Rachel found yoga in her early teens. It challenged her body, then calmed and clarified her mind. Over the next 20 years (through a Business Degree, a stint in corporate marketing, and international travels) yoga became a touchstone that she returned to repeatedly until it sparked the idea of something more. 


In 2011 Rachel finally became a Yoga Alliance registered teacher with Lance Schuler and INSPYA Yoga. Since then she has taught thousands of hours of group classes and private yoga sessions, become an E-RYT500 yoga teacher, completed a 1000-hour yoga teacher training with Yoga Medicine, and amassed hundreds of hours of training in Anatomy & Physiology, Nutrition, Sports Training & Development, Mentoring and Yin Yoga. And after years of personal mentoring by Tiffany Cruikshank, Rachel is now a proud member of the Yoga Medicine teaching team.

Some of her students are strong vinyasa yogis aiming to deepen their personal practice. Others come for the slower, more subtle exploration of Yin yoga or Myofascial release. Her private yoga students want to learn how yoga can help them feel stronger, more stable, and more serene. Whether they attend group classes, workshops, retreats, private sessions, or teacher training, the common denominator is lively curiosity; they come to learn – about anatomy and alignment, and about themselves. 


As a teacher, and as a contributor to online platforms Yoga International and Yoga Journal, Rachel aims to both spark and satisfy that curiosity. She takes her role seriously, but takes herself lightly. Her philosophy is expressed beautifully by Thomas Merton: ”Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony."
