Testimonials

Dearest Rachel,

You are a wonderful teacher and a fountain of knowledge and experience. Your precision in teaching and ability to ‘feel’ what’s happening within a group of people is so impressive. I think Rachel the person outside yoga is even more impressive, and has a beautiful warmth. See you soon and thank you so much,

Thank you Rachel, for your beautiful heart.
You have given me a whole new idea of what yoga is. If I can emulate 1% of your clarity as a teacher, I will be happy.

I wish you so much love and happiness in your future life, lots of love,

It has been such a pleasure learning from you and your wealth of knowledge in such a humble and light environment. You are truly a lovely woman and teacher. Thank you for all your energy and smiles. It has been a wonderful journey inwards and I hope we meet again for more yogi fun in the future.

Lots of love and light,

Ode to Rachel,

I pulled out my new laminated poster of the flow sequence-ready to do a practice and I felt inspired to share my feelings. You have been a great influence in my life this past year. You have taught me how to balance myself through Ayurveda…now thanks to you I can see the imbalance coming and quickly try to fix it. ..

You have inspired me with your teaching. It’s not just correcting my postures, anyone can do that. It’s the love and care that you put into healing others, helping us to do the right thing. That, we are not posters, and to be aware of our body’s positioning.

You give so much encouragement when you teach in order to inspire us, not to push us but to keep going. ..you have encouraged me to create my own niche in life with Yoga Dance. How you remind me that things take time and how I am already fulfilling my dream..I really don’t know why I am crying right now. Guess I feel moved/happy that you have entered my life..

Much love,

Dear Rachel,

I can not control the exciting of myself. Even I have not said anything in the morning. I really have a lot of mind about teacher training.

First thank you very much. You are so great. I think studying yoga, not only it will change our body but also can change our magnetic field if we go deeper…all of us like you. That you have the responsibility of teacher, and we can feel all of your preparation. Although some things are too difficult for me I am trying to get clear about it everyday.

And I think we will study yoga all the time. Before this training I just do the physical exercise. But you and Bill change my mind. To be honest I can not believe this. I don’t believe in the chakras/ meditation/ kosha – it is supernatural. But now I think that if we can get it, that it is admirable…

I think I will not see you again I am crying.. Thank you so much!

Many things I wanted to tell you during the training. Some things because of language some things because have not time.

Now we can keep touch! It is my pleasure to be a student of you! I regret to have not good English to write email! Hope you can understand! Have a good journey!

Miss you!
