About
Rachel Ellery

Rachel is an international anatomy and movement teacher that specialises in teaching yoga students, teachers and bodyworkers.

​

Rachel’s teaching experience extends over 20 years where she spent a decade instructing osteopath students at UniTech in New Zealand after graduating from the British School of Osteopathy in 2000. She encourages her students to develop their own self-awareness and invokes in them a playful curiosity about what happens under their skin. Rachel’s down-to-earth teaching style uses storytelling and case studies, visuals of the body, interactive exercises and informative handouts to make anatomy an engaging subject for all her students.

She has taught alongside internationally renowned yogis in their 200 & 300 hour yoga teacher trainings, including: Les Leventhal, Tara Judelle, Kaya Peters, Tanya Kaps, Cat Kabira, Emily Kuser, Denise Payne, Bex Tyrer, School of Sacred Arts, Tina Nance and Beate McLatchie.

Based in Bali, the yoga capital of Asia, Rachel travels to yoga schools across the globe to educate yoga students and teachers in a holistic view of how the whole body works. She combines her extensive knowledge of osteopathy, sports therapy, pilates, Thai bodywork, and yoga into unique interactive anatomy and movement classes with the help of Charlie, her skeleton.

​

Rachel is truly our anatomy queen and brings an extraordinary depth of knowledge and experience to the training. She is leading the Anatomy module at Anjali Studio for the second time together with Savina, once again enriching the Teacher Training with her expertise and vibrant presence.

She lives and breathes the world of anatomy and movement, and her passion is contagious. What can sometimes feel like a dry subject becomes engaging, creative and memorable in her hands.

With her background in osteopathy and over 20 years of teaching experience, she has a unique ability to make complex concepts clear, practical and directly applicable to yoga. Through storytelling, interactive exercises and playful exploration, she ensures that anatomy is not only understood — but truly embodied and never forgotten.
