Rachel Applegate
Private Yoga Teacher
meet rachel
In 2006, I took my first yoga class—feeling awkward, inflexible, and unsure of what to expect. But I walked out of that class feeling more alive, more connected. That moment sparked a deep journey of self-awareness—through my body, mind, and the world around me.
​
I completed my initial 225-hour teacher training at Yogalife Institute in 2010 and have since continued my studies in functional anatomy, sustainable movement, mindfulness, and accessible yoga. I hold a 500-hour advanced certification, along with additional training in private yoga instruction.
​
My passion lies in making yoga accessible and sustainable for every body.
I specialize in private, one-on-one yoga sessions, focusing on individuals who are beginners, older adults, or recovering from injury. I also teach gentle, chair yoga, perinatal yoga, and slow flow classes, always creating a welcoming and supportive space where students can connect with themselves.
​
Yoga is about ease, not competition. It’s about using movement and breath to bring intention, balance, and peace into daily life.
​
Outside of yoga, I enjoy reading, baking, and hiking. As a former art teacher, I enjoying drawing and painting when I can. I live in Phoenixville, PA, with my husband and three children.

Yoga is a practice of connection between all parts of ourselves and the world around us.
