are you struggling with consistency?
Does this sound like you?
You've been WFH since the pandemic hit. Considering we're still navigating uncertain terrain, chances are you'll continue to do most things online for a while longer.
You tried to start a yoga practice and hopped on YouTube for inspiration. After a 20 - 30 minute "beginning yoga" class, the aches and pains are gone, you feel energized and in a slightly better mood.
And then life happens and you forget to schedule your next class in your calendar.
Engaging with free pre-recorded online content is a quick fix for a deep underlying need.
The need to be seen, to be able to ask questions and be as present and productive as you know you can be.
Attending one-off impersonal online group classes is not doing it for you anymore.
You're ready to invest in a more robust satisfying experience, because you know you deserve it.
You want to stay physically active, maximize your energy levels and deal better with stress.
You need a gentle nudge in the right direction and someone to help you stay on track.

ABOUT
I felt so deeply relieved and relaxed after my first yoga class I could barely get off the floor.
I had just said goodbye to my boyfriend who was going to live in another country. I thought I was pretty good at keeping my cool about this major life change, but that yoga class totally exposed the truth simmering underneath.
A dear friend invited me to attend her yoga class. Without major expectations, I decided to go. Towards the end, she guided the group through a beautiful visualization. Suddenly, I felt my heart beating faster, the chest expanding, my throat gripping... tears down my face. What was THAT all about?
The invincible wonder woman inside me was caught completely off guard.
The mask fell off, giving space to vulnerability, sadness and overwhelm. I don't usually connect with that part of myself. Do you?
In that moment of unexpected surrender, I remember vividly wanting to remain very, very still.
It was that quality of unwavering inner stillness - no matter what I'm going through - I became interested in recreating that in my everyday life.
Do you tend to be over-scheduled, mentally scattered and physically tired? Do you walk through life feeling like a chicken with her head cut off? It doesn't have to be like that.
After over 10 years teaching yoga, I've realized what I am meant to do in this planet: help people be more balanced and centered in their lives, one breath at a time.
I look forward to getting to know you, what drives you nuts and what makes you tick.
We're all in this journey together.
Warmly, Raquel
