Tranquility Yoga Studio used to be the chapel on site at Barnsgate Manor. It has been renovated and set up as a yoga studio since 2022.
Enjoy stunning views of rolling hills and beautiful countryside all around. Behind the studio is part of the Ashdown Forest full of inspiration and grounding energy for us to absorb on the walk at the end of the retreat day.
The cosy studio is full equipped with all you need for a yoga class but you are welcome to bring your own mat and equipment if you prefer.
We will be going for the full yoga experience, immersing ourselves in the energy, wisdom and magic that the integrated yoga practice brings us.
•The day will begin with a 90 minute yoga session to take us on a journey of self discovery... releasing past traumas and healing old wounds that prevent us from moving forwards in our lives. The session will include a deep stretch to prepare the body, a seated breath work set to clear out the old whilst building inner strength and self belief. We then move into a flow of yoga postures to balance strength and flexibility in the body. You will be invited to rest and adapt whenever you need to. We'll finish this first session with a short relaxation.
•After the first yoga session we will have a yummy nourishing lunch and refreshments. All food will be vegan (* please let us know of any allergies in advance and will accommodate)
•In the final session we will slow right down, taking some restorative yoga postures using yoga props. We will then practice some magical breath work to take us deep into meditation. Within this meditation we will set intentions and get clear on the visions we have for our lives. The session will finish with a luscious relaxation.
•Weather permitting we will then head out into the Ashdown Forest for a walk to get connected and inspired by nature. The walk is optional and will take around an hour.
Over all, this retreat day will guide and inspire you to set visions for your future, gaining clarity on the intentions and wishes you have for your life, whilst acknowledging how far we have come and what we have already achieved in life.
The retreat day will be a thorough deep cleanse of the body, mind and energy.. whilst brightening our inner light and building the confidence to shine it out into the world.
These powerful ancient yogic practices work deep into the human psyche and cells of the body.
Free yourself from self doubt and untrained ego domination and finally have the self belief, self worth, self acceptance and self trust to be who you came here to be, in this body, on this earth, right now!
We'll also have a good old laugh and make sure we're not taking it all too seriously ;-)
As always expect inspiring and uplifting music to breathe and move along to :-)
Rachel first practiced yoga to support her dance career back in the nineties/ noughties and found the physical benefits a great help, eventually taking her first teacher training in London with Claire Missingham in 2009. Since then Rachel has taught yoga full time in group class and private sessions.
Moving to ibiza in 2014 resulted in Rachel starting her own retreat company alongside teaching on other people’s retreats, including Soulshine Retreats as the lead teacher.
In 2018 Rachel finally made it out to India, a life long dream, to study with Anand Mehrotra and gain her 500 hour and Master Teacher Trainings. It was a life changing experience and changed the trajectory of her life and teaching.
Rachel’s classes are 'All Inclusive' as she encourages students to practice in the way that feels good to them and their bodies. Instilling that yoga is not about flexi, fancy poses or what it looks like, but it’s how it makes you feel.
Breathwork is the key to her transformational classes and she tailors it to fit in with whatever the theme of the ‘Now’ is. Using practices to help students shift old negative experiences that hold them back, bad habits and repetitive toxic thoughts whilst building inner strength, self belief and self worth so that people can use the practice to change their lives into exactly what they want it to be.
Limited spaces available so be sure to book asap
*non refundable 14 days before the retreat day
Here's what some of my lovely clients are experiencing in these yoga sessions...
"It’s hard to put into words what Rachel’s classes have done for me, they have helped me heal in ways I didn’t think were possible. I tried many different yoga classes before and always felt extremely intimidated, then when I started Rachel’s classes after being encouraged by a good friend, it felt different. I felt relaxed and free and able to enjoy yoga like I hadn’t before. I feel powerful when I do Rachel’s classes. They make me feel like my life has a huge purpose and I am enough just the way I am."
"I was unfit ,stiff ,over weight and I wasn’t connecting mind, body and soul. I was also very sceptical as to whether I would ever be able to really ‘get into ‘ yoga ,as I had tried many times before .
Meeting and working with Rachel taught me that being bendy and externally gorgeous was not the aim and she helped me to find my own individual path . A class with Rachel is isn’t about desperately trying to catch up with impossible moves , it always begins with a gentle stretch , maybe a short reading , breath work and then yoga moves .
It’s like a whole mind and body cleanse and it’s a hugely important part of my life."
Practising with Rachel is more than just your average yoga class, it's a deep dive into yourself. It's a heartwarming ray of sunshine every time you step on the mat. Rachel encourages you to use what you learn to live your happiest & healthy life, to go out & shine ✨️
The breathwork & yoga have had a huge impact on my life, my self belief & confidence to chase my dreams.
Magic happens when you put in the work & Rachel is there to guide you through 🙏🏻
