Rachel Ackley

Rachel Ackley I strive to connect and give others the tools they need to start the process of healing, and working towards living a life that feels free.

I approach the purification and healing process through breathwork, yoga, running, Reiki, and healthy eating.

Sun Salutation A ☀️

Inhale — reach arms overhead, gaze up
Exhale — fold forward, gaze toward legs
Inhale — halfway lift, gaze forward
Exhale — step or float back, lower halfway

Inhale — upward facing dog, gaze up
Exhale — downward facing dog, drishti toward navel

Take 3 to 5 Ujjayi breaths

Inhale — step or float to the top of the mat, gaze forward
Exhale — fold forward, gaze toward legs
Inhale — rise all the way up, gaze up
Exhale — hands to sides, gaze forward

Repeat 3-5 rounds or as many as you would like.

Sun A is a full-body reset. It builds heat, strength, and stability while linking breath with movement. It gently wakes up the spine, opens the shoulders and hips, and supports circulation and focus. Repeated consistently, it becomes a moving meditation—calming the nervous system while energizing the body.

A great way to start the day!

Buttercups don’t force their bloom.
They open naturally toward the light.

Trust as your path unfolds — what is meant for you will always find its way.

One of my favorite teachings from our 200 .life was learning about the Five Enemies of the Mind—and applying them to my practice and my life.

This teaching truly changed me. It helped me see that what I once labeled as obstacles are actually patterns of the mind—natural, human, and something to be witnessed rather than fixed.

Yoga Sutra 1.2🫶🏻

“Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.”

Not the absence of thoughts-
but creating space so they no longer control you.
Through breath, movement, and awareness, we begin to quiet the noise and come back to ourselves.

This is the practice.

What is yoga?

Yoga is union—of body, breath, mind, and awareness. It is not only what happens on the mat, but how we show up in our lives, in our relationships, and in the way we relate to ourselves.

Less about how it looks, and more about how it feels.

What does yoga mean to you?
