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.
Description
Though yoga has many physical benefits and can be a lifelong practice of self-discovery, beginning or re-starting a yoga practice may be intimidating to some people for a variety of reasons. Join us at One Soul in a space of self-acceptance and non-judgment for a back-to-the-basics introduction to yoga from 6:00-7:30 pm to learn why we practice yoga and to become familiar with fundamental yoga poses found in most yoga classes.
We will move through poses at a slower pace, focus on form, and learn techniques in order to be fully present on the mat and to remain consistent in a regular yoga practice. Whether you are new to yoga or wish to pick your practice back up, this workshop is suitable for ALL body types and fitness levels. One Soul Yoga always welcomes everybody and EVERY BODY.
This class is perfect for those new to yoga or looking to build a strong and confident foundation in a supportive and welcoming environment. No prior experience is necessary—just come as you are! Don’t have a mat? We have one for you to borrow.
Benefits of Yoga:
• Improves flexibility and balance
• Builds strength and stability
• Reduces stress and promotes relaxation
• Enhances mental clarity and focus
• Supports overall physical and emotional well-being
Join us to discover how yoga can support your journey toward a healthier, more balanced life.
Cost is $20 to join.
