15 years of teaching yoga

“Cannot work out when I started properly with you! I think I attended a couple of workshops and then your lovely retreats , as a guest with Laura. My feelings ,at the time , were how gentle and calm you were, both as a teacher and a human! But I certainly didn’t feel the yoga was “ hard “ enough!  How the mighty falleth ! I sustained a knee injury in my hard yoga class, in a ridiculous pose , that was enough to bring me to my senses! Time to try Rachel…
And what a joy . Your class in the Friends meeting house was so lovely. Took me a while to adapt and soften my poses, not always pushing my body further , the 5 seasons you follow are so interesting,make perfect sense. The pandemic changed everyone and everything but the technology required, which you rose to , has allowed me to still feel part of your class, despite moving away. I am very grateful for this. I hope to continue with you for at least the next 15 years !” – SJ. Suffolk

“I remember the first class very well – August 2017 – as I was the only male with twenty women in the class – so I had a few initial minor reservations, however these reservations very quickly evaporated
due to your sensitivity of the situation and of course, all of the very nice people in the class made me
feel very welcome.”

“Every class is different.  Rachel introduces something new virtually every week and I love working with
the seasons. I have met lots of great people at our Thursday morning class and a lot of this is down to
Rachel bringing us together.”

“ I’ve always been amazed at the amount of variety you give us. I’ve been coming for over 10 years and never get bored. You’ve been more than just a yoga teacher. You’re the first person I ever heard suggest that we be kind to ourselves which was a new concept to me back then. Your classes have definitely changed my life for the better, and have given me a life long love of yoga so thank you so much for that.
I still very much enjoy our weekly classes, and the good humour you and the others provide.”

“I have been with you for several years now , coming from a ballet background, having been a
performer, teacher, an examiner I have always dealt with ‘no gain without pain’
You have taught me so much and I will always be grateful for your knowledge, encouragement and care you show not only to me but to all the people in class. I have learnt how to relax and breathe and not only think with my head but my heart as well. My well-being has improved so much – Thank you so much Rachel 
Love and light I think you would say”
