a little about me:
Hello! I’m Rebecca—yoga teacher, meditation guide, and lover of life. I help anxious and overwhelmed people reconnect with their bodies and find their inner peace. I believe yoga and meditation help people live happier and healthier lives by strengthening the bond between mind and body.
My favorite yoga pose is shavasana, corpse pose, the pose of complete relaxation. When I taught yoga in New York City, I made it my mission to get those stressed out city-dwellers to relax! I became known for a good shavasana. So I took my passion one step further and created my most special offering: Swaddled Shavasana, a deeply relaxing sensory deprivation experience using linen sheets and weighted blankets that has helped many feel safe enough to finally let go of mental, emotional, and physical tension.
In the theme of relaxation, my other favorite offering is Yoga Nidra, or “sleep yoga.” Yoga Nidra is a specific form of guided meditation practiced in shavasana, of course. Not only is it extremely relaxing, Yoga Nidra can help with sleep issues such as insomnia as well healing from trauma and ptsd.
Lastly, I’m attuned to channel Reiki, a universal life energy, which has helped me undo energetic stress that has at times manifested physically (hello, TMJ!). It’s my great pleasure to channel this timeless energy to help you heal whatever ails you.
Aside from my work, I’m committed to my own healing journey and practice what I preach! I also love cooking and feeding my friends and family. I’m currently finishing my bachelors degree with plans to go on to earn a doctorate in occupational therapy. I’m excited to take my love of healing the relationship of self and body to new avenues as an occupational therapist!
My Offerings:
Yoga
A physical practice designed to meet you exactly where you’re at. My teaching draws inspiration from Vinyasa, Hatha, restorative, and yin yoga. A private yoga session can meet both your physical and emotional needs on any given day.
Yoga Nidra
A specific guided meditation designed to put you in a hypnogogic state somewhere between sleep and awake. In this liminal space your brain waves slow down, and your autonomic nervous system shifts to the “rest and digest” parasympathetic system where cells turn over and organs function at their best. It is said that just 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep!
Swaddled Shavasana
Healing through relaxation. This blissful experience uses weighted blankets, eye masks, and other sensory deprivation tools reduce stress, anxiety, and pain. You’ll surrender to receiving care, the perfect way to refill your cup!
Reiki
Reiki energy is a subtle, benevolent healing modality that addresses all kinds of ailments. Reiki is Japanese for “universal life energy.” If your energy is low causing sickness and stress, Reiki treatments will help fortify your life force, having you feeling more energetic and content!
