Tewkesbury Yoga for Health and Wellbeing, offering Viniyoga Group Classes, Individual Tuition, Bespoke Packages, and more, to encourage harmony of mind, body and spirit.

What we do

Tewkesbury Yoga for Health and Wellbeing is a small independent business founded and run by Rachel Done, who is an advanced Yoga Practitioner and Wellbeing Mentor. (see the About page)

Tewkesbury Yoga offers weekly group classes using a style and method known as Viniyoga, which simply translates as Special Application.

This is a slow dynamic and traditional style of Hatha Yoga with a strong emphasis on using the breath with movement and being mindful throughout. This style of yoga is performed on a mat but can easily be adapted for a chair practice. The classes are suitable for all abilities as modifications and variations are used to make the practice accessible for ALL.

In addition to group classes we are also able to offer Individual Tuition and Bespoke practices to suit private events such as family celebrations, workplace wellness, Yoga in Schools for Teens, Workshops and Retreats. Please use the Tabs below for more information on each of the services on offer.

Rachel is an exceptional yoga teacher and incredibly skilled at what she does—her guidance is clear, thoughtful, and always grounded in a deep understanding of the practice. But what really makes Rachel stand out is her kindness. She creates a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels supported, seen, and encouraged. No matter your experience level, she meets you with patience and compassion, helping you grow at your own pace.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so pleased to have found Rachel. As someone with a long term health condition, her individualised approach, even in group classes, means I can practice at my pace, not feel pressured and know that I am safely working towards improvement and recovery. She is knowledgeable, caring and focused on ensuring that her students are getting what they need from her sessions. There are always choices based on how you are feeling physically and mentally that ensure you come away feeling you have achieved something.
If you have ever been interested in yoga, but worried that you’d struggle, I’d encourage you to seek her out and give it a try. I feel it’s made a big difference to my physical and mental wellbeing already after just two terms.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rachel at Tewkesbury Yoga is a very knowledgeable yoga teacher and her passion for it shines through. She teaches a style called 'Vini-yoga' which has a strong emphasis on breathing and technique. Her classes were always excellent and I found them just to be on the right side of challenging. Enough to push yourself but not too hard that you would feel out of your depth.
Rachel, is also a really lovely, warm and friendly person who immediately puts you at your ease. I have really enjoyed my time practicing with her - it would have been longer but a house move is moving me away from the area.
Thank you Rachel, for all your wisdom and kindness.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rachel delivered a private yoga session for a group of friends when we visited Longdon for my birthday weekend recently. We all thoroughly enjoyed the session and she pitched it perfectly to a group of very mixed ability ladies and men. I would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend Rachel enough! Through 1:1 sessions with her, I have gained knowledge of body and mind which has proved to be so useful to me in times where I have needed it the most. Her calming and caring nature instantly put me at ease and I was able to allow myself to relax and take in all of her words/practices of wisdom. As a total newbie to Yoga, Rachel has made me feel confident enough to try something new at my pace with her guidance along the way.

Honestly can’t thank you enough Rachel for your guidance and 1:1 sessions as they have been imperative in helping me understand myself more than I ever thought I could and to give me those trusty tools in my toolbox for when days are just that little bit tougher.

Thank you so much ☺️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been attending these classes for over a year now and have found that not only are they good for my strength and flexibility but they have had a profound and positive effect on my stress levels and sleep. I always enjoy the relaxation part at the end of the session and sleep so well after a class.
Rachel is great at taking in to account everybody's different strengths, weaknesses and injuries and offers alternatives to moves you might struggle with for a particular reason.
We have also been lucky enough to have Rachel provide wellbeing yoga / relaxation sessions in our workplace, which has gone down really well with the team.
I highly recommend giving one of Tewkesbury Yoga's classes a try.
