She’s a very effective manipulator; I think a lot of us here used to like her. I bought her first book (pretty pictures!…not much else) and subbed to her yoga platform for a few months. There was always something about her that made me feel uneasy, though. And little things bugged me, like that she charged so much for what was essentially just a yoga class, which is why I didn’t go when she came to the city I lived in. I remember she also recruited local teachers to come assist for her for apparently little to no pay. She seemed to pull that move a lot, exploiting people who were excited to work with/for her.Totally agree.
I came full circle with Rachel. I was a naive fan of hers in the yoga days and even regretfully supported it.
I was engaged when I watched her scam people, create drama and lie constantly. I became infuriated with her exploitation of yoga and good hearted people.
Her Drama, bad relationships and desperately needing attention eventually made me see she appears extremely mentally ill and is a textbook narcissist.
Now I’ve see who she really is, It’s sad to watch her desperately trying to stay relevant. Every thing she posts from her phone is a projection and once you understand this it’s clearly easy to see.
I had to vent and now I can let it go. Personally I’m done watching her Instagrams and tattling.
I’m sure people there’s lot of people like me who finally get it and just don’t care about her anymore….
It’s the beginning of the end of Yoga_Girl.
Her self-obsession was always evident, but then she would talk about things like she truly cared about them and seemed to be trying to do good things in her community. But then the longer her projects went, the less and less she seemed to be involved, and then they all seemed to start falling apart after a while. Now it’s so obvious she would do these things for as long as she could draw attention and praise for them and then lose interest when that started to taper off.
In retrospect she has always been a grifter with narcissistic tendencies, but such people are often gifted at what they do. There are more people like her around us whom everyone adores. Maybe the cult of yoga girl is now starting to crumble though.
) and they both survived. Who gives a shit. But the fact she now thinks that makes her an expert? Imagine her platform, her audience... the people who see her and who are SCIENTIFICALLY proven to be at risk of pregnancy and birth (and post natal) issues and just take her as the fucking guru? It's madenning. Teenage mums (even here in the UK) I'm thinking of are particularly vulnerable to all sorts of risks and complications, pre, during and after, purely because they don't engage with medical services. They then watch Rachel who.... asked some people on the internet and followed some free birth insta pages? FML. I've reported her.
. They respected my wishes with my first birth, I had my son in MLU as I was low risk (no doctors, you get blue lighted if a problem occurs to the bigger hospital). I had aromatherapy, light therapy, music, candles and i birthed him in the pool. Had delayed clamping and stayed there overnight - i really don’t see how it was any different to hers. She seems to subscribe to the idea that all births in medical centres happen as they did in the Victorian times.
