Join Rachel Ishiguro (she/her), IAYT-certified yoga therapist, for a small-group yoga class series or workshop.
Rachel specializes in:
- Yoga for stress and pain reduction
- Improving movement patterns
- Growing your awareness of what your body is telling you so you can be in the driver’s seat of your own healing.
Group yoga classes are offered online or in person at various locations around San Diego. Many of these yoga programs have “pay what you can or sliding scale options in order to make them as accessible as possible.
What people are saying about group yoga classes:
“After a couple of years in your classes and experiencing the results, there is no doubt your “less is more” approach was tremendously beneficial for me. At first I was skeptical that deceptively simple movements would improve my issues. I figured I would do a week of gentle yoga and then move up to the next yoga “level”. Little did I know, there was no need to “move up” to get benefits. I always thought your guidance/suggestions were spot on. The instructions were flexible enough (no pun intended) to work for a studio of folks with diverse needs.”

Honoring the Sun: Therapeutic Movement for the Summer Solstice
June 21, 3:00-4:00pm Pacific Time on Zoom plus recording access
The summer solstice on June 21st is the longest day of the year. It’s often seen as a time to honor the sun through the practice of Surya Namaskar, or sun salutations – and it’s not uncommon to see workshops where 108 of these flowing sequences are practiced in a row. These kinds of practices can be powerfully meditative – and they can also encourage people to ignore the messages from their bodies and push through pain or exhaustion. They also are simply not accessible to many people.
In Honor the Sun, you’ll warm up your body and strengthen the mind-body connection through gentle therapeutic movements. We’ll then explore some fun variations on flowing movements that are loosely based on Surya Namaskar and are accessible to more bodies, with a focus on learning which movements feel most supportive and celebratory in your unique body. Flowing sequences will be done slowly with lots of guidance in adapting for the amount of effort and the pace that you enjoy, and keeping in mind the time of day.
Workshop fee: $22. Class will be recorded (only the teacher video will show on the recording) and will be available to registered students to view online for one week following the workshop. Downloads will not be permitted.
