- Welcome to Rachael Whitworth
Rachael is the Co-Owner and Director of the Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training program at Love Defeats Fear Yoga in Newport, RI. She is an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher, trained in Vinyasa, Yin Yoga & Meditation, Restorative, Kundalini & Ayurveda, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and she recently completed an additional 300-hour training in Ashtanga & Vinyasa Flow in Rishikesh, India.
She is also a Reiki Master in the Usui Holy Fire and Karuna Traditions. She endeavors to meld breath, body, and mind on the mat, encouraging students to consciously connect with this moment in time. Rachael’s practice is cultivated on the belief that the abilities we develop on our mat allow us to be more fully present and less reactive to our experiences in our daily lives. She hopes to bring curiosity, lightness, and a sense of playfulness to these deeply meditative and transformative practices.
Rachael has a Master’s degree in Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology from the University of West Georgia, where she studied the interplay of psychology with Buddhism and Mindfulness in achieving self-transformation.
