Meet REBECCA RATCLIFF: Yoga Teacher at This Is Yoga

What was your inspiration for becoming a yoga teacher?

I was teaching dance when I really got hooked on hot yoga, I loved the way it made me feel and how much focus it required. For that one hour I was fully present, and it felt magic! I initially did my training to deepen my own practice and indulge in my own curiosity, but as soon as the training was over I got my first teaching gig and 6 years later here we are. 

Your favourite yoga pose if you have one?

I love me some pincha Mayurasana, lately attempting a hollow back in pincha has been my fun goal. I also live for SAVASANA!! 

What do you enjoy most about teaching?

Sharing yoga with others is such a dream. Seeing people come to yoga and leave feeling more relaxed and at ease with themselves. Creating a warm little cocoon for people to be present, play, breath slower, be kind to themselves and give themselves a break! I also really enjoy making a killer playlist for class! 

HOW CAN WE FIND YOU ON SOCIAL?
