Thai Chi Chill

Meet Rachel. Rachel is still alive and (mostly) well because of body awareness arts. She has faced chronic illness in the form of long Covid, and mental health struggles which required personal transformation. Her winding explorations include meditation, massage and bodywork therapy, structural integration, tai chi, martial arts, circling, and interpersonal movement practices. She also just loves to close the curtains and dance in her living room with pure abandon! Her day job as a peer mentor in the mental health system has given her increasing depths of compassion and understanding, which she tries to bring to the classroom setting.

“I’m really happy to return to Dragonfly and be in this beautiful space! I want to give people an experience of peace and joy through simple movement and body awareness, passing on the gifts I’ve been given. This stuff has changed me and my life so much. I love to see the light go on for others.”
