Rachel Leviss In Workout Gear Is "Very Cutesy, Very Demure"

Vanderpump Rules star Rachel Leviss is very much still in her "era of healing," based on her Instagram posts. Leviss, 29, shared a video of herself wearing black workout gear, playing with crystal sound bowls while out in nature. "Retreating to the forest to play with @glowcrystalbowls Very cutesy, very demure. 🌲🧚🏼✨🦌," she captioned the post. Leviss has changed her lifestyle significantly since leaving the Bravo reality show—here's what her health and wellness regimen looks like these days.

Leviss says leaving Los Angeles for Arizona has changed her life. "The activities that I participate in every day, like yoga, going for long walks, being out in nature, is huge for me," she told Us Weekly. "There's a spirituality piece to that too. Before it was craving being in nature and now that I've stepped away from Hollywood, there's this freeing feeling when I am able to immerse myself in nature and just breathe and appreciate everything that's around me."df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Leviss likes to keep herself busy with physical activities. "I've been diving right into hot yoga," she told E! News. "I'm doing Pilates, hiking, just staying really active, so that my mind doesn't go spinning."

Leviss started a podcast called  Rachel Goes Rogue to share her side of the story and heal. "Just sharing what I've learned about myself through this journey," she told E! News. "And hopefully helping other people who have been through abusive relationships, toxic friend groups, that can relate to what I'm talking about. I feel like it's given me my power back. And I just feel empowered doing it."

Leviss checked herself into a mental health facility for three months to focus on her wellbeing after the Vanderpump Rules cheating scandal came to light. "The dark times were so dark, and it felt like there wasn't a way out for the longest time. I [decided] I need[ed] to start making better decisions," she told Us Weekly. "It took time to integrate everything that I learned into my real life, but I feel like I'm finally now able to start living for me. Although I'm still in therapy and make it a point to continue to work on myself, there's a newfound level of freedom — it's an era of healing."

Leviss no longer drinks alcohol.  "I committed to a year of not drinking alcohol and I accomplished that and I'm just continuing going this route because I realized that I don't need alcohol," she told Us Weekly. "Also surrounding myself with positive people. Those are the real life-changing lifestyle choices that I've made. I don't think L.A. is all bad, but being in certain environments could bring out the worst in a person. So now when I go visit Santa Monica, I have new friends and there's a common theme [such as] spirituality and not drinking. It's a much healthier social circle that I'm in in L.A."
