A trip a bit further west would be necessary to indulge in some shopping at The Detox Market. We would seek out which location Maison Modulare was doing their latest pop-up and we would check that out for some shopping. We would practice yoga outdoors at Roam’s Frogtown location. I have a few favorite galleries downtown so we would definitely swing by Baert Gallery as well as OTI. We’d get up early one morning and hike the back trails of Griffith Park. The Broad and lunch or dinner at Sushi Gen would be a must. If a best friend came for a post-pandemic visit, I would take them to several coffee shops including Go Get Em Tiger Highland Park and Verve in the Arts District. Where would you take them?

I’m not selling some spiritual bypassing version of enlightenment dressed up in trendy yoga clothes populating a saturated social media feed. The experience my students/clients have is of the utmost importance to me. This business I run is a part of a sacred legacy. I am proud of the integrity of my classes and the care with which I interact with my students. I have studied extensively and continue to study. I take great pride in how deeply I care about my students and about the legacy of the practice I teach. What should our readers know about your business? Now every teacher is doing this and how great is that! I set out to condense the philosophy and posture practice I taught in long form in person classes into short practices that could be done anywhere, anytime. Having a home practice was one step closer to actualizing that goal. Part of the mission was to inspire people to move their practice off their mat into their lives. I started my online yoga business pre-pandemic. Hi RACHEL Grant, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
