Chi-Town Shakti
Rachel Levi, RYT 200
About Rachel Levi, RYT 200:
Hatha yoga helped Rachel regain her equilibrium after a “Diet Coke and nicotine-fueled tilt-a whirl late adolescence.” Within months of starting her practice, she recognized the multi-dimensional benefits of yoga: peace of mind, enhanced energy, and an inner wellspring of gratitude.
Downward dogs and pigeon poses accompanied Rachel as she completed her undergraduate degree, taught high school English, studied the Humanities at the University of Chicago, and undertook a glamorous stint as a temporary nanny. Shortly after starting classes at Chi-Town Shakti, Rachel felt an intense connection to this new neighborhood studio. In the spring of 2009, she interned for Chi-Town; the process transformed her concept of yoga. Though the glories of practice may include fitness and stress-relief, it is yoga’s power to facilitate profound spiritual growth that continues to inspire her. In July of 2009, Rachel completed her 200 hour HYTT certification under the tutelage of Bhakti, Gita and Akaram.
Now, as yoga teacher, she encourages a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere in her classes. In her instruction, she balances careful attendance to principles of alignment with invitations for students to practice in a way that serves each individual’s unique needs. It is Rachel’s sincere pleasure to end each class with the traditional yogic salute “the highest potential in me, honors the highest potential in you.”
