AN AWARD-WINNING DOCTOR, DJ AND WELLNESS ENTREPRENEUR
The Three Lions Euro 2024 squad marked the International Day of Yoga as they were put through their paces, positions and postures by Dr Rebekah Jade Lawrence at their plush Weimarer Land spa and golf resort in Germany.
Rebekah got into yoga while staying at a retreat on an island off the coast of Panama after struggling with her mental health and is now a qualified teacher.
By trade, she is a qualified doctor - despite the difficulties associated with being diagnosed as dyslexic. She studied physiology at King’s College London, graduating with first-class honours, before completing a medicine degree in 2021.
In June 2023, she was signed up by Nike London as one of the sportswear giant's yoga trainers. She is part of the Nike Well Collective area - which focuses on movement, mindfulness, nutrition, rest and connection and that led to her involvement with the England squad.
She has also launched her own cultural platform, Pana, which aims to promote health and happiness within the black community through yoga.
Rebekah Jade is also passionate about music and is even a DJ - regularly doing gigs, radio sets, festivals and events for brands including Nike, Converse and Uniqlo, showcasing sounds from around the world including old-school reggae and British funk disco.
The Three Lions gifted her a signed shirt after the session - lets hope she can help them stretch their run at the Euros all the way to the final.
