CALM SOUL YOGA AND CHAIR YOGA INCLUDES QIGONG PRANAYAMA & MEDITATION

Yoga covers a wide range of styles . My interest lies with mind and body awareness and wellbeing through somatic movement, meditation and breathing practises. It is Yoga to soothe the Nervous System, bring a calm stillness and to maintain balance in your life.

I am particularly interested in and continue to study, Yoga and Neuroplasticity-a growing area of scientific study (if you are interested in Neuroplasticity, click here). 

My focus is to support, motivate and encourage people to look after their health and wellbeing by cultivating an awareness between mind, body and spirit, through Yoga and the three Holistic Therapies of Massage, Reflexology and Aromatherapy.

Yoga is a philosophy which is rooted in ancient India and therefore reflects the images and stories of that continent . It is not a religion and does not tie into any single belief system. Despite having threads going back 5000 years, it is now recognised as an invaluable way of coping with modern day stresses.

Chair Yoga can offer the same benefits as Yoga from the mat and bring harmony between mind & body by coordinating breath and movement. 

Stella offers an accessible class that is gentle and supportive by helping each person develop their own Yoga Practice. The classes are beneficial for improving flexibility, strength, balance and concentration. By bringing awareness into the body, Chair Yoga can help reduce anxiety, increase emotional resilience, as well as help to improve mental clarity.

Stella's classes are accessible to everyone, with support from a chair they are designed to help you tune into your body and calm your mind - keeping you mentally and physically fit.

The class includes gentle nourishing movement for anyone with limited mobility due to matters such as knee or hip injuries/replacements, balance issues, neurological conditions, arthritis or post-stroke challenges (please check with your GP before starting if you have any concerns that it might not be suitable for you)

'I look forward to Stella's chair yoga class every week- it is definite 'me time'. I was very nervous the first time I attended as it is the first independent class I have attended since my balance issues have meant the use of my wheelchair.  Everything we do is tailored to the class and I have no problem taking part.  If anyone has doubts about a particular exercise Stella is encouraging but happy for it to be missed out.' (MW)

'For a long time I'd thought about doing yoga but the the prospect of bending into strange shapes and getting up off the floor filled me with dread. Chair Yoga is much more user friendly, doing the same stretching exercise, but not on  the floor.The breathing and relaxation parts of the exercise give me time to gather my thoughts and deal with life.' (JR)

'I have been attending Chair Yoga for about 10 weeks now, and with Stella’s sensitive direction and simple but effective exercises, it has become an important weekly event for my health and well-being.' (MB)

'I have attended Stella's chair yoga class for the last 3 months. I find it both relaxing and enjoyable, which is also helping me to improve my balance and respiratory function. The class is small, friendly and welcoming. Is to be recommended' (KP)

As an newcomer to yoga, Stella’s classes have been amazing. Her explanations are really clear and calm and I’ve loved every minute! (MW)

Stella provides an hour of tranquil therapy which refreshes the soul.  Soothing voice and clear instructions mean that even a beginner like me can enjoy the "time out" she provides. (PH)

Stella's classes are wonderful. They're the perfect moment of calm in a hectic lifestyle with small children, and a perfect way to ease sore muscles that are a direct result of said hectic lifestyle!

She's so clear and calm and has a really magical way of putting you at ease, and is so helpful.

I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. (EE)

Stella is a knowledgeable yoga teacher who radiates calm. Her teaching is accessible and sensible. You’re in safe hands with Stella. (DF)

Stella’s yoga nights are fabulous to help with a chill out after a long day in front of the PC. I’m feeling much more relaxed after the sessions. Stella is calming and makes me feel great! Thanks Stella (BM)

Stella’s Calm Soul Yoga is the perfect way to stretch out and calm the mind at the end of the week, particularly for those of us spending too much time sitting whilst working from home! (PM)
