Movement saved her life. If nothing else, that is what Rachna Patel wants you to take away from our conversation. Just. Keep. Moving. Her journey to finding her purpose as a YLT Yoga Coach, movement educator and founder of Yogality, takes her across continents and through several personal and professional identities.

These shifts often placed her in conflict with the expectations of those around her, including her family and her Indian culture. Staying true to herself has been no easy task. But as her incredible birth story illustrates, she is a fighter with movement in her blood.

We discuss how movement has been Rachna’s constant companion, source of comfort and connection to her inner voice AND her discovery that every experience she had along the way prepared her for the moment when she connected with your life’s purpose and stepped into her power.
