about me
Rebecca Rodrigues has been practising yoga for many years and has been a qualified teacher for 19+ years. She is trained in Sivananda Yoga which is a traditional restorative, energising and revitalising practice. It is an easy to learn style suitable for all.
She teaches traditional yoga in and around the Bournemouth area, and undertook her training 17 years ago in Nassau, in the Bahamas. She went to Montreal, Canada later that year to train as a Children’s yoga teacher. Then she went back to the beautiful Bahamas the following year to take her Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist course which enables her to offer a rewarding experience for those wishing to heal through the practice of yoga and its philosophy.
Rebecca’s yoga is suitable for everyone! She teaches all genders, ages and abilities. She teaches weekly adult classes in groups/online but also offers 1 to 1 sessions either online or at your home.

Will the class be suitable for my level of experience?
Adult classes are suitable for all levels of experience and aptitude. It does not matter whether you are an absolute beginner or more experienced student - we begin with a basic posture for all then variations are provided to accommodate those wishing to try more challenging variations. Self-pacing is actively encouraged in this non-competitive environment.
What if I have injuries or physical weaknesses?
What if I have injuries or physical weaknesses?
At the start of each class, students are asked if there any any injuries or conditions which the teacher should be aware of. Where postures are not suitable, an alternative is provided to avoid causing any issues with your condition. The benefits of yoga can be felt as regular practice increases circulation and flexibility. Postures also help strengthen the muscles and build core strength in a gentle way.
