Rachel Atkins

Rachel is a Yoga and Mindfulness Instructor specialising in gentle, accessible Hatha, Yin, and chair yoga, as well as mindful movement practices designed for real bodies and real life. She discovered yoga and mindfulness after being diagnosed with arthritis over 20 years ago, and both practices became essential tools in managing the challenges of living with a chronic condition. This personal journey naturally led her to train as a yoga teacher, with a focus on creating supportive, welcoming spaces for others. Rachel is passionate about helping people feel more at ease in their bodies—offering live gentle yoga classes, along with guided meditations and mindfulness practices here on Insight Timer. Her teachings are grounded in kindness, patience, and simplicity—perfect for those seeking calm, connection, and confidence without pressure. She also works with local charities and her community, providing safe, non-judgmental spaces for everyone to move, breathe, and reconnect.
