Welcome to Yoga Teacher Talk (formerly The Language of Yoga) and what a season premiere it is! Host Becca is joined by her guest Rachel Chase, a dancer-turned-energy healer, yoga teacher, and therapist whose path is anything but ordinary.
Rachel's story begins where all great stories do: in the body. She came into this world moving, and dance became her first language — her communion with the divine. But the road from semi-professional dancer to Reiki master, yoga teacher, past life regression practitioner, and Holistic Mental Health Counselor and Spiritual Guide was paved with injuries, personal breakthroughs, and a courageous journey that has brought her to where she is today.
Rachel shares how she blends gentle yoga, somatic processing, energy work, breathwork, creative movement, and self exploration into an integrative healing practice, and why she intentionally stepped away from rigid alignment cuing to hold space for her students' inner wisdom instead.
Join us as Rachel and Becca share practical advice on the creative spirit of yoga teachers, leading your first workshop, and giving yourself permission to teach in your own beautifully imperfect way. Enjoy!
