About Racquel
Racquel has studied yoga for more than 40 years and has been a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher since 1995. Racquel’s classes are based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar (1918-2014), world renowned yoga master and author of the seminal yoga text Light on Yoga. The Iyengar method emphasizes precision of alignment in the poses to nurture balance – muscular, postural, mental and emotional. Iyengar Yoga provides a complete approach to physical health, mental clarity, and serenity to quiet the mind and establish a stable center from which to live our lives.
Racquel has academic degrees in Physical Education and Dance, and Sport Psychology, and worked as a movement therapist for 10 years. She has studied with the Iyengars at the Ramani Iyengar Institute in Pune, India, and continues her studies regularly with many senior Iyengar teachers in the US. She has recently retired from a long career in government and is excited to have more time to devote to her yoga studies and teaching.
Racquel’s classes are accessible to all abilities and levels, using props and individualized attention for the needs of different bodies. Her approach develops integration of the outer and inner self leading to a deepening sense of awareness, self-acceptance, and joy. She is committed to growth and discovery and loves to support others in their journey in yoga and life.
