Meet your instructor: Rachel
Rachel began practicing yoga around seven years ago and truly believes that not only can it benefit everyone, but it is for everyone and everybody. Whether you come for your mind your body or your spirit, you’ll find something to take away. Jigor Gor said that, “Yoga is not about touching your toes, but what you learn on the way down,” and Rachel couldn’t agree more.
When she isn’t practicing yoga Rachel enjoys running (yoga is great for runners), hiking with her dog Georgie, scuba-diving (although a fair weather diver these days!) and losing herself in a good book.

Well, that’s it Park Yogi’s. The 2025 Park Yoga season has now closed.
We’ve spent the summer downing our dog and resting our pigeon under a blanket of blue skies in the beautiful Marina Park.
It has brought me so much joy each week to be joined by so many of you rolling out your mats on a Sunday morning (whatever the weather).
I’ve loved hearing about what Park Yoga has meant to you individually - some have found the benefits physical, some mental, some spiritual and, for some, all these boxes have been ticked.
We’ve practiced some challenging sequences this year, and you have embraced them with open hearts. I’m so very proud of our wonderful community and of each of you individually.
I continue to practice on Sunday mornings at the Northcourt Centre, check out the pinned post on this page or drop me a message via my Facebook page:
Activity on this, Park Yoga Abingdon, Facebook page will soon cease as Park Yoga goes into hibernation for the colder months. Please do come back around mid-April next year for information on the 2026 season.
For now, I wish you a warm and cosy Autumn and Winter. Continue to move your body. Continue to practice stillness. Continue to connect with your breath.
“You are enough, just as you are. Each emotion you feel, everything in your life, everything you do or do not do… where you are and who you are right now is enough. It is perfect. You are perfect enough."
