Rachel lives by the motto “Create your own reality.” She is a dog mom, a lover of nature, books and painting. Her passion is in helping everyone she encounters — both on and off the mat — manifest their dreams and understand themselves better. The transition from high school to college is where she fell in love with the practice of yoga. It was not until two years after graduating with her marketing degree, that she found herself searching for a deeper meaning, leading to her yoga teaching certification. Yoga has become much more than physical for Rachel, taking on a more spiritual role with meditation and mindfulness practices. She is truly happiest when she is inspiring others, creating and expressing her authenticity. Rachel believes that everyone has a fire burning inside of them and they should always listen and follow their passions and purpose.
