  • Rachelle Hawker

    Hey friends! I’m Miss Rachelle. I’m a mom of 4 and believe our youth deserve the best from us. My studio is a place where I can be part of the village and help kids learn, grow, and believe in themselves. Tumbling gave me confidence as a child, and I always knew I wanted to share that gift with others.

    I’ve been teaching tumbling since I was a teenager, and I feel so blessed to have my own space to share my passion with my students. Teaching correct body shapes and technique is so important to me and my secret weapon for overcoming mind blocks. I love breaking tricks down to make them simple and achievable. Defy Tumbling Academy was built with my heart, and I’m so grateful to cheer on my students as they work hard, master new skills, and believe in themselves.
