HI I’m Rachel Henson, where to begin?  So, one night at about 3 am, I signed up for a yoga 200hr Ashtanga teacher training in Nicaragua, gotta love the internet, and blindly went a few weeks later.  I did not know this would be one of the hardest and most rewarding experiences of my life.  No running water, no electricity, two buckets were our shower, and my teacher only spoke Swedish and Spanish.  Upon my return, I went back to my corporate job and started volunteering to teach classes at The Bridge over Trouble Waters, a battered women’s shelter in Pasadena, TX. Within a month, a friend invited me to sign up for a long waiting list for Goat Yoga in Oregon and I decided I wasn’t willing to wait.  In 2017, I started Goat Yoga Houston, the first in Texas, and third in the United States, and over the next years expanded it to different cities throughout Texas and Oklahoma.  Fast forward 3 years and over 1000 teaching hours later and its 2020 and the pandemic is upon us.  I had always loved spending time in Central America on mission work and I loved the culture and slower pace of Mexico, Cozumel specifically and I found peace in the sea and the safety and security of the small but diverse island.  I found myself making trips monthly.  After selling Goat Yoga Houston in 2022, I decided to make my passion for yoga, conservation, and ocean animals into my life’s work and have decided to share these experiences with you under the watchful eyes of Cozumel Ecologia.  I know what I want in a retreat and promise you a 5-star, all-inclusive retreat, no matter what program you chose!
