Rachel G on Body Alive Yoga and Exotic Eye Tattoo | Ep. 8 Samsara Happy Hour

Rachel Gonzalez is the founder & owner of Body Alive Yoga and Exotic Eye Tattoo. A certified yoga teacher since 2003, she completed her first teacher training at Kalani Honua on the Big Island of Hawaii, where her teacher inspired her to use yoga as a way to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves.
