There comes a time in every yoga teacher’s/students journey when the desire for depth outweighs the need for yet another training. After years of guiding students and holding space for transformation many seasoned teachers long for something more than content - they long for a truly embodied relationship with yoga's wisdom.
The Becoming is collective space designed specifically for yoga teachers who have taken multiple trainings, but now seek immersion over information, depth over breadth, and embodied experience alongside study.
This is for teachers who want to refine their chanting practice, deepen their connection to yogic philosophy through self enquiry, and community. This is for you if you want to bring these teachings into your daily life and offerings with confidence and presence.
All teachers who have a desire to deepen in devotion are welcome here.

“I discovered Rachel Nokes and The Becoming, part of her Ray of Light offerings, at a time when I was still enjoying teaching yoga but had lost motivation and devotion for my own personal practice.Guided by Rachel’s expertise, wisdom and joyful nature, each sangha session has helped me accept where I am and begin to rebuild my connection with practice. Listening to other members has also been invaluable — their stories resonate deeply with my own.Rachel’s devotion to ancient practices, including mantra and chanting, is truly inspiring. Her ability to integrate these into modern life while fostering a genuine sense of community has been both supportive and uplifting for me.”

"Yoga philosophy wasn’t meant to be read it was meant to be lived. Its truths unfold over time, felt in the body and echoed through sound."
Embody the wisdom of yoga
Yoga philosophy was never meant to be read in books it was designed to be experienced and embodied over time through the resonance of sound
Hello, my name is Rachel Nokes. I've been studying yoga for twenty-five years and sharing yoga for nearly two decades of teaching. Yoga has allowed me to travel and study with my teachers in India for many years. I've also worked as a therapist for twenty-five years, creating a spaces for enquiry, reflection and healing. As we mature, we seek out spaces that nurture us alongside friends with similar depth of experience and curiousity. The becoming is that space, to step back into studentship alongside you sangha. To priorize our continued growth in a nourishing, and nurturing group space.
This is the vision of The Becoming: a space to recieve meaningful transmissions, to move towards embodiment in community. Let's walk this path of becoming to rediscover the clarity, joy, and depth that yoga offers. Together we live and share this wisdom with the world. If this is your dharma, this is your call.
Choose with purpose, invest in your growth, and commit to the transformative power of living yoga philosophy. The teachings hold our infinite potential- step into it into your sacred space with faith. Together, let’s create an embodied practice that aligns with our highest intentions.
