Rachelle is a special educator with Boston Public Schools. Her yoga journey began in 2012 with her students through a weekly yoga group. Through this experience she started to realize the powerful effects of yoga on the body, and as a result began to develop her own practice. After exploring different styles and lineages of yoga, Rachelle found hot yoga and the Hot 26 series. The physical and mental benefits were transformative. Rachelle soon became a regular practitioner and discovered the powerful connection between the body, mind and soul.

Rachelle’s practice has continued to grow alongside her teaching. She has participated in several teacher trainings and workshops to expand her understanding of yoga as a physical practice and way of life. She is currently participating in a yoga and SEL training with Breathe 4 Change with hopes of growing her knowledge of movement, mindfulness, meditation, and breath work alongside history and philosophy. Rachelle is passionate about sharing yoga and creating opportunities for access and inclusively with respect for the culture and ancient practice.
