" I love Yogavita.org, in particular, Rachel who has worked with the Virginia Hospital Center for over 2 years. Her prenatal yoga classes are consistently full, with nothing but raves from the participants. Rachel connects with the women, and inspires them with her energy and passion. Her deep knowledge of yoga and wellness has helped many women experience an easier childbirth & recovery process –especially the women who take consecutive sessions. Not only is she a pleasure, but she is extremely reliable! As manager of the community wellness classes, I very much appreciate being able to count on her & her company."

" I became pregnant with my first baby...and knew that I would need to start putting "me" first, for the sake of the tiny little person growing inside me...it was important to me to keep active throughout my pregnancy, but couldn't do the high impact sports I was used to doing....and found YogaVita.org right near my work in Tysons. When I met Rachel, I knew it was the right place for me! The Wednesday night classes were my little oasis in an increasingly hectic world. I would be looking forward to seeing Rachel and the other pregnant ladies and just compare how our bodies and lives were changing. I soon found out that the yoga poses and breathing exercises really helped me get centered. I felt stronger and more relaxed after each class. During labor, I practiced the breathing exercises I learned in my prenatal class, my yoga breaths (and moans). I really believe using these techniques caused me to have less pain as a result. I would highly recommend (and have recommended) YogaVita.org to other pregnant ladies."

"I started Rachel's prenatal yoga class when I was about 20 weeks pregnant and continued it until I was a few days overdue. I looked forward to her class and loved every minute of it. I felt SO good after her class - all my aches and pains of pregnancy melted away. I developed increased flexibility, strength and overall relaxation from Rachel's class. I felt great during my pregnancy mostly due to this prenatal yoga class. Rachel also has a wonderful sense of humor and made the class a great deal of fun."

"Prenatal Yoga kept me strong and back pain free throughout my pregnancy. The yoga breath helped me through the natural labor I had hoped for. Practicing this type of breathing on a weekly basis and using it to work through the more difficult poses each week prepared me for getting through the contractions and staying relaxed. I used Rachel’s relaxation techniques to think about the contractions like waves or the tides, it helped me tremendously."
