I had so much fun and left class feeling amazing!" - Alfredo "Your style of teaching really resonates and your energy/enthusiasm is so contagious. I love learning from you because you teach from this place of total embodiment." - Mara "Rachel is such a somatically attuned teacher, that I would highly recommend a lesson.
