Give Yourself the Gift of Possibility

Continue doing the activities you love without pain or injury. Feel strong in your body. Improve your flexibility & balance, manage anxiety & stress. Learn to relax. Sleep better. Have more energy for life!

I work with individuals or small groups. You will complete a body map and a short questionnaire before you come to your first session. All sessions are 60 or 75 mins and are tailored specifically to you based on the information you have provided. Working one-on-one is the best way to address individual challenges, in a safe, mindful way that is not possible in ordinary group classes.

An individual approach is also a wonderful way to begin your journey with yoga if you are unsure, or overwhelmed, at the thought of joining a regular yoga class.

Why do I ❤️ this work? 

Because I ❤️ the magic of therapeutic yoga as it unfolds in the room

I ❤️ witnessing the shift in your being from when you come in the room to the time when you leave

I ❤️ seeing your body re-member as awareness evolves

I ❤️ watching the stress fall away from your face as you relax

I ❤️ the release and relief when pain dissipates in your body

It has changed my life. I want to help you change your life too!

Rachel’s Yoga Journey

Yoga came into my life in 2000 when I was experiencing personal challenges, and after two classes I could feel the shift in my body and I knew I had to teach! Since then, yoga has been an integral part of my life and has helped me in so many ways physically, mentally, and emotionally. I am a much better version of myself as a result.

In 2003 I became a certified Relax & Renew Trainer ®, a beautiful restorative approach to managing stress and pain that was developed by Dr. Judith Lasater, and one year later I certified as a Hatha Yoga teacher with Yoga for Today, Sherwood Park, Alberta. 

Since then I have had the privilege to learn from hundreds of students, who always teach me so much, as well as internationally renowned teachers from Canada, the UK, USA, and India including:

  • David McAmmond a therapeutic yoga guru who I have spent over a decade learning from

  • Sandra Sammatino who taught me the power of sound and yoga for many years

  • Chloe Goodchild who brought my voice to life!

  • Janice Clarfield who gave me the vessel to link my midwifery and childbearing experience in pre-natal yoga

  • Karen Hamdon & Lawrence Dombro who introduced me to the magic of India, ashrams & authentic yogic traditions

  • Sudhir Tiwari of the Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute, who revitalised my interest in Ayurveda & Pranayama

  • Susi Hately, who is currently mentoring me to bring therapeutic yoga to the world with new and exciting possibilities, helping me with my personal challenges around chronic pain, and hypermobility, and supporting me to help others

  • Brenda Feuerstein founder of Traditional Yoga Studies with whom I am currently studying Classical Yoga History & Philosophy

I am passionate about yoga and love learning, and love helping people learn about themselves

I believe in community, and volunteer my time, treasure, and talent with the United Way Lethbridge & South Western Alberta and the Yoga Association of Alberta, as well as other places of local need

I am a work in progress, a proud mum and 'nama', an animal lover, and someone who loves learning!

Blessings to Sophie who loves to do 'NamaYoga' with me.
