# Rachel Lovegrove Yoga
Rachel Lovegrove Yoga, operating as Orange Tree Yoga, is a specialist Iyengar yoga teaching practice based in Southampton. With over 25 years of teaching experience since 1998, Rachel offers a comprehensive approach to yoga instruction tailored to individual needs and circumstances.
The business serves diverse clientele, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners, as well as those seeking therapeutic interventions for specific health conditions. This includes corporate clients, pregnant women, and individuals managing pain or mobility issues. Rachel also mentors trainee and qualified Iyengar yoga teachers through structured training programmes.
What distinguishes Rachel's practice is her dual qualification as both an advanced Iyengar yoga teacher and experienced yoga therapist. She provides highly personalised instruction, with particular expertise in yoga therapy and therapeutic modifications. Rather than one-size-fits-all group sessions, Rachel delivers detailed individual corrections and adaptations within her classes. Her credentials are reinforced by endorsements from notable figures, including Duncan Bannatyne OBE, who specifically recommends her for pain management and flexibility work.
The business operates flexibly across multiple formats—weekly in-person and online classes, private one-to-one tuition, corporate programmes, and immersive retreat experiences across the UK and internationally (Spain, Portugal, Italy, India, and Ireland). This accessibility allows clients to engage with yoga at their preferred intensity and schedule whilst maintaining the depth and rigour characteristic of Iyengar practice.
