Teachers

Rachel's yoga journey began in 2000 with a simple gym class that sparked a lifelong passion. After those first classes ended, her practice paused for a time—until she discovered a studio in 2010 that felt like home, reigniting her curiosity and commitment to self-discovery.

In 2012, Rachel moved to Costa Rica, where she was introduced to Ashtanga yoga. The discipline, focus, and grace of this practice quickly became a cornerstone of her life and continue to guide her both on and off the mat.

Teaching since 2011, Rachel is a certified yoga instructor with over 14 years of experience. She enjoys sharing a wide range of yoga styles, blending mindful awareness with intentional movement. Her teaching encourages students to listen inwardly, honor their own rhythms, and explore yoga as a path of growth, balance, and compassion.

When she's not on the mat, you'll find Rachel spending time with her family, trying new recipes, creating art, reading, exercising, or playing with her spirited dog, Ollie.
