Student Success Stories

L. F.

"I am an incredibly shy person, especially being in front of people, so when I started the program I wasn’t sure if I would really end up teaching. Rachel had us teaching from Day 1, she helped me find my voice, my confidence and step into my light. When I went to teach my first “real” class I felt more confident than I ever had in my life! This program was life changing for me and I cannot wait to start teaching!"

C. B.

“I am very grateful for my training and mentorship from Yoga Soul and Rachel. I highly recommend this program to any aspiring teachers. I am excited for my future as a yoga teacher!”

"I’m so grateful to Rachel and the safe, nurturing space she created for us all. I deeply appreciate the lineage of yogis that she comes from and so lovingly passed on to us.

I’m on cloud nine right now. : ) I feel so happy & grateful to have accomplished this goal that I’ve had for 7+ years. Thank you for teaching such a thorough, thoughtful, powerful and beautiful course & for taking the tome to meet with me today. That was a special experience for me. I will cherish my memories of our training sessions and will incorporate the things I’ve learned throughout my life."

Kim G.

"I am so enjoying this training—our group discussions, the Astanga practice, the pranayama, your thoughtful emails, and the wonderful group of humans taking this particular course. I feel that this training is opening pathways in my life, in ways that I cannot fully explain, but seem related to what we're doing and learning on our weekends and in between. This training is reconnecting me to my inner knowing and guidance, and also opening me to new philosophies, learnings, and ways of being in the world."

Cydney T.

Especially now that I have been out in the world putting theory to mat I can really feel why your program is different.I am confident that I have all of the pieces to build a practice with depth. I love that by the end I could not only sequence a class swiftly but I could explain my reasoning for the pose, pace, breathing etc. I felt truly set up for success in the industry and peace in my heart. I feel very fortunate to be your student. Peace and Love!

Scott H.

"I can’t say enough good things about Rachel. I completed both my 200-hour teacher training in 2021 and my 300-hour training at the end of 2024 under Rachel’s guidance, and I’m so grateful I did. Rachel is a kind-hearted, patient teacher who truly meets each student where they are—physically, mentally, and spiritually. She teaches from the heart, and you can feel that in every class and training session."

Kara

"I want to cultivate the qualities of life that will help us make it through what is to come and trust in the fractal lines that connect us to send the small changes I can make around me to the rest of the world. I think this has always been my goal in life, but this program has helped me find clarity and see the ways that it can be done."
