ABOUT
Welcome to Stroud Yoga Space
Since 2012, Stroud Yoga Space has been a sanctuary for connection, movement, and wellbeing in the heart of Stroud.
Founded by Rachel Mellish, a passionate yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience in the area, the studio was born from a vision to provide a warm, welcoming space for practice - far from the cold, dimly lit village halls of the past.
What began as a creative transformation of a former pet shop has grown into a vibrant hub for yoga.
Thanks to the dedication of Rachel, her husband William, and the support of friends and local craftspeople, Stroud Yoga Space offers a light-filled, peaceful environment where a diverse team of exceptional teachers guide students of all levels.
In 2016, we expanded to include a cloakroom and the beloved Yoga Shop next door, creating a space that truly reflects the heart of Stroud’s yoga community.

Stroud Yoga Shop
A few years after opening the studio in 2012, we expanded into the neighbouring building to create a dedicated cloakroom and a thoughtfully curated Yoga Shop.
Our goal was simple: to offer a wide range of ethical clothing and equipment, ensuring our students could arrive prepared and inspired for class.
Driven by a passion for sustainability and quality, we sought out small makers and companies with a commitment to ethical production - spanning from our local community, to Europe and the US.
Each item in our shop is carefully chosen for its craftsmanship, environmental responsibility, and sustainable packaging, reflecting our belief that yoga begins with the choices we make off the mat.
