Rachel’s Comments: (This was taken from her Facebook status after her first one on one with me)
“Oddly enough I learned a lot about myself from one session of yoga. I learned I love yoga, I learned that I can do yoga, I learned I never give myself enough credit, and I learned that doing yoga for the first time ever is gonna make me hella sore but in spite of that I can not wait to do it again. Thank you so much Chels for teaching me so much and not even meaning to. You will make an excellent yoga teacher!”
