Testimonials

I never thought yoga was for me. I had tried classes before but always left feeling like I didn’t belong — until I took one of Raquel’s classes. From that first class, I realized I could practice yoga — and actually enjoy it. Her thoughtful guidance, encouragement, and the way she seems to say exactly what I need to hear always keeps me coming back. I have physical injuries, and Raquel’s attention to my individual needs and the integrity of movement makes me feel safe, supported, and capable. Whether it's warm yoga or Pyro Pilates, her classes give me an hour to truly care for myself — mind and body. -Kelly R.

Raquel's practice and energy genuinely changed my life for the better. I attended her classes frequently during some difficult times in college, and it was one of the only things that made me feel good and welcomed at the time. I have never felt more valued as a student, she would even notice and voice concern if I missed a class. I could not give her a stronger or higher recommendation, I truly value every thing I learned in her classes. Her passion for the practice and love for her students is something I think everyone should be able to experience. - Hannah C.

Raquel is an amazing yoga instructor! I have had the pleasure to take her classes for a few years during my time in college and I can proudly say that her classes were the highlight of my week. She really cares for her students and starts each class with affirmation cards and oils (if you want)! I really enjoy how each week of classes builds off of the last week of class. Raquel also is great with reminding you to do what is right for you and your body which is so important. Overall, I would 100 percent recommend her classes to anyone looking to destress, grow their yoga skills, or even just want a relaxing workout. - Alyssa M.

As a fellow yoga teacher, I can truly say it’s a gift to find a class where you can fully settle into the practice and be guided with ease. Raquel is that teacher. She has a gentle presence, offers clear cues, and creates a space where you feel supported in making the practice your own, without the pressure to keep up with others. One of my favorite parts of her classes is the unique wisdom and channeled messages she shares—they always seem to be exactly what the class needs. Her sessions are a perfect balance for the body, mind, and soul.- Tejal P.

I have loved every second of my experience in the studio with Raquel. I was new to yoga when I first started going to her classes, but I was hooked immediately. I have loved the warm atmosphere and positive environment. The sense of community that I have felt in the studio and with Raquel has been unmatched. I always looked forward to going to class with Raquel. It has given me a sense of mental clarity, which has been so amazing. 100% would recommend! - Mark B.

I had the opportunity to do a virtual session with Raquel early in January. I hadn’t done yoga in a couple months so I was a bit nervous about getting started. As the class started and Raquel welcomed us in, the nerves dissipated with her calming tone, my spirit became at ease. She maintained a good pace while going through the poses, and I didn’t feel the need to keep up as she constantly affirmed it was okay to “do what feels comfortable to you”. I have since then followed her on Instagram and look forward to another class with her, hopefully a retreat one day! I definitely recommend her to anyone at any stage of their yoga practice! - Abi S.

I love Raquel's classes! She always seems to know what I'm looking for in my practice. Whether I need to feel grounded and supported or energized and inspired, she has me covered. Her use of affirmation cards, essential oils and cold stones add that little extra something special that you don't get in many other classes. Plus, she's just such a lovely and warm person, someone you want to have in your life. I highly recommend practicing with her! -Leah K.

Raquel is a phenomenal yoga teacher. She is the human form of  sunshine and will often know exactly what her students need. Raquel always prepares a creative flow for her students. Her class is always the biggest sell out at all the studios she has taught at. Raquel develops personal relationships with all of her students and makes them feel comfortable even as new students. As a studio owner, I always felt at ease on the days that Raquel taught. She is truly one of the most amazing humans and I will love her for eternity. - Mandee B.

I have been attending Raquel's yoga classes for the past few years, and it has been an incredible journey for me. Her engagement with the class is truly special. She creates an inviting atmosphere with her perfect music choices and enhances the experience by personalizing each session with essential oils and affirmations.

I highly recommend her classes to anyone looking for a transformative yoga experience. - Mel A.

You can just feel it, Raquel is the kind of teacher who instinctively and wholeheartedly embodies the essence of yoga. I have been a student of Raquel’s for a few years, and I am continually awed by her profound knowledge and enthusiastic passion for yoga asana, the human body (anatomy), and philosophical wisdom. I always leave her class feeling energized, relaxed, and grounded—the way the ancient yogi’s intended. - Keith B.

love Raquel’s energy. Energy for life, for personal growth, for uplifting her students and building a community. Her class is filled with strength, gentle guidance to shifting your mental space, and your heart. She guides the class with confidence, and the whole room rises to meet her. I love her added touch to enhance your senses in her class; incorporating affirmation cards, essential oils, and cold lavender stones to bring depth to your practice. Raquel uplifts you so you can believe in your own ability, and push beyond it. - Erin E.

I've had the pleasure of practicing virtual yoga with Raquel's expert guidance on and off for the past 2-3 years. She leads with beautifully balanced flows and powerful poses, always being mindful of her students' different levels.

Beyond her incredible teaching skills, Raquel's warmth and kindness create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere in every class.
