Personalized instruction to refine alignment, movement and technique, building a stronger, more precise practice.
Somatic yoga is a mindful, body-aware practice built around intentional movement, breath and guided awareness. It encourages you to move with greater attention, release unnecessary tension and develop a deeper connection with your body.
The practice combines functional alignment, mobility, strength and nervous-system regulation, with an emphasis on understanding how your body moves rather than simply moving through poses.
The emphasis is on practicing each posture with intention and precision, understanding proper alignment, and developing the strength, control and body awareness to move correctly through the practice.
Rinell is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher with additional training in trauma-informed yoga, Yoga Nidra and meditation. She has maintained a dedicated personal yoga practice since 2013 and has taught individuals and groups in private, clinical and community settings.
Her teaching combines somatic movement with a strong emphasis on alignment, precision and body awareness. She guides students to understand each posture, develop strength and mobility, and move with greater control and intention.
Her classes are focused and purposeful. Students are encouraged to work fully within each posture, with close attention to form, rather than simply moving through a sequence. The aim is to build precision, confidence and a deeper understanding of the practice over time.

“For the first time, being exposed to yoga, I found relief in the parts of my body that had been hurting for years.” -C.P
