About Me
Embarking on the journey to become a yoga teacher requires not only courage, humility, strength, and integrity but also a profound love for oneself and a fervent desire to serve the collective. This belief is the cornerstone of my mission for Rachel Hanberry Yoga.
As a full time Yoga Teacher Trainer I am passionate about developing mindful and confident yoga teachers with informed philosophical and physiological alignment.
I am dedicated to empowering women through the transformative practice of yoga. I teach yogic techniques that can be applied to personal growth and shared with others. I am here to listen, guide, and assist women in uncovering their unique purpose in life.
At Rachel Hanberry Yoga, I champion the power of connection - to oneself, to others, and to the world around us. I advocate for self-love and self-acceptance, and I foster a supportive community through women's circles, placing a strong emphasis on the importance of ritual and ceremony in life's celebrations with my advanced training offers.
My training offerings primarily take place online, supplemented by a selection of in-person yoga workshops and summer beach classes.
As a Registered Yoga Alliance and Yoga Detour Instructor, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our teachings.
Originally from Halifax, UK, I now spend most of my time in Landes, France, where I live with my husband and daughter. We enjoy an active lifestyle that includes running, cycling, paddle boarding, and of course, yoga!
I look forward to being a part of your life journey and adventure. Until then, I encourage you to live your life with love, truth, and integrity.
With warmth and gratitude,
Rachel
