E-RYT500, Ayurveda Health Counselor, Thai Yoga Practitioner

Hi, I’m Rachael harper, holistic wellness Practitioner and mental health advocate. As a movement + mobility specialist, I have been teaching yoga since 2010 and providing 1:1 Thai Yoga stretching + Energy healing since 2011. In 2019 I integrated personalized health coaching to my offerings. i work with people from all walks of life with various needs, specializing in complimentary support for clients living with neurodivergence, anxiety, and / or mental health challenges. In 2020, I became the Program coordinator for the Joyful Belly College of Ayurvedic Diet & Digestion.

Since 2010, I have completed thousands of hours of training in various styles of yoga and related movement modalities, all of which work together to inform my personal teaching style. My movement-based classes are accessibly challenging and mindfully-paced with great emphasis on breath, spinal alignment, core connection, and self-awareness. Class rhythms evolve with the changing seasons in alignment with the teachings of Ayurveda. From 2013-2024 I owned and facilitated On Track Yoga studio with a beautiful, inclusive community until passing the torch in 2024. I currently teach online and in various in-person locations including my own small office and micro-studio in downtown Lincolnton, NC. (Yoga Alliance, E-RYT500, CEP)

In 2019 I was certified as an Ayurveda Health Counselor by the Joyful Belly College of Ayurvedic Diet & Digestion (Asheville, NC). In 2020, I began working with the college as Program Director, where I manage all aspects of the certification programs, co-create curriculum, and act as lead student / admissions advisor.

Working closely with individuals and small groups is my true passion. I believe in the healing power of authentic and meaningful connection. I love introducing people to yoga for the first time as well as addressing the specific needs of any level of student through private / small group instruction or the hands-on healing practice of Thai yoga. For folks ready to explore deeper transformation and self-healing I am also pleased to offer personalized health coaching based largely on the principles of biocharacteristics-based systems like Ayurveda.

As your practitioner, teacher, and coach, my mission is to give you the tools you need for your optimal wellness. Together we’ll co-create and implement a plan to outline and achieve your wellness goals in a way that is accessible and authentic to you. As your friend and wellness partner I'm here to help you feel supported and at ease, encourage accountability, confidence, self acceptance, and inspire you to live and practice with integrity, compassion, authenticity, and more joy! -
