Hi, I’m Rachel with Intuitively Flexible. I offer personalized private and group yoga sessions designed to meet your unique needs—whether you’re looking to build strength, improve flexibility, reduce stress, or reconnect with your body. I’ve been practicing yoga for over 20 years, and to say I’m passionate about it would be an understatement. I was first introduced to yoga in high school during a dance class, and it continued to reappear in my life in meaningful ways. By college, I was practicing regularly, and it quickly became a grounding force for me. Yoga has been a constant source of strength, balance, community, and healing—and it’s my joy to share that with others. In November 2024, I took a leap and earned my 200-hour teaching certification in beautiful Bali, Indonesia, guided and encouraged by a fellow yogi and close friend. My teaching approach is grounded, compassionate, and responsive to each student’s unique needs—whether you’re brand new to yoga or looking to deepen an existing practice. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where students can build strength, increase flexibility, and connect more deeply with themselves—on and off the mat. To make each session even more unique, every class includes a complimentary lavender or eucalyptus towel and cup of homemade chai—a small way to continue the warmth and mindfulness beyond the mat. Travel fee: To bring yoga directly to you, I charge a travel fee of $0.80 per mile, round trip from Palo Alto. This helps cover my travel time, gas, and car expenses, so I can keep my session rates fair and sustainable. Thank you for understanding! ✨ Please note: Thumbtack charges me around $25 for every inquiry, so I kindly ask that you reach out only if you’re seriously considering booking a session, even if it’s just a one-time trial. I’m happy to answer a few quick questions beforehand, but I do hope that reaching out reflects a real interest in moving forward. Thank you so much for your understanding—and I look forward to connecting with you!
