HI I’M RACHEL MCDONNELL

I’ve been a Registered Massage Therapist for 18 years and currently have a practice at the Pelly Clinic in North Vancouver. I became a Registered Yoga Teacher because I believe strongly that movement, especially intentional movement, is the key to mobility and strength in the short-term and functional independence in the long-term. My goal is modern yoga asana. To move through poses with consciousness to fulfill the intent of traditional yoga but using my experience of modern anatomy and biomechanics. Teaching yoga to children as well as adults is my passion. I continue to practice as a RMT and bring yoga into the fold. I grew up on the North Shore and live in Lynn Valley now, where you will find me out every day with my son and rescue dog Miles on the trails and in the mountains I love. Everything about the North Shore moves me. Literally.
