So you practice yoga…

Maybe you've been practicing for years. Maybe you've never stepped on a yoga mat. Maybe you're planning a girls' weekend. Maybe you just stumbled in here because you like poetry. Honestly? I'm glad you're here. Because whatever it is, you’ve found a pretty damn good place to start.

Hi, I’m Rachel Hope!

I found yoga over a decade ago as a way to combat the anxiety that life brings. Along the way I fell in deep lust (maybe love) with the practice & became a certified instructor (Yin & Restorative, Vinyasa, & Hot 26 - Barkan). On any given day you can find me teaching at local studios here in the Hudson Valley. During this 13-year-or-so-year love affair the biggest thing I have learned is that every body comes to the mat for different reasons, & that every practice, even the set sequence ones, become unique to your body, your moment, your soul - the moment you step onto your mat. That's why every session I teach is built around the person (or people) in front of me, not the other way around.

Take a peek at the below offerings, see what feels like the right fit, & when you’re ready come say hi.
I’d love to practice with you.
