Meet Rachel G.

Welcome! I am a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified yoga instructor with experience teaching in the studio, gym, and virtual settings. I also teach private sessions and workshops. I became a yoga believer when my employer arranged for yoga classes to be offered after work. I was a long-time runner who never took time to stretch and recover. I left my first yoga class with a lightness in my step, a renewed outlook on life, and a new connection with my breath. I began to practice daily, and made the decision to enroll in the Life, Inspired yoga teacher training in 2017. I studied with Sara Cain-da Costa and Michele Tampa Hoag, graduated in June 2018, and started teaching the very next week. I have taught all over the York County, SC area and have developed a passion for various styles of yoga. I became certified to teach restorative yoga in February 2020 and love to teach power vinyasa, restorative, slow flow, and deep stretch. Always a student, I am currently pursuing my 300 hour yoga certification, as well as certifications in Yin yoga and yoga therapy for anxiety.
I give back to the community by teaching karma classes, and by founding a yoga club at the area high school where I teach English and Creative Writing. In my classes, I incorporate a mindful variety of asana, pranayama, and meditation to help each student practice their own unique form of yoga. I’m also known for a fun playlist.

Please contact me if you have any questions, and check out my class schedule. I hope to see you on the mat!
