Rivka Eckert:
​
​Yoga Teacher +
​Mat-Based Assisted Stretch

Journey within the Body: 
I grew up exploring all kinds of movement: soccer, dance, hiking, and anything else that got me into my body. But it wasn’t until I stepped into a yoga class that I started to feel deeply connected to myself—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. There was something about the breath, the rhythm, the challenge, and the clarity I felt afterward that kept me coming back to yoga. Over time, yoga became the anchor I return to through life’s transitions—a place to explore, soften, strengthen, and reflect.


Since completing the 200-hour Kripalu Vinyasa certification program in 2018 (teachers: Yoganand Michael Carroll, Erica Arce, and Coby Kozlowski) I have taught over 2,000 hours of classes. I am a trained kid’s yoga teacher (Rainbow Yoga Kids) and have a certificate in Freestyle Therapeutics Mat-Based Therapy (teacher: Wymberly Pfalmer).

​Whether on the body-work mat or yoga mat, my practice is rooted in the care-based process of returning to the wisdom of the body and learning how to listen, again and again. I guide through breathwork, postural sequences, and attention to alignment, often with the question in mind: How can this practice help us build unity within ourselves, our communities, and the world around us?


What You Can Expect From My Classes
Expect thoughtful, breath-centered movement that supports both strength and softness. I love exploring the relationship between mobility and stability, and weaving in playful, intuitive transitions. My classes are open to all levels, and I aim to create a space where everyone feels welcome—where there’s room for challenge, rest, exploration, and self-compassion.
