Move Breath Meditate
Rachel
She began practicing yoga to enhance her physical health, but soon discovered its benefits extended far beyond her expectations. At 24, she arrived in Hong Kong, driven by a passion for flying, which she pursued for a decade, traveling the world with a sense of freedom.
就像許多人一樣，她最初練習瑜伽是為了改善體能，但很快發現它的魅力遠超表面。24歲時，她來到香港，飛行是她最大的熱情。她飛行了十年，環遊世界，自由自在。
Aerial yoga captured her heart first, enchanting her with the sensation of floating on a hammock. Later, she explored mat yoga to address lingering injuries, finding it a perfect balance to aerial yoga and the intensity of Hong Kong life. This journey deepened her understanding of anatomy, meditation, mindfulness, and yoga, surpassing her initial captivation with the beauty of asanas.
空中瑜伽是她的初戀，她愛上了在掛布上飛翔的感覺。後來，她嘗試墊上瑜伽以治療舊傷，發現它是空中瑜伽與香港生活的陽剛之氣的理想平衡。這段旅程加深了她對解剖學、冥想、正念和瑜伽的理解，超越了她最初對體式美感的迷戀。
She studied under esteemed instructors like Jason Crandell, Patrick Creelman, Rinat Perlman, Samrat Dasgupta, and Tiffany Cruikshank, earning her Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 certification. Yet, she soon realized that certifications were less significant than the wisdom gained. She holds deep gratitude for all her teachers, past and present.
她師從Jason Crandell、Patrick Creelman、Rinat Perlman、Samrat Dasgupta和Tiffany Cruikshank等知名導師，取得了瑜伽聯盟E-RYT 500認證。然而，她很快意識到認證和數字遠不如所學的智慧重要。她對過去和現在的所有老師懷有深深的感恩和尊重。
Ultimately, her practice became a journey to "find her own breath."
最終，她的練習成為一場尋找"屬於自己呼吸"的旅程。
She recalls the stiffness and weak endurance she felt before yoga, and now cherishes how practice has granted her a healthier, more agile body and the calm to navigate stress. Yoga has empowered her with greater self-control, emotional resilience, and confidence in her life, work, family, and relationships.
她記得練瑜伽前身體的僵硬和肌耐力不足，如今珍視練習如何賦予她更健康靈活的身體以及面對壓力的平靜。瑜伽增強了她的自我控制力、情緒韌性，並讓她在生活、工作、家庭和人際關係中更自信積極。
Take a deep breath, slow and low rhythm
To me, yoga is about finding the rhythm of breath.
對我來說，瑜伽就是找到呼吸的節奏。
Staying in the present in my every pose.
在每一個體式中都活在當下。
Elevating my asana beyond the physical dimensions.
使體式練習超越身體形狀。
Noticing when I drift off, and bringing my thoughts back.
意識到當你思緒飄走的當下，把它帶回來。
Back to the long and steady breaths.
回到綿延沈穩的一呼一吸。
As they are the key to finding inner peace.
穩定、長而有規律的呼吸是找到內心平靜的關鍵。
And at the core of everything, from your yoga practice to your life.
從瑜伽練習延伸到生活，它是一切的核心。
No matter what you've experienced, the highs or the lows, the rhythm of breathing can bring us back to a new balance.
無論你經歷過什麼，高潮或低谷，呼吸的節奏都能讓我們回到新的平衡狀態。
“ Yoga is the dance of every cell with the music of every breath that creates inner serenity and harmony. ”

Testimonials
I've taken both group and private classes with Rachel, can't recommend her enough! She is super patient, very clear in her explanations and extremely knowledgeable, especially in describing the poses and how that ties in with the human anatomy. I find I can learn something new in each class with her. I feel stronger each class as well.

Rachel is a gifted yoga teacher. She is very attuned to my need for growth in my yoga journey and has guided me forward immensely. Her teachings are appreciative to the Indian roots and philosophy of yoga. This made our sessions all the more special and transformative. Thank you Rachel!
Yvonne Tse
Rachel is a very experienced teacher. She is patient, kind and truly takes the time to understand her students needs. She began by asking me my goals and needs to assess where I wanted to reach. I told her I've been having issues with my upper and lower back and she took the time to give me some assessment moves to see which side needed more focus. The flow afterwards was very tailor made to my needs. She also takes the time to explain the human anatomy to me and how each muscle group affects each other which gave me greater mind body awareness as I began to understand more of the connectivity. After my session, I felt great and that I had stretched and worked a lot of muscles I could not reach on my own. Rachel is always assuring me and making me feel safe in my practice and that is something I greatly appreciate. I look forward to more sessions with her.
Vivian Wang
As a complete Yoga beginner I was both excited and nervous about trying out my first class. Rachel's attentiveness and hands on instruction tailored to each individual student really put me at ease and allowed me to wholly enjoy my first experience. She has an uncanny ability to identify the strengths and needs of each individual student that allows her to make the class both challenging and rewarding regardless of your experience level in Yoga. Her passion for both the practice of Yoga and the instruction of it is unparalleled.
