history
After graduating from Columbia University, Rachel began practicing yoga in New York in 2000. A move to Los Angeles brought Anusara® yoga into her life and from that point forward her passion for the practice grew rapidly. The healing benefits of the yoga practice were dramatic and shifted her body, mind and heart almost instantly. Rachel’s personal shift along with witnessing the positive effects the practice had on her cousin while she battled cancer, inspired her to become a yoga teacher. Her vast knowledge coupled with her authentic concern for her students, earned her a place among the elite yoga teachers of the world.
Rachel is an ERYT 500 Yoga Alliance certified and certified Anusara yoga teacher, mama to Eloise, devoted student of Classical Tantra in the Kashmiri Saiva tradition and a longtime ambassador for Lululemon. All of Rachel’s yoga classes are centered around a unique physical and a spiritual theme which is woven throughout every heart opening, alignment specific practice. Serene yet smart. Rachel subtly laces each practice with philosophy so you get a dose of zen minus the pseudoscience or hippy dippy nonsense. Since 2006, Rachel has taught at the best studios in Los Angeles including Equinox, Center for Yoga – Yogaworks, Roam, and Wanderlust Hollywood. She has led yoga teacher trainings in Los Angeles and leads retreats all over the world. Her mission with this site is that you feel better when you log ON so you can go live your best life.
philosophy
I believe if something makes you feel good, you will radiate that goodness to everyone around you.
I think a lot of the clutter of our cyber lives makes us feel bad about ourselves. All the media we consume is telling us all about what’s missing in our lives; stuff we need to buy, places we need to go, people we need to know, in order to be fulfilled. Lies! All lies. This is why we need yoga. With every breath this practice reminds you that YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED to be truly, profoundly happy. #truth
Slow your roll, remember – LIVING LIFE IS A PRIVILEGE and more times than not LIFE IS F*CKING GREAT!
I believe there is a kind of yoga for everyone.
I believe healthy living involves immeasurable amounts of laughter, kale, dark chocolate, pizza, simple adventures, dogs, stories, tequila, and espresso (not necessarily in that order).
This is the real world. Good and bad stuff happens. Life is a pulse. As much as we may not like it, both ends of the spectrum are necessary to sustain it.
Yoga is one tool, an excellent one, to aid in experiencing our time on the planet radiantly and fully.
Yoga is about remembering that your body is a gift and that happiness, joy, enlightenment (or whatever you decide to call it) are yours for the taking every moment of the day…on and off the mat.
