Rachel Peterson, the oldest of six children, developed her leadership and teaching skills from an early age. Throughout her career, she has spent more than 15 years in the non-profit space working to better the lives differently-abled and critically-ill children in Orange County. It was during this time that she realized the importance of nurturing the subtle body as well as the physical body.  

Rachel is passionate about sharing yoga with people of all ages as a means of developing life skills, such as confidence, integrity, gratitude, and self-awareness. She provides heart-centered, accessible sequences and presents themes that encourage kids, teens and adults to be their best selves on the mat, at home, and in the community.  

In her professional life Rachel is passionate about teaching yoga, business development and fundraising. When she is not practicing, Rachel enjoys time at the beach with her husband and rescue dog, Steve.
