Meet Rachael:
Rachael began teaching yoga in 2008 to Soldiers and decided to become a certified teacher shortly after. Her first training was with Pamela Schulte, Just Practice Yoga in St. Louis, Missouri. Rachael was very fortunate to find Just Practice Yoga with such an amazing teacher and without much knowledge of the area. Pamela’s training came from a strong Ashtanga background from her mentor and teacher, Birch Beryl Bender. Rachael moved to North Carolina where she found Lisa Clark, Embody Yoga. Again, she found another amazing teacher in the methods of Body-Mind-Centering, Integral and restorative yoga. Since then, Rachael has done various trainings to expand her knowledge and diversify in the yoga field. Most recently, she has completed advanced teacher training with Ana Forrest in Forrest Yoga and training with Manju P. Jois in Ashtanga Yoga. Being a member of the military community, she also completed her Yoga Warriors training in April 2009 and gives classes regularly at Fort Bragg, NC. Rachael is currently attending her 500 hour training with Rolf Gates in vinyasa yoga.
