Rachael Sellars, Las Vegas, NV
My teaching begins with the simple truth that I love Yoga. My classes are playful, yet disciplined to honor the students’ practice in a skillful, organic and creative way. My hope is to motivate and educate my students to live to their fullest, most creative and authentic potential. I teach at Yoga Sanctuary and have my own Yoga and Massage business.
