Vancouver Island Yoga School

Rachel Dean

Rachel has always been drawn to the physical aspects of yoga in terms of stretching and moving the body. However, her true passion for yoga began when she started to experience the benefits of meditation and the spiritual aspects of yoga. Rachel completed her 200-hour YTT in the winter of 2018 with Deborah Carruthers at Harmony Yoga.

Through yoga, Rachel has learned to be more self-compassionate; that life, like yoga, is a practice; that everything has a season; and how to use the breath to slow the monkey mind and to connect to her true self.

Rachel’s yoga training lends well to her “day job” as a practicing Kinesiologist, working with clients who have been in motor vehicles accidents. When not working in rehabilitation or flowing on the yoga mat, Rachel enjoys hiking and exploring our amazing Island with her two wonderful young boys.
