Yoga for the Divine in you!

If you've got back, neck, shoulder, hip or knee injuries and you're in Panama City, you should be doing yoga therapy with Yoga Divina. I did physical therapy for 3 years and Rachel Divine has done more in 3 months to heal me and make my body work better. Stop making excuses and go get healed!

 "After 25 years of migraines and back-to-back car accidents, one yoga class with Rachel eliminated my migraines—and I'm able to lay on my back pain free!"

A one line testimonial would never do justice for the effectiveness - at all levels - of Rachel's yoga therapy.  I see her for pain and injury management, flexibility and general well being and I have seen immediate and amazing results via her very personalized and fun sessions  - including lower glucose levels for my Type 1 diabetes.  I say run, don't walk to a series of Rachel's yoga therapy sessions!

Rachel caught me drooling.. I had no idea i was soo relaxed!
She really knows what she is doing. She is entertaining and the round about way she does gets me to move amazes me. 

Chris D.

"I had an awkward fall in the shower one Monday morning and had lower back pain for a month.
I went to Rachel's studio where she spent 90 minutes with me doing yoga stretches for the lower back. The exercise did not hurt at all. My back felt looser after the class. I noticed the difference right away. I slept that night in comfort. I rolled out of bed the next morning with no pain at all and have not experienced any since."

Thank you, Rachel,

I have a frozen shoulders, a pulled hamstring and get frequent massages and chiropractic adjustments in the states - so I was thrilled to find and work with Rachel this year while I was in Panama.  Her body work is exceptional!!! I preferred taking advantage of her private sessions where she adeptly focused on my specific issues in sessions that were fun, relaxing and invigorating.  Rachel's refreshing style and lovely studio adds a lot to the experience but it is her expertise and range of skills that made my time with her most productive.  In only one session she helped me regain incredible range of motion in my shoulders - which I have been working on for months with therapists in the states without the kind of results I experienced with her.  By the end of my sessions I could literally feel a rush of blood and increased circulation in my feet and shoulders.   She is by far the most effective therapist I have worked with to target specific problem areas and increase my overall well-being.  Now, I just have to figure out how to clone her!!!

Rachel makes yoga lessons fun and gives individual attention to each person. Since I have Parkinson's, it was important that I keep myself from stiffening up and turning into stone. I am finding that yoga can help me to really stretch out muscles that have tightened up over the years. It's never too late to start  yoga. I have always been a stiff person, even when I was young. But, now, after eight years with Parkinson's, I was amazed to find that yoga therapy can still help me feel much better.

"I always feel better physically and emotionally after working with you.  The exercise for my toes was especially great.  I could feel the circulation increasing in my usually cold and sometimes numb feet immediately and they still feel alive over an hour later.  We look forward to working with you for a long time, as we get younger here in Panama."

Paul K.

"Yoga gives me energy and helps me quiet the mind in stressful times. Rachel's liveliness always leads to an entertaining class."

Kim D.

"It was a wonderful experience for a prenatal yoga class. It was the first time in 3½ months that I slept all night. My belly and baby changed shape after that class. I love how my belly looks now—it looks cute to me and my husband."

My hand and arm feel Flippin great!

Sam F. 

"Rachel is a wealth of yoga knowledge, and she uses her specialized training to bring healing and therapeutic yoga to her clients. She has an almost psychic ability in addressing specific issues. For me, it was a shoulder injury. Even after just two sessions, I noticed a huge difference in my mobility."

Linda F.

"Rachel's classes are an ass-kicking good time."

Rachel is extremely knowledgeable and talented in her chosen field. Anyone would benefit from the uplifting experience of her tutoring and therapeutic instruction in both yoga and living life to it’s fullest. Rachel’s innate gift of life has been and continues to be a very positive and uplifting influence in my life.

Rachel is the best Yoga teacher I have ever had. She helped me heal after a bike accident and to this date I have no pain. Your mantra’s helped me more than you will ever know. I miss my weekly classes. The fun and healing we had all in a hour I wont forget, know I just need to get down to Panama for another class. Everyone and anyone that is open to trying yoga then you must use Rachel!

Meranda B.

I have practiced yoga for about 8 years and when I had one of Rachel's  classes I was amazed of how good and different her class is. Lots of yummm which helps to get rid of the pain and lots of breathing.
Yoga Divina is the best!
Thanks Rachel for sharing your energy and experience with me.

I am a masseuse and I am on my feet and the end of the day my back hurts. Rachel showed me one pose that she said should help. The next morning I woke up at 4am and i thought of this pose. I did it as Rachel showed me and for he first time in months, I have no back pain! Thank you Rachel.

Querida Rachel:
 
Desde hace tiempo he querido enviarte esta pequeña nota, para agradecerte toda la dedicación y apoyo que me brindaste, para recuperarme de mi cáncer de mama.
 
Si te acuerdas, como tratatiento preventivo después de la operación, me habián recetado el medicamento Tamoxifeno por 5 años, al cual yo me rehusé a tomarlo por sus efectos secundarios y en su lugar busqué un tratamiento alternativo para combatirlo y fue cuando decidí hacer yoga, cambiar mi dieta y sobretodo controlar el stress, de forma natural.
 
Sin embargo, considero que fue el yoga, el que logró balancearme esa ansiedad que me causaba el stress, llevándome a un nivel de paz y tranquilidad conmigo misma y fui muy afortunada también de haberte encontrado y que tus conocimientos de yoga terapeútico los pudieras aplicar en mi persona.  Lo que no me tiene muy contenta, es que te hayas ido para Panamá y no he encontrado una instructora de yoga, hasta la fecha, que te pueda sustituir.
 
Por otro lado, me siento muy satisfecha, después de 2 años de la terapia con yoga, los doctores me dieron de alta y yo super contenta, porque pudimos comprobar los efectos de sanación que tiene el yoga y de una manera totalmente natural.
 
Muchas gracias Rachel por toda tu ayuda, espero planear un pequeño viaje a Panamá próximamente y que podamos hacer yoga nuevamente!!!
 
Un gran abrazo,
 
Claudia

Dear Rachel:
 
I have long wanted to send you this short note to thank all the dedication and support given to me to recover from my breast cancer.
 
If you remember, as a preventive tratamiento after surgery, I had been prescribed the drug tamoxifen for 5 years, which I refused to take because of side effects and instead sought an alternative treatment to combat it was when I decided to do yoga, change my diet and overall manage stress, naturally.
 
However, I think it was yoga, which they manage the anxiety that caused me stress, led to a level of peace and quiet with myself and I was also fortunate to have found you and your knowledge of yoga therapist could apply me. What I do not have very happy, is that you are gone to Panama and have not found a yoga instructor, to date, you can substitute.
 
On the other hand, I feel very satisfied after 2 years of therapy with yoga, the doctors gave me high and I so happy, because we saw the healing effects of yoga and is a completely natural way.
 
Rachel thank you very much for your help, I hope to plan a little trip to Panama soon and we can do yoga again!
 
A big hug,
 
Claudia

Without hesitation I highly recommend Rachel Divine and her program of Yoga Therapy.
 
I have had 8 sessions with her, and I have experienced significant improvements.
 
My purposes for undertaking the therapy were twofold:  improvement in my posture/carriage, and second increased flexibility for my golf game.
 
Rachel’s one-on-one hourly sessions (twice a week for me) were intense sessions that I describe as a combination of yoga, stretching and body positional awareness.
 
She fully devotes her entire attention to leading me through yoga positions, stretching and hands-on corrections to achieve results.
 
I now find myself standing much more erect and correcting myself consciously (and unconsciously).
 
Twice during the past two weeks I have been asked … out-of-the-blue … whether I have lost weight!
 
No I have not nor am I overweight, but by standing much more erect (slumping less)  I appear taller and project a longer body line.
 
I am now much more aware not only of my own body and posture but others as well.
 
If anyone is concerned with these issues, I provide my endorsement for Rachel Divine and her skill, drive, devotion and energy.
