Know what doesn’t change.
Study what does.
This is the fire of self-knowledge.

Never stop seeking….

The body is both shrine and memory—holding every action, thought and experience. When we tend to it with care, clearing what has accumulated, we uncover the luminous essence beneath.

Through mindful movement, breath and energetic practices, we create the conditions for balance, clarity and deeper connection.

As teachers, our role is to guide students toward their own unfolding, not to shape them in our image. Their practice should evolve around their needs, rhythms, and discoveries—so that yoga becomes a living, breathing part of who they are, far beyond our guidance.

🌱Student-Centered Growth: Emphasize that yoga is not about replicating the teacher’s form but about discovering one’s own evolving relationship with breath, body, and awareness.

🪞Practice as Mirror: Share that the mat reflects the student’s life off the mat—their energy, emotions, patterns. Teachers are guides, but the real practice is how students learn to listen, adapt, and grow through their own experience.

🔥Empowerment: Frame teaching as giving students tools rather than prescriptions. The goal is to empower them to carry practice into their own lives, evolving independently of the teacher’s preferences or presence.

🫴🏼Non-Attachment: Connect it to the principle of aparigraha (non-grasping)—teachers let go of ownership of the students’ journey, trusting their path will unfold naturally.

✨A deep bow to our newest 300-hour certified teacher ✨

Rachel began her yoga journey at age 15, when she accompanied a friend to a class at her local gym. She quickly fell in love with the practice, which offered her a chance to slow down, connect with her body, and grow curious about the mind–body relationship.

With a background in dance, Rachel has always cherished creative movement, yet yoga gave her something different—a space to accept herself fully, without the pressure to perform or fit into a mold.

She is particularly inspired by the subtle dimensions of yoga, including breathwork, meditation, and stillness, and finds joy in witnessing her students’ experiences of self-discovery and empowerment through practice.

In addition to teaching yoga, Rachel is a practicing mental health therapist, a role that deepens her appreciation for yoga’s ability to support healing, resilience, and balance.

Even the most seasoned meditators can find themselves caught in old loops—reactivity, self-criticism, rumination, and contraction. Despite years of practice, unconscious triggers and lingering wounds often resurface.

✨ The Luminous Coherence Method emerged from a simple but profound inquiry: Why do these patterns persist, and is freedom truly possible?

This four-stage protocol is designed to recondition the brain where memory, belief, and conditioning are held—opening access to a steadier, freer awareness. Rooted in non-dual wisdom, mindfulness, self-inquiry, kriya meditation, and even quantum physics, it offers a pathway beyond repetition into real transformation.

Join us live or through the recordings to explore the teachings of neuroscience, meditation, and coherence—and to experience the practice directly.

Livestream dates: October 11, 25, November 8 & 22 at 11am MT.

After years of study, reflection, and refinement, Rod has developed a new method. The first time he taught it, the results were profound—especially as it related to its positive impact on transforming self-limiting patterns and perhaps, most notably, trauma.

We believe this method has the potential to change not only how one meditates—but how one lives, perceives, and relates to oneself and the world. The various stages of the practice invite one into deeper levels of clarity, resilience, and grounded liberation––acceptance as much as, or even, more than transcendence.
