Rachel Goldberg
Rachel Goldberg is a certified Yoga instructor for the Rittenhouse Women’s Wellness Center. She received her certification from The YogaLife Institute in Devon, Pa. Ms. Goldberg teaches Hatha yoga and is also experienced in using Yoga as a type of therapy.
She feels Yoga is a way of healing: stretching open what has been closed, expanding where there has been tension, uniting what has been separated, and strengthening what has been weakened. During Ms. Goldberg’s training, she learned the comprehensive understanding of Yoga and cemented her practice of Yoga as a lifestyle, not just a work-out. Studying Classical Yoga required reading, practicing, and experiencing Yoga’s physical aspects, the spiritual components of the ancient philosophy, pranayama and meditation. Ms. Goldberg hopes to bring the same joy and comfort she experiences through yoga to her patients at the Rittenhouse Women’s Wellness Center.
