“To serve and be of service to my students”
Hi.
My name is Rachel.
I hope to improve the quality of people’s lives through movement and mindfulness. I am committed to creating a welcoming and non-judgmental space where my students can embrace their curiosity, explore their potential, and discover empowerment through diverse movements.
Throughout my journey, I dedicate myself to deepening my understanding of movement, particularly within the frameworks of trauma-informed and evidence-based practices. This extensive training equips me to offer classes that prioritize the harmonious connection of mind and body while integrating principles of exercise science and biomechanics.
In contrast to the frenetic pace of "fast and furious" workouts, my classes focus on mindful and experiential movements. You can look forward to a class that helps to build strength, enhance mobility and the opportunity to practise pranayama (the regulation of life force through breath control).
I am grateful for the wisdom imparted by my esteemed teachers who have shaped my path, including Copper Crow, Jules Mitchell, Cecily Milne, Jean Byrne, and Michelle Papa from Mindful Birth, along with Sangeeta Vallabhan, Arundhati Baitmangalkar, to name a few.
When I am not teaching, you will find me enjoying quality time with my beloved Singapore Special dog and Labrador puppy, taking leisurely strolls with my family, joining invigorating spin classes alongside my husband, and continuously delving into new realms of movement modalities.
Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
I look forward to sharing the mats with you soon.
What Students Are Saying
I have been diligently attending Rachel’s class for more than a year now. Her teaching style coupled with her calming voice embodies what yoga means to me. She is always eager to impart and share her yoga knowledge with her students, incorporates various movements during her classes to accommodate our experience level. This is why I always look forward to attending her classes.
I started practicing yoga in my 50’s and as a result I am feeling great both mentally and physically these days. My flexibility and sense of balance have also improved. I only wish I had started at a younger age.
Thank you Rachel for setting a fine example of what a yoga practitioner should be.

Rachel has taught me that there is no ‘right’ or ‘better’ way of doing a yoga pose. She teaches me how to approach the same yoga poses differently but with good reasons. She is also very encouraging and genuinely cares about my well being. She checks in with me and asks how I am feeling in every class. She never fails to remind me that our bodies feel different everyday and to tune in to our bodies’ needs. I really enjoy our private sessions together and am very happy to give her this testimonial.

I am more aware of my body and have better control when moving in and out of poses. I like that Rachel provides options for different levels of abilities and encourages us to take the option that feels right for our bodies on that day to make sure no one is left behind in class. There is always something new to learn in her classes!
