Rachel Sundström

Rachel is an India-trained yoga instructor whose longstanding passion for this dynamic and balanced form of exercise grew into a more active pursuit following her attendance of yoga classes in London in the late 1990s. Increasingly laying the foundations for active wellness, yoga became for Rachel a natural addition to her life, which also includes a wealth of experience in complementary therapy.

Rachel specialises in Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga as well as taking inspiration from and incorporating elements of the Ashtanga and Anusara Yoga traditions. This allows for individualised exercise and training the mind. Importantly, she ensures that classes remain small to provide the necessary adjustments and alignments to students. Private lessons are also offered for speedier and more tailored development. Rachel separately offers the additional reviving treatments of Reflexology and Indian head massage. Combined, these activities provide a solid set of tools for a healthy lifestyle.
