Rachel Nye Sammon, M.S., C-IAYT, E-RYT, is a self-proclaimed yoga nerd. She is deeply passionate about her study of yoga and sharing the practice in a way that is both empowering and accessible for all. As a Yoga Therapist, her goal is to empower individuals to find a place of peace, safety, and wellbeing within themselves to help them live healthier, happier, and more connected lives.“Before yoga, I was living on autopilot. I was disconnected from my body and out of touch with myself. When I discovered yoga and began experiencing huge shifts in my physical and mental health, I knew I wanted to share this practice with others.” Rachel began teaching in 2010 after completing her first 200-hour yoga teacher certification with Pam Guido at Shri Yoga and Wellness Center. Since then, she has continued to learn as much as possible through ongoing trainings and workshops in various yoga modalities, anatomy, meditation, and philosophy including a second 200-hour yoga teacher certification with Sue Elkind and Naime Jezzeny at Dig Yoga, a chair yoga certification with Lakshmi Voelker, and restorative yoga training with Jillian Pransky. In 2020, Rachel completed an M.S. in yoga therapy and a 500-hour teacher certification from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Rachel’s classes weave therapeutic alignment-based pose instruction with meditation, breathing practices, and yogic lifestyle philosophy to empower the whole person on their path towards growth, healing, and transformation.
