Gentle Yoga is for
EVERY BODY
Come as you are.
We'll find a version of each pose that works for you.
No matter your level of experience or physical condition, you are welcome here.
My name is Rachel, and it’s my mission in life to help people feel better in their bodies.
We can all use a little help now and again.
My tool of choice: Gentle Yoga.
Gentle Yoga is…
low-intensity
slow-paced
highly accessible
Gentle Yoga is designed to reduce stress, improve mobility, build strength.
Reach out if you have…
had numerous cortisone shots to alleviate pain in your joints, tendons, and muscles
scheduled or are recovering from a knee or hip replacement
always loved being active but pain and stiffness has gotten in the way of enjoying yourself
found it challenging to put on your socks and shoes
noticed it’s getting harder to get up and down from the floor
I incorporate gentle stretches that increase mobility, accessible yoga poses that build strength, and mindful breathing that reduces anxiety. It’s great for beginners, seniors, and anyone looking for a supportive environment. Motion is lotion… you will enjoy it!

Hamstrings
A lovely stretch for the hamstrings, especially after doing any physical exercise or even sitting in a chair (or the car) for too long.
Neck + Shoulders
Give love to your neck and shoulders with this simple routine…all you need is a strap (you can use the belt on your bathrobe!)
Quads
A sequence to aid the quads, hips, and hamstrings from a day of airplane travel. Enjoy!
