Your core does so much more than give you abs.

In Barre, it’s working pretty much the whole time. Helping you balance, stabilise, control your movement and support your posture.

Core work doesn’t have to mean endless crunches.

It’s learning to move from a strong centre. To keep control as your legs move. To stabilise when things start to wobble. To make those small movements count rather than just rushing through them.

That’s one of the things I love about Barre. The movements can look small, but there is so much going on.

Strength, balance, stability, control and a whole lot of core work.

And yes, sometimes a little shaking too.

Barre Balance builds it.

Barre Sculpt is about to turn things up a notch.

Are you coming to give it a go?

It's our last full week timetable before half term, how did we get here already?

How are you spending it?

Ease into it.
Dance like we’re possessed.
Breathe through it.
Shake a little.
Rest when you need to.
Maybe consult the oracle?

& if all else fails, make a broomstick. 🧹

From Yin to Vinyasa, Barre to AnandaDance, Rest & Recharge to Oracle Insight, with our final Halloween specials and Broom on the Moon to finish the week.

Whatever you need, there’s always a space here for you. ❤️

See you in the studio.

(Yes, fancy dress for Tuesday’s AnandaDance is absolutely encouraged!!)

THE BECOMING

An Intentional Start to 2027

What if, instead of beginning another year with a list of things to change about yourself, you gave yourself the space to explore who we are becoming?

Not a new you, not another set of resolutions to keep up with. Just a little time to reflect, reconnect and consider what you would love to welcome into the year ahead.

This January, I'm inviting you to something a little different at Soul Beautiful.

The Becoming is a five-hour immersive experience weaving together yoga, reflection, ritual and creativity.

At the heart of our time together, you'll create your own beautiful keepsake box. A personal collection of imagery, words, textures, botanicals, crystals and meaningful little treasures that represent what you want to carry into 2027.

We'll explore what we're ready to leave behind, what we'd like more of, what matters to us and the possibilities we haven't even began to imagine yet.

You'll also write a letter from your future self, to be sealed away and opened in December 2027. A little reminder of where you began and all that may unfold along the way.

There will be movement, stillness, creativity, meaningful reflection and plenty of time to simply enjoy the process.

You'll leave with something far more personal than a traditional vision board. Something to keep, revisit and add to as your year unfolds.

Becoming isn't about fixing who you are!

It's about giving yourself permission to grow into whatever comes next.

10th January 2027 12-5pm

A truly immersive experience in more ways than one!.......,something is coming!!!

£79 per person, including all materials and refreshments.

Spaces will be limited to keep this a personal and meaningful experience.

I'd love you to join me, you can book your space via the booking system.

We're not trying to compete with the big gyms. We're doing something different, and that's exactly what we love about it.

I have absolutely nothing against gyms. They're brilliant for the people who love them, but I don't particularly want someone banging weights off the floor while I'm blissing out in Savasana! 🤣

What I love about independent studios is that they're personal.

I love knowing the people who walk through my doors. Their names, their stories, their little victories. I love hearing about their lives, celebrating their achievements and watching friendships form between people who might never otherwise have met.

I also love knowing that when I support another independent business, I'm supporting a real person. Someone who has poured their heart, time, money and probably a fair few sleepless nights into creating something they believe in.

We're not enormous corporations! We're people with dreams, bills to pay, families to support and communities we genuinely care about.

Running a small independent studio can be bloody hard work, but there's something incredibly special about what we create.

I truly don't believe independent studios, fitness providers or wellness practitioners need to compete with one another either.

We all bring something different. Different personalities, different experiences, different ways of teaching and different spaces for people to find what feels right for them.

There's room for all of us.

So here's to the independent studios, the little businesses with big hearts and the people brave enough to build something of their own.

Let's support each other, because collaboration will always mean more to me than competition.

I would never be arrogant enough to assume that my teaching style is right for everyone. We all connect with different people, different approaches and different environments & that's a good thing! It's exactly why we need a variety of independent studios, rather than seeing each other as competition.

To everyone who does choose to walk through our doors, thank you. You're the reason we get to keep doing what we love.

Tagging a few fellow independents, show them some love.

We spend an hour learning one song and one routine.

Not because we expect everyone to have every step perfect by the end, but because we love watching what happens along the way.

At first, there’s usually a lot of concentration faces 🤣. Watching, thinking, checking which foot goes where and occasionally wondering what on earth we’re doing.

Then the music starts to settle in & feel familiar, a lyrics reminds you of where you are. The steps begin to feel more natural. People add their own little touches, find their confidence and start having a bit of fun with it.

Then by the time we come to that final run through, the energy in the room becomes something else entirely.

We don’t want everyone to dance like us.

We want you to dance like you!

Yes, we give you the choreography, but the personality, the freedom and the joy you bring to it are entirely your own.

The dancing is how we get there, the freedom is the bit that matters.

That’s AnandaDance.

Which one is the “proper” Butterfly?

The answer is, all of them.

There isn’t one shape that every body needs to make for a pose to be valid.

We are all built differently.

Different proportions, different mobility, different experiences & different needs.

Your own body won’t feel the same every time you step onto your mat either.

Some days you might fold forward with easem
Some days you might stay upright.
Some days you might grab a bolster, a couple of blocks and make yourself ridiculously comfortable.

Props aren’t there because you “can’t” do the pose. They’re there to help the pose work for you.

Remember there is no prize for getting your head closer to the floor.

The posture should meet your body.
Your body doesn’t have to meet the posture.

Yoga is for everybody & every body.

Two years ago today, I officially completed my Yoga Teacher Training!

250 hours of learning, growing, stretching (in every sense of the word!) and finding the confidence to share something I truly love with others.

And what a two years it's been!

When I look back at the person who nervously hired a room to teach her first few yoga classes, I wonder what she'd think if she could see where we are now.

A fully equipped Studio & Wellness Centre filled with movement, laughter, friendships, beautiful people and more yoga mats than I care to count!
However, I think the biggest changes have happened in ways you can't necessarily see.

I've grown in confidence, expanded my knowledge, explored new ways of teaching and discovered that being a good teacher isn't about knowing everything. It's about being willing to keep learning.

I've also learned that growth doesn't always mean adding more classes, more qualifications or more things to the timetable. Sometimes it means recognising what matters, trusting your instincts and having the confidence to change direction.

Believe me, there have been plenty of lessons along the way!!

There have been moments of absolute joy, moments of doubt, things that have worked beautifully and things that haven't quite gone to plan, but every single experience has taught me something.

One thing that hasn't changed in these two years is how much I love what I do.

Not because every day is peaceful and zen (I can assure you it isn't! 🤣), but because of the people who walk through our doors.

The conversations before class, the laughter when things don't go quite right, the friendships that form, the moments when someone discovers they're capable of something they didn't think they could do.

That's the stuff that matters.

To everyone who has practised with me, encouraged me, supported the studio, recommended a class or simply cheered us on from the sidelines, thank you.

You have helped create something that is so much more than a place to practise yoga.

As I look towards my third year of teaching, with some exciting changes on the horizon, I'm reminded that I don't need to have everything figured out.

I'm still learning, still evolving & still occasionally mixing up my left and right. 🤣

I really wouldn't have it any other way.

Much love & gratitude,

Rach ♥️ xx

You’ve met Barre Balance!

Now meet her feisty little sister. 🔥🔥🔥

BARRE SCULPT is coming this November.

30 minutes made to count! Designed to strengthen, sculpt and tone using the barre, weights, bands and balls.

Plenty of pulses.

Plenty of burn.

And apparently 30 minutes is more than enough time for me to make you question your life choices. 😂🤣😂

Low impact, full body and suitable for all levels, as always you work at your level.

What does your soul need this week?

Maybe you need to move, maybe you need to be still.

Maybe you need to dance and accidentally do some cardio or maybe you need to feel strong, breathe a little deeper or trust your intuition.

You don’t have to choose what you think you should be doing.

Choose what feels good for you this week.

We’ll meet you there 🤍
