YogaSoul · East Millcreek Shala

You’ve outgrown
the studio.

You know yoga is more than this. You just haven’t found the space that treats it that way.

Most studios are built for volume—large classes, quick sequences, a teacher who can’t see you in the back row. If you’ve been practicing for a while and feel like you’re going through the motions, that’s not a you problem. It’s a room problem. Rachel teaches out of her East Millcreek shala—a quiet, personal space that holds a handful of students, twice a week, by design. The practice here is unhurried and real. If you’re ready for something that actually meets you, reach out and she’ll share the schedule.

The Shala

What you can expect
when you come to practice.

This is not a public studio. It’s a personal practice space, held with intention. Classes here are small, personal, and shaped by what the students in the room actually need.

🏠

A personal space, not a studio

Rachel’s shala in East Millcreek holds a handful of students per class by design. There’s no front desk, no crowds, no background music. Just a well-cared-for personal space and a teacher who has been doing this for a long time.

🧘

Teaching that meets you where you are

When a class is small enough that Rachel can see every student clearly, it changes what teaching can do. You’re not following along anonymously — you’re practicing, and she’s there with you in it.

🌞

Weekday mornings, with intention

Classes run twice a week during weekday mornings when Rachel is in town. The schedule is shared directly with students who reach out — not posted publicly. This keeps the space small and the practice consistent.

Reach out to Rachel

Email Rachel to let her know you’re interested. She’ll share her current schedule with you directly — and the address of the shala. The schedule isn’t posted publicly, and neither is the location. That’s intentional. This is how the space stays small and the practice stays real.

Come and practice

Arrive at the shala, unroll your mat, and let the practice do what it does. Rachel’s been teaching for 18+ years. The work here is worth returning to.

Your Teacher

Rachel Cieslewicz

C-IAYT WYF Grandmaster B.S. Exercise Sport Science

Teaching yoga out of a personal shala isn’t a step down from a studio — it’s the kind of teaching I’ve always wanted to do. Small groups. Real practice. Students I actually know. This is the work I love most.

Rachel has been teaching yoga for over 18 years, training more than 300 students through YogaSoul’s 200-hour and 300-hour programs. Her credentials — C-IAYT certification, World Yoga Federation Grandmaster, Bachelor of Science in Exercise Sport Science — inform the way she teaches, but what you’ll notice first is the depth and the quiet attention she brings to every class.

She practices what she teaches. The shala exists because she believes in the practice, not because she wants to run a studio. If you’re ready to practice, she’s ready to teach.

The classes that change your practice are not always the ones in the biggest rooms. Sometimes they’re the ones where somebody actually sees you on your mat — and knows enough to say the right thing at the right moment.
