TESTIMONIAL
"Using medical therapeutic yoga, Raquel was able to quickly single in on my unique muscle imbalances and work with me to find exercises and poses that helped to relieve my pain and to strengthen my overall stability. She never gives up on trying to find the right pose or wording to help me discover and use the right muscles. She is exceptionally good at modifying exercises just for me so that I can make progress and build up to where I need to be to reach my goals." - Toria Trendler
