Rachel Ribich began her body awareness journey as a gymnast and dancer, later discovering yoga though the sport of rock climbing in 2015. Asana practice came quite naturally which in-turn, propelled Rachel’s spiritual journey deeper into the subtle layers of the human body.

Rachel’s passion for continued education and sharing the benefits of yoga seem to infinitely strengthen over time, bringing that innate desire to ROOT Center for Sacred Studies in 2023.
