I had never done yoga before. Raquel made me feel at ease and calm during my sessions. The way she described the step by step instructions as well as the reasoning and meaning behind the moves was not only educational but made it easy and fun to learn. In my first few sessions I sweated more than I ever have during weight or cardio workouts. When I was done I felt refreshed and renewed. The days following my sessions I am more conscious of my posture. I am enjoying learning the art of yoga while getting a fantastic workout in the process. Raquel's patience, knowledge and love for yoga make it an extremely enjoyable experience. ~ Beth

I have taken Yoga at a number of places and from many different instructors and none seem to be as sensitive to individual needs as Raquel. Her genuine commitment to sharing the practice of yoga is inspiring and enlightening. She has an amazing talent of creating challenging yet enjoyable yoga classes and is always patient and encouraging with students who are at all different levels.  Her classes are never boring and flow really well from one pose to the next.  Her warm personality, kindness, and enthusiasm for yoga are indeed infectious.~ Tawnya

As a high school varsity girls water polo coach, I am always looking for ways to improve the strength, flexibility and conditioning of my players. When I turned to Raquel Otis for assistance, she took my players to a whole new level in their endurance and flexibility. The girls absolutely loved the yoga sessions and how they helped keep them loose, in shape, injury free and raised their level of discipline. The core work was incredible as well. The girls would often post on social media the positive experience they had with these yoga sessions. This in itself is a testimonial to Raquel’s yoga program. ~ Jeff

Raquel is such a nice, caring, and knowledgeable yoga instructor. She takes the time to make sure that I am doing each pose correct so that it benefits me best and with my neck injury she customizes the poses so that I am safe and can continue to practice. She has also taught me the Melt Method to help me relax and better control my headaches. I love that she is always so calm and her voice is so soothing and relaxing that I feel at ease. ~ Gianna

Raquel was the first person I did an official yoga class with. It was the most relaxing thing I had ever done, I felt like I had no problems in my life and every muscle in my body was relaxed. Her voice is just so soothing and helps relax you more. We ended our time together in Corpse Pose – I fell asleep. I recommend Raquel’s yoga to experienced and inexperienced yoga students. ~ Madison

I have been a student of yoga since 2002. Fortunately, I have had some excellent teachers and Raquel is one of the finest. Her attention to each student’s needs, and her dedication to the philosophy and practice of yoga are inspiring. Raquel invites each of us to experience balance in our lives through breathing, poses, and mindfulness during our time together. ~ Mary
