About Us

Raquel

Raquel "Raqi" (pronounced Rocky) began her yoga practice in 2007 and received her 500-hour yoga certification through the Himalayan Institute and her 200-hr YTT certification through Rubber Soul's Adventure Club. She has completed the Warriors at Ease Level 2 Trauma Sensitive Yoga certification and earned a certificate in Holistic Nutrition. Her teaching style leans toward gentle yoga with a strength emphasis and seated mindfulness. Her hope for practitioners is to find an enhanced ease and breath both on and off their yoga mats. Raqi wears many hats: retired U.S. Army combat veteran, cancer survivor, mostly vegan, mom, wife, small group leader, prayer warrior, dog lover, full-time "encourager"... and she's been seen juggling on her yoga mat. She enjoys riding motorcycles with her husband-Dave, walking her dog-Radar, visiting family & friends, & considers herself a lifelong learner.

Cheri

Cheri is one of our in-house Yoga Instructors. Cheri was a born yogi. At least that is what she and her family think. Before she even took an official class she was rolling around on the floor and stretching her body in all sorts of ways. She has always been concerned for others' well being, people, animals, and the environment. In 2022 she completed her 200-hour YTT (yoga teacher training). She is passionate about introducing all people to yoga to include poses, philosophy, breath, and meditation practices. Cheri believes that practicing yoga can change the world for the better. She enjoys spending time with her family, friends, her dogs, being outdoors, cooking, reading, and watching movies. Now that she is about to be an empty nester, she will add travel to that list!
