Ratings and reviews

This book was extremely uplifting and motivating. Following Rachel through her life and reading how she overcame her trials to become the amazing woman she is today as truly inspiring. Highly recommended. I purchased a hard copy from her directly when she was on tour and plan to read multiple times.

This book helped not just with yoga, but to find your better self. I hope to train with Rachel one day. Love this book.

Truly gives the reader a sense of grounding and that no matter what everything will be okay. Thank you Rachel!
