From one Yogi to another
While I have practised under many different yoga instructors over the years, I am drawn to
Rachel’s teaching style for many reasons and I have improved under her guidance. She accepts
each individual’s unique body and strives to adapt her classes to each individual’s level of ability
and awareness by providing modifications as required. She is very knowledgeable about yoga
form and is careful to ensure her students don’t injure themselves. At the same time, her
classes are difficult, and she will push you to use your athleticism, but then also varies her poses
and stretches to prevent injury. Her style and her personality are genuine, and she will
sometimes share a personal anecdote that shows her humility. There is a blend of physicality
and inner work in her classes. It is easy to listen to her voice guiding you through her well-
planned and novel sequences along with her accompanying music. I am so thankful that I
found Rachel to guide me in my yoga practise.
