-Open Your Heart, Open Your Hamstrings
-The ABC's of Yoga: Art, Bake, Create!
Rachel Meyer is a San Francisco-based yoga teacher and writer who lovingly straddles both the academic world of yogic philosophy and the "real world" of asana, meditation and service. She's an RYT who has written for Yoga Journal, trained with Rusty Wells and Bikram Choudhury, and studied under groundbreaking theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether toward a Masters in Social Theory and Body Theologies in Berkeley, CA.
Rachel's practice is primarily Vinyasa-based, with strong emphases on music, laughter and dance. She came to yoga from a background in musical theater and choreography. Her blog serves as an informal arena for discussing yoga philosophy, the arts, books, politics, pop culture, vegetarianism, and more. Rachel teaches studio-based vinyasa at Flying Yoga Shala and Glow Yoga & Wellness, private corporate classes in the Financial District, and non-profit classes in the Mission, and feels blessed to practice with and assist MC Yogi and Rusty Wells at his donation-based studio, Urban Flow. She looks forward to meeting you on the mat and sharing her love for this light, lyrical, life-changing practice.
On Saturday, we’ll be joined by Amy Dube and Karen La Due of The Kitchen Yogi. Amy Dube is an avid yoga practitioner and a marketing maven. Karen La Du is a lifelong yoga practitioner and a working artist and teacher.
