in her asana and breathwork she designed an asana-based class that challenges students to use their natural strengths. Having been diagnosed with ADHD, she feels being herself brings a different kind of element to her classes. You may often find her interacting with humor and light energy to motivate classes through tough asana work. A favorite aspect of teaching is curating her music playlists to match the energy of her flows, finding great joy in sharing music that she loves. Off the mat, you can find her managing a small business and being a full-time mom. Together with her daughter, she loves dancing, singing, and doing fun art projects. Rachel is appreciative of the fact that her yoga practice helps her be a better mom and human. She hopes to learn new things and continue growing and to be bringing even more to her class in the future.
