A teacher trainer and author with more than 4500 hours under her belt, Rachel is committed to helping her students uncover and express their voice, passion and potential. After directing the Teachers College for a national yoga company for more than seven years (YYoga), Rachel left her corporate position to pursue a new mission: helping yoga teachers and studios around the world thrive in their business by elevating the quality and potency of their education offerings.

She leverages her extensive academic training (MSci Instructional Systems and Learning Technologies, BA Columbia University) with more than two decades of yoga practice and business experience to help yoga studios and teachers reach their potential. She is a business thought partner and ally and brings more than fifteen years of experience as a teacher, teacher manager, studio director, program developer, and departmental director to the table. In addition to offering 1-1 coaching and mentoring, she offers several products to help trainers get their programs off the ground.

As a trainer, she is feisty, fun, inspirational, supportive, and generous with her knowledge. With keen insight into yoga training, she has a knack for helping yogis build the pragmatic skills that they need to share their own teaching voice with confidence. 

She has contributed to Yoga International, the Huffington Post, YogaU Online, Half Moon, and taught at the Omega Institute, Wanderlust, the Victoria Yoga Conference, and more. Books: Wit and Wisdom From the Yoga Mat (2017), Head Over Heels: A Yogi's Guide to Dating (2018), Speedy Yoga (2019), Small Book of Yoga Practices (2020) and Yoga For Aging Gracefully (2020).
