The Yoga Connection

A meaningful Yoga practice cultivates a deep sense of connection and wholeness. The breath flows with movement, the body integrates as one, and the mind, emotions, and spirit begin to harmonize. The left and right sides, upper and lower body, front and back gradually come into balance, until the entire being resonates with a sense of unity, ease, and quiet joy.

From this place of inner coherence, we naturally expand beyond ourselves into a deeper connection with others and the world around us. Empathy and compassion arise organically, allowing us to become more present, open, and generous in our lives. These qualities are not forced, but emerge as the natural expression of a consistent, holistic yoga practice.

Our bodies are living maps, holding the imprint of our life experiences. Yoga, therefore, is most effective when it is attuned to the individual, supporting us in understanding and working with our own unique patterns. The breath is central to this process, initiating healing from within and bridging the connection between body, mind, and soul.

In Hebrew, Neshima (breath) and Neshama (soul) share the same root, with the letter Yud symbolizing the Divine: נשימה = נשמה + י. Through conscious breathing, we reconnect to this deeper essence within us. A dedicated practice that honors the breath becomes a pathway toward greater vitality, awareness, and the unfolding of our highest potential.

Healing the Body-Mind As An Integrated Unit

Restorative Healing Sessions

I offer deeply nurturing, one-on-one healing sessions designed to restore balance, release held tension, and reconnect you with your body’s natural intelligence and vitality. Each session is a spacious, intuitive experience, tailored to your unique needs and guided by years of practice in both Yoga and holistic healing arts.

The Rosen Method
A subtle and profound approach based on the understanding that the body holds unprocessed emotional experiences, often expressed as chronic tension or restriction. Through gentle, attentive touch and compassionate verbal reflection, unconscious holding patterns are brought into awareness and allowed to soften. As the body releases, breath deepens, the nervous system settles, and a natural sense of openness and ease begins to emerge. This work can support relief from trauma, stress, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, and chronic pain.

Integrated Healing Treatments
A deeply restorative, hands-on therapy that weaves together a range of modalities to support the whole person. Each session meets you where you are, addressing not only physical discomfort but also emotional and energetic layers. Techniques may include shiatsu, therapeutic massage, trigger-point therapy, polarity work, breathwork and facilitated stretching.  The result is often a profound sense of relaxation, increased energy, greater fluidity in the body, and an overall feeling of being held and renewed.

Life Alignment Sessions
Life Alignment is a refined and intuitive healing system that works through the body’s energy field, emotions, and subconscious patterns to reveal and release the root causes of imbalance. Through muscle testing and focused awareness, we access what is ready to shift, supporting deep realignment on physical, emotional, and energetic levels. These sessions often bring clarity, lightness, and a renewed sense of direction and connection to self.
This is a 90-minute insightful and transformative journey inward.  

Session Length and Investment
60 minutes 350 NIS
75 minutes 400 NIS
90 minutes 420 NIS

Sessions are held in a tranquil setting in Baka, Jerusalem.

 

My Story

I discovered Yoga in the 1980s as a way to boost my energy, balance my hormones, and support my academic focus, but it soon became a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual growth. Through breath and asana, I learned to create space in the body, opening the heart and mind, and cultivating presence and intention. This ongoing practice continues to deepen the way I experience myself and the world.

I received my teaching certification in the first Vijnana Yoga Teacher Training with Orit Sen-Gupta at the Wingate Institute, and have continued my studies in Vini Yoga and Yoga Therapy in Seattle, as well as classical yoga and meditation with teachers in Rishikesh, Pune, and Gangotri, India. Over the years, I have also trained in a range of holistic healing modalities, including Massage Therapy, Shiatsu, Reiki, the Rosen Method, and Life Alignment. Integrating these approaches allows me to offer a deeply layered experience in both group classes and one-on-one sessions.

For over 30 years, I have had the privilege of working with people of all ages and stages of life; from prenatal and postnatal women to children, teens, adults, seniors, and those with special needs. My background in drama and creative movement shapes a teaching style that is both deep and attentive, while also playful and creative.

To me, Yoga is far more than a physical practice. It is a path to vitality, balance, and wholeness. My intention is to guide others in reconnecting with this innate potential within themselves.

I am the mother of two adult children and live in Jerusalem, Israel. My daily practice is my sanctuary, supporting me to stay grounded, open, and connected in an ever-changing world.

 

Testimonials

"Rachel's introductory yoga class changed my life. In six short months, I went from being unable to sit on the floor comfortably without multiple blankets to doing actual yoga poses competently and with confidence. I feel more relaxed and have lost 10 lbs and a dress size."
Sharon Deitch, Jerusalem, May 2015
"I love doing yoga with Rachel. She is a patient, encouraging teacher. Her classes are wonderful, but I mostly do private yoga with her. I have been practicing yoga with Rachel for a year now and she has me doing things I never thought I was capable of. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone who wants to practice yoga either privately or in her classes."

"Working with Rachel has been such a gift! I feel that I have learned how to deal with my emotions in my body, at the source, rather than a spiraling fashion of the mind. I feel that the healing work she helped me with was truly trans-formative and I cannot thank her enough. She is truly gifted at helping you see and feel the deeper layers of healing work that are trapped within the body. Thank you for helping me connect to the vitality that is within me."

Naomi Zelwer
During my month visit to Jerusalem this July, 2019, I was blessed in finding Rachel to guide me on healing and yoga practice during my stay. Having been enveloped by her essence via her website while looking for a yoga instructor prior to my trip when in the States, I felt drawn to her immediately. I attended classes twice a week throughout the month of July and can only say that Rachel has a deep spiritual sense that she brings to her yoga instruction bridging conscious awareness of the breathe while moving in a holistic and expansive way. Rachel has skill breaking down movements to make them accessible and always presents modifications to meet everyone where they are. I was able to feel healing, restoration and physical growth during each class. I will greatly miss Rachel’s sincere, heartfelt, and expert teaching as I return to the States.
Cheryl Shachaf
My gratitude to Rachel and her knowledge and gentle, encouraging teaching style cannot be contained in these few words. From the moment I saw her website while in the US looking for a yoga teacher for my upcoming visit to Jerusalem, I felt her deeper spiritual and human understanding. Throughout my month stay, I felt transformed with each class I took. Rachel has the ability to accommodate all, bring the breathe to a peaceful state while incorporating movements that support flexibility, strength, endurance, and calm. I found healing and solid grounding during her classes that sustained me throughout my stay here. I will deeply miss her teaching when I return to the States.
Cheryl S.
I have been in Rachel's class for over a year and it has had a transformative impact on me. I began as a skeptic, doubting the possibility that yoga could address physical ailments and problems with stress that I was dealing with at the time. But I have seen from the first class the therapeutic value of yoga at the hands of a master teacher such as Rachel. She is sensitive to the limitations of each of the students and addresses our physical and spiritual needs in a deft manner. I highly recommend the class for everyone!
Ari Ackerman
I came to Rachel vexed by neck pain and stiffness, mostly on the right side. Weekly massages seemed to have no affect on the problem and I started worrying that maybe I had a pinched nerve or disc slippage. Rachel spent a generous hour and a half teaching me simple techniques on how to stretch my body and neck. Some of these were easier than others, but I managed to remember a handful that really helped. Most importantly, Rachel’s probing questions lead us to discover that a particular exercise I was doing in the gym was stressing my neck and shoulders. So I stopped doing that exercise, and continued stretching my neck in the way she taught me. Within ten days I felt a marked improvement with little or no pain. Rachel not only knows her stuff, but her attentive and caring nature is big part of the healing process.
Boaz Davidoff
Rachel’s yoga is divine. It’s not only about the poses but also about the breath and mediation and connecting to your inner spirit.
Chana B.
Rachel is an extremely experienced yoga teacher I have been taking yoga for over 10 years and she is by far the best teacher I’ve had. She is creative, spiritual, and sensitive to individual needs. She truly knows how adapt her classes to a wide variety of needs. I recommend her classes to anyone interested in deepening their mind body connection through Yoga .
Miri shaaltiel
It is an honor to publicly thank Rachel for her commitment to making my yoga practice that more meaningful and fulfilling. Just this morning, we did an hour and a half practice that took us through a gradual but challenging series of poses that included breathing, mediating, twisting, stretching, strengthening, balancing and more. It's been said that true essential healing is so subtle you don't realize the shift. Rachel's yoga is so subtle that you don't realize she's taking you higher and deeper with each pose. May G/d bless you Rachel with many many years of health and healing.
