She is very passionate about the benefits Ayurveda provides and enjoys sharing her knowledge.Rachael’s teaching draws from Viniyoga, connecting breath with movement and Yin Yoga, using props to allow the body to soften and release on a deeper level. She uses breath and mindfulness as the main tools to restore and renew the body through slow poses and transitions. You will leave her class feeling rejuvenated and nurtured.
