I like the high flyers just as much as those with special needs and beginners alike. Yoga really is for everyone.” She also holds a Kids’ Yoga certificate and has gone through the Centering Youth training.

When asked about her favorite yoga pose, Rebecca says, “I love to flip my dog! I have heard it called ‘Wild Thing,’ and I like it cause it’s freeing and super fun.” She says of her least favorite pose: “Warrior Three gets me every time!” Rebecca said her favorite food is “Cauliflower Soup – it’s so easy and so good.” See below for recipe! rebecca galla in wild thing

Rebecca’s personal mission is to help people see the healing aspects of Yoga and how it can help us all feel better in our daily lives.
