A huge end of year shout out to and ! From teacher training at 34 weeks pregnant and then testing out at 38 weeks, to navigating the postpartum experience of a first time mom; these women have offered me endless support and love from day one and I continue to be shocked by their kindness.
This year has been filled to the brim with so much good, so much newness and learning. But for someone who is used to giving a lot of themselves to their teaching, having to adjust my personal expectations and learn to let go, has been a process. This could be a very long post, unpacking all the layers! Teaching for passion instead of for my career and day job, is something I have struggled with for years, but walking away from that lifestyle to create stability for my family and for my own mental health was needed and is something I am deeply grateful to have done this year. I'm lucky to have landed at an awesome company with the perfect team to spend 40 hours a week with! I believe in the good things coming and so should you. 🔮💫🤩
All the love to these amazing women and the loving space and team they have created. I can't wait to see us all succeed in 2025 and beyond!💙💙💙

Celia Mae made her arrival on March 23rd and since then we've been settling into a very different routine and basking in the baby snuggles!
Her entrance into the world was not how we expected it would look, but she arrived safe and healthy with this Ray LaMontagne song playing in the background of the OR, which I took to be a good sign.
She's everything and definitely the best thing that has ever happened to us! ❤️❤️❤️

Its happening! On Friday I will be launching my apparel shop via my website!!
I noted in my first post that this was a decade in the making and its no exaggeration. Back in 2012/2013 I began playing around with the idea of creating and selling hand printed tanks and tees via Etsy. I bought tons of supplies, shirts, stencils and started creating. Unfortunately my designs never came out the way I envisioned leaving me always less than pleased with the results. Printing by hand is also extremely time consuming and very susceptible to making mistakes that ruin your product in the process. Eventually I became overwhelmed with the whole endeavor and left it to languish.
But much like a lot of true interests of mine, it never went away and every vendor season I felt guilt and fomo.
And so here we are. After tons of effort and focus to complete this goal I am preparing to launch my shop and then in one month I will be undertaking my very first vendor show at the Free State Yoga Festival! And while vendor shows won't be my full focus, I am excited to have the ability to get out into the world and connect with my kinda people, in a completely new way.
Heart work for the win ❤️.
1. Yoga IS magic!
2, 3, 4. Some old designs from 2013-ish
5. Vendor show at my old coaching office, offering all the things!

Since receiving her 200 hour training in 2011, she has taught over 3,000 group and individual classes across five countries earning her the designation of Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance. She leads her classes with a mix of thought provoking intentions and light hearted conversation; finding its easier to dig deep, if the layers aren't so heavy.
Over the years she has had the privilege of teaching to most all populations and ability levels, allowing her to hone her skills of modification. Through this experience, she has seen first-hand that yoga is truly for everyone and can be adapted to any level. She has received certifications in prenatal yoga, as well as PiYo(pilates/yoga fusion). Always a student, she has taken various workshops and trainings to learn and continually develop engaging and more effective classes.

She currently co-leads the training with Yoga Patch owner Maria Murphy.
Rachel touts yoga as her biggest passion in life and feels extremely grateful to have stumbled onto it at such a young age. She finds immense fulfillment in helping people live more full lives by developing a mind body connection. Through her own personal practice, self study and her teaching she has realized how profound that connection can truly be. She feels knowing and understanding ones self, is the truest form of self care and the path to a truly healthy and happy life.
She highly respects and values her participants and the yoga and wellness community at large, knowing that we are much stronger together than separate. In an effort to help serve and continue to expand her skills, she received her certification in life coaching. She aims to coach in the areas of self development and is excited to help her clients work through limiting beliefs and uncover their true passions.
Always learning, Rachel is currently back in school beefing up her anatomy, movement science and nutrition knowledge; working towards a fitness and nutrition degree.
