Rachel Lynn began practicing yoga in 2013, as a way to find solace during her university studies. She quickly fell in love with the practice and explored many different types of yoga. Under the guidance of a well-rounded yoga teacher training at Caribe Yoga Academy, Rachel found her dharma by becoming a registered yoga teacher in 2018. She spent several years living on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, where she taught and enjoyed the abundance of the rainforest, which was a main inspiration for her movement practices. Rachel now lives in Miami Beach, Florida, where she curates unique wellness events in the local community, and guides yoga classes. Rachel enjoys teaching powerful vinyasa with creative transitions. On the other hand, she also loves leading a slow and mindful yin practice. Rachel’s classes are infused with peace, love, mindfulness, and intention. Join her on the mat for a journey inward, good music is guaranteed!
My love of travel and the desire to share the magic of exploration inspired me to begin hosting my own retreats. I have visited 20+ countries on my own. Solo travel gave me the skills I needed to be a tour guide, leader, and open-minded soul with a welcoming spirit. I am a master planner of all the logistics it takes to embark on a new journey in a foreign place. Uplift Retreats by Rachel Lynn brings together like-minded individuals to scenic destinations.
