A weaver of movement, touch, and creative expression, blending her lifelong passions for yoga, massage, dance, and textiles into a deeply embodied practice. With over three decades of experience, she approaches each modality as a sacred thread in the tapestry of personal and collective transformation.
A dedicated student and teacher of yoga for 30 years, Rachael holds a BFA in Dance and Choreography from VCU and has trained in Ashtanga, Kripalu, Anusara, Bikram, and Kundalini traditions.
