Rachel Finney
Rachel (CYT 500) began practicing yoga in 2014 at Brick House Yoga in Sulphur Springs. She was training for a half-marathon at the time and wanted to use yoga to prevent injury and aid in stress relief to reduce migraine headaches. While a yoga practice was perfect for both of these goals, she found so much more on the mat. Without a doubt, the yoga mat is the first place she has ever experienced complete non-judgment. It is where she learned self-acceptance, presence and stillness--and it is where she started a journey of self-discovery that continues today. In short, yoga changed her life. She holds additional certification in Restorative, Yin and Trauma Informed Yoga and has a special interest in teaching body-positive classes and classes geared for beginners.

As you begin any yoga practice, always remember that the mat is a place of self-acceptance and non-judgment.

Our first goal is to learn how to feel at home on the mat and to feel comfortable “being” instead of “doing.” Yoga is a beautiful lifelong practice of self-discovery, and we will address ways to create a consistent yoga practice and take yoga off the mat, into our lives, and into the world.
