My Yoga Friend,Rachel

My work lives at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern life — what I call The Art of Staying.

I work with Yoga and Ayurveda not as performance, productivity, or self-improvement, but as relational skills: ways of listening, regulating, digesting, and returning in a world that overwhelms our nervous systems.

This is a householder path.
A rooted life.
A devotion that does not require disappearance.

I teach people how to stay with their lives — their bodies, their emotions, their responsibilities, their pleasure — without force or collapse. How to build rhythms that can hold children, grief, beauty, fatigue, longing, and joy. How to live in ways that make sense to the nervous system, not just the mind.

I share Yoga and Ayurveda the way I live them:
as invitations to soften into the moment, eat food as medicine and what your body is truly asking for, and meet your emotions as intelligent messengers — not problems to fix.

I believe healing doesn’t have to be solemn.
That cravings are clues.
That feelings are worth listening to.
That joy is just as sacred as discipline.
That beauty, when it’s regulated and lived-in, can be medicine.

For over 15 years, I’ve shared these practices in many settings — from busy city studios to pediatric clinics, quiet living rooms, schools, and hospitals. My studies have taken me from New York to Thailand and back home again, always guided by the same question:

How do these ancient sciences become livable in modern life — not as ideals, but as lifelines?

I’m an Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist (ERYT-500) with over 15 years of experience teaching yoga, meditation, and emotional resilience. My work centers on digestion — of food, emotion, and experience — as well as nervous system safety, ritual, and rhythm.

I work especially with women and sensitive humans who are tired of extremes. People who want devotion without rigidity, pleasure with containment, and practices that can survive real life — not just retreat life.

We begin there — and we keep coming back.
