YOGA"I feel more relaxed on the days when we have class. I have less back pain, am more limber, and have learned to slow down my mind." –Polly
"Rachel’s teaching style is perfect for me—non-judgmental and always gentle. Her humor is most appreciated. I leave feeling relaxed and accomplished. Some yoga positions are just impossible! But my endurance, flexibility, balance, and strength have increased." –Nancy |
"Classes with Rachel have left me feeling more connected to myself, more introspective. I feel released from the routine of life, more awake yet relaxed. I appreciate the consistency and tone of the class." –Cynthia "What I like is that Rachel truly incorporates mind, body, soul. It’s about strength and stretching, but it’s also about opening yourself with your breathing, and setting an intention for your day. After yoga, I feel great. It used to take me awhile to settle into the yoga, and my mind was bouncing all over the place. But I’m getting much better about tuning in to it and being fully present." –Debbie

"I like Rachel’s calm, positive approach. I also appreciate the mental or psychological side, learning to let go of what doesn’t matter anymore. Classes leave me feeling healthy, grounded, refocused, peaceful and thankful. I can’t imagine going through cancer treatment without Rachel’s class. It kept me focused on being healthy, and I regained my full range of motion after the mastectomy." –Kim "I have had the privilege of hosting a yoga class for the last 8 years with Rachel as our teacher. Over the years I have been asked "What kind of yoga does she teach?" In each of the moments that I picture our time together in class, I am given the gift of understanding how Rachel shares and how much I appreciate being one of her recipients. Rachel has a keen sense of self. Her voice is soft yet firm, distinct and easy to listen to with clear direction. She imparts self-confidence and assurance to her students. She encourages us to reach towards our potential and to dismiss the "I can'ts" that linger in our minds. She reinforces our personal best not the perfect pose. The teaching style that has developed over the years for her enables students to choose to be in their core power and to focus on breathing as manna. –Nancy F-T

"Although I can’t always fully get into yoga positions (due to back surgery) I feel that overall I am getting more flexible and strengthening my core. Rachel is gentle and encouraging. After class I feel more flexible, more aware of my body—both its strengths and limitations." –Amy

"I like the opportunity for personalized work in a class setting. I love the length of time we are offered to sink into a pose. I know that I have time to get to that real level of release, which sometimes takes awhile. Breathing through difficult poses and not reacting or tightening is something I apply to the rest of my life: in relationships, at work, running. I’ve learned I can push myself without stressing myself and that it’s ok to feel it, whatever it is." –Maureen |
TANTRA
"At the end of the two hours, I loved my body – not just accepted, but loved it. I wish it were four hours instead of two. After this workshop you will know without a doubt that you are divine and connected."
|
"I was reminded how simple it is to stop, breathe, and connect with my body. It was a great opportunity to connect with primal energy and feel your power, sexual energy and joy." |
"I would come to this once a month. If a friend was considering attending, I would say "do it!"
|
"I realized how much I enjoyed connecting in an open and even somewhat sexual way. This was a beautiful and connecting experience."
|
"I got out of my head and into my heart. If a friend were considering attending, I would say wear comfortable clothes and leave your frustrations at home." |
"A discovery I made during the workshop was that I am in charge of my sexual energy. If a friend were considering attending I would say if you want to increase your power and sexual energy you must attend. It is gentle and playful and eye-opening." "During this experience I felt a great expanse of golden vibrating energy, a breakdown of walls, a feeling of getting back in touch with touch. The very well selected activities were very balanced. It was a fantastic warm loving atmosphere. Somehow, some way, a group of complete strangers were guided molded into an ocean of love."

"I opened my energy noticeably. If a friend were thinking about attending I would say, you might need to hug a stranger, but nothing scarier." |
