Rachel Drolett

 A year ago, Rachel and her husband Chris were burnt out from their corporate careers in the tech industry. With layoffs happening that was the catalyst they needed to embark on a new adventure. Yoga was something they loved doing together, so it was an easy decision when they found Xponential Fitness and its yoga brand, YogaSix. Rachel, a North Olmsted native, and Chris own and operate YogaSix Fairview Park as a local small business, but also get the backing of the largest global franchisor of health and wellness brands. Rachel loves hearing straight from students who are brand new to yoga or even seasoned yogis, how YogaSix has created positive experiences both physically and mentally in their everyday lives. YogaSix is different as they don't use Sanskrit or burn incense. Instead, they offer a fresh take on traditional yoga practices that are energizing, empowering, and fun!  YogaSix delivers six core classes: Y6 101, Y6 Restore, Y6 Power, Y6 Slow Flow and Y6 Sculpt & Flow.  At YogaSix Fairview Park, "we want a studio where everyone of all backgrounds can practice yoga in a safe and accessible way. We have a flavor for everyone!" YogaSix is changing the way people think and experience yoga.
