“The dream of my life
Is to lie down by a slow river
And stare at the light in the trees–
To learn something by being nothing.”
–Entering the Kingdom by Mary Oliver

“I've consistently found Rachel's classes to be supportive, gentle, and encouraging. Rachel's classroom is welcoming and comfortable, with plenty of space to push yourself or lay on your mat for 75 minutes, listening to Rachel's soothing voice guide you through some much needed self-compassion.
