Rebekah Marcano

Rebekah Marcano is a Chicago-based meditation teacher and wellness guide whose work blends mindfulness, breath, yoga, dance, and integrative movement. Her classes create a meditative quality in motion, helping people slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and cultivate presence. A lifelong Chicago resident, Rebekah trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) through the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and holds yoga certifications, including Trauma-Sensitive Yoga. She has guided over 2,000 military veterans in clinical and community settings, teaching yoga and mindfulness to support grounding, emotional regulation, and resilience. Her personal experience with disordered eating, cycles of yo-yo dieting, and addictive behaviors informs her compassionate, choice-based approach—thank your body, move your body, love your body. In Chicago, she offers mindful movement, dance fitness, yoga, and meditation programs accessible to all bodies and abilities. Participants often describe her practices as “meditation in motion”—a gentle, grounding space to breathe, release, and feel fully present. Define your well-being—one breath, one moment at a time.
