E-RYT - 500Upon graduating from the University of Michigan with a degree in architecture, Rebecca moved to San Francisco to pursue a new career in the design field. It was 2003 in San Francisco where she began her yoga practice. She found a new passion, a passion for her own self-awareness and self-realization. This commenced her journey, transforming her life of design into a life of healing and helping others. Since completing her 500+ Hour Ghosh Lineage Yoga teacher training course in 2006, she continued her studies and completed an additional 500 Hr Yoga Training with Jason Crandall.     Rebecca approaches both teaching and her own practice with compassion, passion, and dedication. She is known for her encouraging and optimistic style of teaching that incorporates both the physical and mental aspects of a yoga practice. Her positive attitude on and off the yoga mat is contagious. Rebecca has had the opportunity to travel and share her passion throughout the United States, as well as Europe and Central America leading retreats and co-leading teacher trainings. After owning and operating her own yoga studio in Pittsburgh, PA for 7 years, Rebecca recently made the tough decision to sell her studio and move closer to family to raise her family here in Bellaire, Michigan.  She practiced yoga throughout her pregnancies up until she gave birth.  She credits all the time on her yoga mat to having enjoyable pregnancies and being able to stay focused and in the present moment with her two young children.As a Sound and Reiki practitioner, as well, Rebecca leads group Sound Journeys and holds 1:1 Sound & Reiki Sessions.
