Dunedin Yoga Teacher: Rachel Dalley
It’s been great moving down to Dunedin because I’ve had the opportunity to meet a whole new crew of yoga teachers. Rachel is one of those teachers. She first got interested in yoga at the young age of 14 years, but didn’t feel comfortable in her first class so it was many years before she went back. Now, a few decades later, Rachel...
