Meet our founder.
“I guess you’re just one of those people who gets sick.”
That was one of the things that Rebecca heard in her 20’s as she was just starting her adult life and trying to figure out where she wanted to end up in the world. Just a few years before a doctor had callously told her she would, “Need a hip replacement by 40 because that’s what happens to girls like you”.
In this case “girls like you” meant baby girls born with hip dysplasia that had to wear a brace around their waists as infants to stabilize the hip joint and allow the muscles that hold the hip in place to form.
During her teen and young-adult years, pain soared in her hip, and she was having a hard time dealing with the general stressors of growing up and figuring out a path to adulthood (can you relate?). For some people that time in life is easy; for some people, it seems natural to slide into the right decisions and right living.
Not Rebecca! She is a tester of things (so she isn’t likely to swallow any magic pill you give her—sound familiar to anyone else?). Somehow she had a generous friend who managed to get her to come to a yoga class and from there, her journey began. She is always looking at yoga from a health and healing perspective, using it to make her daily life a bit better.
Fast forward to today. Rebecca is in her 40s, no hip pain (or replacement) and she definitely has a reputation for staying healthy even when everyone else is sick. Want to know who yoga helps? Well…us.

What People Are Saying about Rebecca
"I see Rebecca at Sunlight for yoga therapy, and it’s AMAZING.
The center itself is warm and welcoming - not intimidating at all for someone who is generally overwhelmed in public spaces. I’ve had multiple injuries and chronic pain for years. In our one-on-one sessions, we do movements, breath work and relaxation designed for exactly what is ailing me. I get manageable, daily homework to do in between our sessions.
The results have spoken for themselves. In such a short time I am experiencing less pain, more mobility and greater confidence in myself.
Yoga therapy is probably the best thing I’ve ever done for myself and Rebecca Sebastian is an amazing guide.
Rebecca and Sunlight Yoga Center are helping me on my path to wellness.”
And don’t worry. I didn’t know what it was either when I started. Go to the Sunlight Yoga Center’s page and hit up Rebecca with your questions. Or better yet, make your first appointment. I can guarantee you that you will wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.”
