✨TEACHER SPOTLIGHT: RAELENE SWORE ✨
We’re shining the spotlight on Raelene Swore, a beloved part of our yoga community for nearly 10 years of teaching yoga. 🧘♀️
Raelene’s favorite practice to teach?
🏠🎶 House Yoga! It brings out her playful, free side and reminds us that yoga can be joyful, expressive, and FUN.
Her favorite practice to take?
🔥 Ashtanga — her first love.
And when it comes to favorite poses, she’s currently loving Garudasana (Eagle Pose) and has recently discovered a serious appreciation for the challenge of Astavakrasana (Eight-Angle Pose). 💪
But for Raelene, yoga is about so much more than the poses.
“I teach because yoga makes me a better human. If I can offer that to another person, I create a positive loop within my community.”
Yoga is where Raelene processes, shows up for herself, and reconnects with herself — both on and off the mat. ❤️
Outside of yoga, Raelene is a proud mom of two amazing kids: Stella, a freshman at Cornell University, and Cielo, a senior at Kennedy High School. 🫶
📚 Favorite books? She can’t choose just one!

Each one has served a different purpose at different points in her life.
