In Motion Yoga and Wellness

 
   Rachel found yoga at the age of 16 but didn't  start studying seriously until a few years later when she really saw how yoga had a deep and profound effect on her as a whole.   She decided to take it a step further and deepen her path by teaching, and has now been teaching for almost 5 years years.
   Growing up in Vail CO, Rachel has always been active. An avid snowboarder, Rachel has been snowboarding for 17 years and professionally for 4 years. Traveling all over the world with her sponsors for contests and photo shoots.
   She began taking yoga as a form of training for snowboarding and fell in love with it. It helped with her balance, flexibility, and strength. "As I went deeper into my practice I noticed changes physically and mentally.  I found stability not just on my snowboard but in my mind as well." 
   Rachel has since retired from snowboarding professionally but continues to ride whenever she can!

  Rachel has now dedicated her life to studying and teaching yoga.  She is yoga alliance registerd teacher, has an advanced vinyasa power yoga certificate, AcroYoga certified, Baptiste Power Vinyasa yoga trained,  studied with the Chopra Center, and Max Simon of Self Centered.   Other teachers include, Janet Stone, Rusty Wells, Andrew Rivin, Desire Rumbah, Sianna Sherman, Julieta Claire, Simon Park, Yoga Slackers, friends, family, but she feels she learns the most from her students!

Rachel recently spent about 4 months in Chiang Mai, Thailand teaching yoga and studying the ancient healing art of Thai Massage.  She now has over 100 hours of training in Thai Massage and is always furthering her studies in this sacred and healing form of massage. 

 Rachel believes that "we are are own true teacher, we know what is true and best for us, but we just need a little guidence sometimes.  Yoga helps us find our athlentic self, inner light, and teacher again.   It brings us into alignment with our bodies, mind, and soul."

To think with the heart is to know the truth

  Rachel integrates the playfulness of Acroyoga, the dynamics of Baptiste Power Yoga, Alignment principals of Anusara, and the contemplative qualities from her teachings with Deepak Chopra into a yoga practice that is available to everyone.
