Testimonials: I took my first class with Rachel back in 2008. I had met many of her Yoga students who spoke of her with great respect and some awe, so I was a little nervous entering the Shala as a complete novice. It was, however, to be the beginning of a wonderful life changing journey. Under Rachel’s tutelage and gentle encouragement, matched with her vast experience of the asanas and philosophy of Yoga as well as her indomitable passion for life, I discovered a new way to view the world. The high calibre of her teaching combined with admirable patience trains her students to become aware of their deep-down strength and develop it into a life preserving commodity.
Rachel has inspired me to make Yoga a daily Practice. Learning to be present through this Practice has helped me greatly through many aspects of my personal life, as well as teaching me tranquillity in situations where panic would have previously been my initial reaction. The Yoga House exudes an atmosphere of calm and peace and is a welcome haven of respite from the challenges of the modern world. This, of course, is down to its resident. We are so lucky she has decided to make her home in Tallow.

‘Rachel is an amazing human being as well as a tremendous teacher. Her classes are joyful, physical & enriching. She turns a disciplinary Yoga (Ashtanga) into a fun and surprising Practice. Before I went to The Yoga House I also thought I would never love Philosophy & Meditation classes, yet somehow these classes turn out to be among my favourites! Her Shala is also an amazing place, welcoming, cozy & spiritual. Rachel touched me with the light of her teaching & her heart and I will be forever grateful’.

‘Over the last few years I’ve had the honour & pleasure to have practiced Yoga under the tutelage of Rachel Beare as both her teacher & a fellow student learning from our teachers. To say that Rachel lives Yoga is an understatement. Her lifelong dedication to the Practice is evident in her teachings which have the depth & wisdom only an experienced teacher can infuse so skillfully into their classes. As a student, Rachel’s passion, inquisitiveness & understanding are a joy to teach. As a mentor Rachel’s advice is compassionate & wise and she guides you to figure things out for oneself. Get to her classes whether virtually or in person. you won’t regret it’.

Rachel has created a wonderfully welcoming yoga shala that is filled with light and relaxed energy. She is a great teacher who has a way of explaining complicated philosophical ideas in an uncomplicated, clear and fun way. She helps students to practice poses whatever their level of fitness or familiarity. I have found her classes so helpful over the last few years and it's a brilliant way to stretch the body and mind and to de-stress.

Rachel Beare is one of the most fabulous yoga instructors (and humans!) I have had the pleasure to know. She is kind, careful, diligent and attentive as a teacher. I have practiced with dozens of different instructors over the years and never have I met anyone so empathetic and attentive to her students’ needs. She guides a room with ease and reminds us to pay attention to ourselves. Her courses are meticulously crafted and offer options for all different skill and flexibility levels. She takes care to escalate the coursework gently over the weeks, and incorporate new techniques while enhancing on some core basics. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a yoga practice that will both nourish and challenge you.
