Rachel Irelan

I'm orignially from San Diego, CA. I found my love for movement at a young age and have worked toward teaching yoga and dance my whole life.  I excitedly moved to Boston after being accepted as a scholarship student at The Boston Conservatory for a BFA in dance performance.  There I became a company member of the Touch Performance Art Company and performed throughout NYC and Boston as well as becoming Reiki certified.

I then moved back to San Diego, where I began my 200 hr yoga alliance teacher training with Namaste Pacific.  I also started teaching at various yoga and dance studios around San Diego, teaching kids as well as adults.  I have continued to dance professionally here and I'm a part of a few contemporary dance companies emerging out of San Diego.  Along with that I started a bluegrass band called The Moves that performs consistenly around southern california!  My hobbies include drawing, painting, jewelry making, playing music, and spending time outdoors. I am a unique teacher and leader, bringing movement and body awareness to the present moment through breath. My classes focus on alignment, core strength, and flexibility; aligning mind, body, and spirit while having a smile on your face!  I am dedicated to creating a fulfilling lifestyle; physically, mentally, and spiritually. I became a teacher to inspire others to find the joy in their own lives through staying active, nutrition, and helping others.
