Welcome

Eco-Entrepreneurship

Three years ago, I began eating high-vibration superfoods from the Amazon rainforest which have had a tremendous impact on my well-being.  I had long been searching for a way to contribute to environmental preservation through my work.  By sharing these superfoods through a unique, sustainable business model, I'm able to do just that.  This green business empowers the inhabitants of the rainforest in ways that not only impact their present lives but also the future sustainability of the Amazon rainforest itself.  Please click on the image below to learn more, or contact me at rachel@odonatayoga.com to schedule a consultation about the products and/or this timely business opportunity.

Yoga

My other passion is sharing the practice of Anusara Yoga®. I teach  Anusara-Inspired^TM yoga classes in Iowa City, Iowa. Please click here for my current class schedule and join me for a fun-filled yoga adventure!

WHY ODONATA YOGA?

The word, "odonata," is the Latin name for the order to which dragonflies belong.  I picked the dragonfly as my totem because it is a symbol of transformation & healing and because, they are the coolest insects ever!  Unlike butterflies, their transformation is a gradual one taking place in many steps.  Most of a dragonfly's life is spent underwater, in fact, in a stage known as a nymph.  In the muddy waters of ponds, nymphs molt several times over several years.  Finally, the nymph crawls up out of the waters and molts one last time, emerging with its beautiful, sparkling wings, to fly like no other winged creature on earth.  My purpose in life is to help others heal and transform, rooting down into the ground of their true being to rise up and soar like beautiful dragonflies.
