About Me

Hi! I’m Rachael

I teach yoga and mindfulness to tots, pre-schoolers, primary schools and teens.

I believe a strong body through yoga and breathe work equals a happy and healthy mind.


Balance and Bloom classes are not about how many yoga poses might or might not be achieved but rather how settled and relaxed children feel during and after each class.


My yoga practice began in 2013 after moving to Bangkok, Thailand in 2011. I was working at International Schools teaching Early Years. I moved back to the UK In 2017 and gave birth to my wonderful little girl, who is now 4 years old. After my maternity leave I worked at a nursery as an early years practitioner and then a primary school as a teaching assistant. In 2021 I gave birth to my beautiful boy.


Balance and Bloom started during 2020 after qualifying as childrens yoga teacher through yogabeez.com. I was teaching small groups at the school I was working at and working 1-1 with children that have special needs.


I now teach yoga and mindfulness in nurseries and schools in and around Trafford.


During my maternity with my baby boy, I went to a baby massage class each week which benefited myself and my baby. The teacher Jo, was a wonderful 73 year old lady, due to retire. I trained as a baby massage teacher and now run the classes Jo ran for over 10 years. The community she created felt bliss. This was my favorite day of the week and a special relaxing, bonding time for me and my baby. Something I want to recreate for new mums and babies.
