Rachel Drouillard

Hello. My name is Rachel and I am a full time yoga instructor in Calgary, Canada. I have owned and operated Rachel Ann Yoga for nearly 7 years and have taught over 4500 hours of yoga since. I have completed over 1000 hours of study with various schools worldwide to ensure I can provide the latest information on bio-mechanics, asana/poses, meditation and breath work. 

I have been teaching yoga to a vast demographic of people since I graduated with my 250 hour certificate in 2011. I currently teach high profile Lawyers, Oil and Gas Engineers and for the Calgary Police Service along with several studios across the city and surrounding communities. I also teach at several summer camps for kids ranging 12-19 years of age and host yoga retreats throughout the year. 

I am a lively individual who lives life to the fullest. I am reliable, professional and very outgoing. I have lots of energy for life which shines with each smile I share and each class that I teach. 

I traveled through India to expand upon my knowledge of yoga and meditation. There I studied at various ashrams throughout the country and ended my journey by graduating with my 500 hr Teaching Training certificate.  During my training, I studied with 3 high-profile, inspirational teachers that ignited a new love for teaching. This passion has led me to a new zest for my entire life. I have a new thirst for guiding people through a yogic experience; not just an Asana practice or workout. I have the capability of adjusting my teaching style to meet the classes’ criteria and to meet people where they're at. Not all bodies are the same nor should your yoga practice be. I am known for my sense of humor and my lively nature. My teaching style is directed towards unifying the breath to bring awareness into our daily lives. I safely guide students in and out of postures focusing on correct alignment and dynamic sequencing to ensure the students receive the most from their time on the mat and with me.

My introduction to yoga began on the mat because my drive for weight loss and a stress free lifestyle. I soon realized that this new found ‘exercise’ was awesome and I needed to know more. I dove head first into my 250 hour Teacher Training with Yoga Passage. On March 27, 2011 I graduated with a certificate in hand; a force of sheer laughter and joy pushing me to share my love for yoga. 

Traveling under your brand would not only allow me the freedom to share my practice with more people but to also proudly carry your brand. Thank you for this opportunity.
