Meet MARIA & RACHEL
Maria
A retired Lawyer, and full time Yogi, Maria began her yoga practice in 2010, and became certified to lead in 2017. Originally from Brooklyn, New York (Go Yankees!), from a tight knit family, yoga has provided Maria with a sense of community that she didn't think was possible when she moved to Miami in 2015.
Designed for yogis of all levels, her classes are filled with creative and unexpected sequencing set to a fun and energetic playlist (think old school throwbacks). Focusing on fun over form, she encourages yogis to listen to their own bodies and use their breath as a way to quiet their minds through movement.
Rachel
Rachel is a master instructor at SoulCycle and creator of CTS by Rachel. She is a mama and wife, originally from North Carolina, claiming a bit of NYC after living in Brooklyn for 7 years, and currently living the sunny life in Miami, FL.
While 28 weeks pregnant and during COVID-19 (and SoulCycle closed), Rachel had to find a way to keep the community she built at SoulCycle engaged. This is how she created her own fitness brand: Cardio Tone Sculpt by Rachel. She taught online through the pandemic and created a community bigger then she would have ever thought. Rachel believes movement is medicine and sharing her love for music and sweat is her passion. CTS is for all levels, you just have to be open to trying!
