Rachelle found yoga after years as a competitive athlete in gymnastics, cheerleading, and rugby took a toll on her body. Completely awestruck by its magic, she soon began to feel the benefits yoga has to offer physically, mentally, and spiritually. It provided her with new tools to face challenges head on, empowered her to take control over her life, and taught her the importance of surrender. Over the past decade her practice has evolved and strengthened, with a current focus on hot power flows that help her feel more present, fluid, and in tune with her body.

Determined to deepen her understanding and gain more knowledge, Rachelle completed both her 200 and 300 Hour Teacher Trainings at the Down Under School of Yoga. She pulls inspiration from Masaaki Okamura and Stephen Gresham, whom she considers to be her mentors and greatest influences. 

In her classes, she aims to create a safe space for self-discovery and encourage her students to show up just as they are. She hopes that through this, people are able to explore their ever-changing intentions through awareness of the breath, physical body, and thoughts.

Rachelle’s favorite poses are Warrior 3 (Virabhadrasana III), Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana), and Headstand (Sirsasana). When she’s not on the mat, you can find her walking in nature, making fresh pressed juice, or dancing the night away under a disco ball!
