A love of movement and a belief in its healing power led Rachel to PachaMama, Costa Rica for her 200-hr certification. She is a Little Rock native with a background in dance, and began practicing yoga as a supplement. She quickly fell in love with the practice and its effect on her mental and physical health, and practiced for a few more years before feeling called to share it with others. Rachel also teaches and performs with Arkansas Circus Arts, Little Rock's cirque troupe and studio. She is passionate about sharing movement and believes it inspires health and happiness.
