My name is Rachael and I have been practicing yoga for 23 years. I discovered yoga in college after a friend dragged me to the gym one day for a yoga class. I had no idea what I was doing but was instantly hooked. I loved how yoga quieted my mind, which to this day is almost always on the go go go, like the energizer bunny! Over the years I have turned to yoga during times of heartbreak, stress, and when I was just overwhelmed or overworked. It has always been my calm after the storm. 

Most of my practice has been at my home in the basement. As a broke college student I couldn’t always afford the $18 studio fee so being frugal found myself checking out books at the library and creating a self practice over time. I’ve turned to yoga many times over the last 23 years. In between training for a race, or when coming off of an injury, or when things just got tough and I was stressed out or overwhelmed with life.  Yoga always, and continues, to bring that same sense of calm it did that first day I took a class. Even after 23 years of practice, I’m still not very flexible, I can’t do any “sexy” poses like you see on Instagram, but everyday on the mat is a new journey! A journey closer to having more inner peace and tranquillity.

My goal is to bring yoga to adults who are overworked, overwhelmed and/or stressed, so they can shut off the internal negative self talk and be more mindful and relaxed. There are so many health and wellness benefits to having a yoga practice and cost shouldn’t be what prevents people from practicing. Especially with stressful and overwhelming times like these; times when we all could use some zen. 

If you find yourself stressed, overworked or overwhelmed, I would love to help you find that inner zen that I find each day that I come to my mat. Whether it’s through yoga, or a meditation practice, there is a way to tap into that zen, and bring peace and tranquillity to your life and mind.
