Hello, nice to meet you! My name is Rachel Wintenburg Cheng, and I am passionate about creating empowering and dignifying spaces for all people. I am an asset-based community development practitioner, and I have spent my entire career coming alongside community members who seek change and good for themselves and their communities.

​

I lead fieldwork and residency at Resilient Communities Center based in Metro Atlanta. In my work with refugee and immigrant populations, I teach both Embodiment Coaching and the weekly Group Movement classes.

​

I came to this work through my own treatment for trauma-related symptoms, where I began to understand how deeply trauma registers in the body as well as the mind. As a survivor of trauma and abuse, I understand deeply how our stories of harm live in our bodies, and that approaches to healing must be embodied and holistic. This is why I believe that yoga can be a conduit for healing.

 

I combine yoga with trauma-informed coaching so that the mind, body, and nervous system work in unison towards calm and freedom. Every package is contextualized based on each person's history, their current circumstances, and oriented towards future goals of health and wellbeing. Every session will be tailored to meet each person's needs and comfort.
