From: Speonk, NY

Why Rachelle started practicing and became an Instructor: I came to yoga 5 years ago, looking for a reprieve from the intensity of life and the intensity of the workouts I had been doing the majority of my athletic career. I was soon humbled by my asana practice and realized my body and my mental state would be infinitely challenged by my new found hobby. I soon took my passion for photography and yoga and combined my efforts, sharing my practice through social media. After practicing for a few years, I found myself at home, with my kids, like most of us were during covid. I decided to take to the internet and get my teaching certification through Yoga Renew. I started teaching privately, immediately.

About Rachelle: Hey Yogis! My name is Rachelle. I grew up in the local area, graduating from Westhampton Beach High School. You will often find me at the beach, the mountains, my flower farm, or anywhere else with fresh air and natural lighting. I implement my love of nature and music into my classes often.

What inspires Rachelle off the mat: Nature has always inspired me. Being outdoors brings me a sense of peace. Music also being my main source of inspiration, I’m drawn to anything that makes you feel the feels.

A note from Rachelle: I’ve had the pleasure of practicing with a wide array of teachers. All of which have left an imprint on me one way or another. Each and every one of them have inspired me to also share my knowledge and love for yoga with anyone willing to learn. I will forever be a student, and will forever love guiding my community of yogis. It is as much of a learning experience to be a teacher as it is to be a student.
