About the Teacher
Why study with them?
For Rachel Simone Wilkins E-RYT 500 // YACEP, yoga is an expression of the cosmic, creative pulse that connects us all. Her personal practice and public offerings are a soulful tapestry of creative movement, somatic awareness, spontaneous flow, intuitive choreography, open meditation and transformative pranayama. Our practice is a way to connect with the sacred within and to recognize the universal reflected within all of us. Rachel’s evolutionary approach to yoga is inspired by seasonal energetic shifts, lunar cycles, the radiance of the sun, the steadiness of the mountains, the fluid churning of the waves, the cleansing flow of the wind and the wild dance of the heart flames.
After growing up a dancer, a mixed media artist, and immersing herself in philosophical studies in college, yoga was the next evolution on her path. She completed her initial 200 hour certification in 2011 with Tracey Rich and Ganga White of the White Lotus Foundation, followed by advanced studies under their guidance. Shortly after, she completed an intensive training in Thai Massage with Phoebe Diftler. Rachel began studying with Shiva Rea in 2014 and received her 500 hour certification under the Prana Vinyasa lineage, as well as an initiation into Kalaripayattu in Kerala, India. Besides her beloved private and public class offerings, Rachel’s dharma is leading her empowering Embodying Shakti goddess workshop series and her Intuitive Vinyasa Flow RYS teacher trainings locally and globally.
