About this trip

The Journey to tranquility

In this weeklong retreat, we will use the tools of Iyengar yoga to journey through the 8 limbs of yoga. These are a set of practices that bring harmony within ourselves and the world around us. This week will be a gift to ourselves to find ease in body through asana, to quiet mind with pranayama and to reconnect to our passions with poetry and community.

Rahel Wasserfall

PhD and CIYT

French born, trained anthropologist with a PhD from Hebrew University, Jerusalem. With a background spanning academia, training, teaching, research, curriculum design, and program evaluation, Rahel brings a depth of experience to all aspects of her work. She earned her Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher (CIYT) credential in 2015 and completed the second-level assessment in 2019. She currently teaches classes and workshops at Artemis Yoga in Watertown, MA, as well as internationally.

Her approach to yoga is rooted in the belief that personal transformation is essential to creating meaningful change in the world. Through disciplined practice, yoga offers the tools to confront both our limitations and potential, helping us become more compassionate, accepting, and self-aware. It teaches us to discern what can be changed, what cannot, and how to live with wisdom and clarity, starting with the body and mind in the present moment.
