Steph lives on the beautiful Channel Island of Guernsey, which is only 25 square miles, so nowhere is far from the sea! Nature is a huge inspiration for her classes and she loves to take her participants outdoors in the summer months to connect with the Earth’s energy. She has been teaching yoga for five years and also runs Pilates classes and Les Mills group exercise classes. Steph recently undertook some extra training with another YGB Ambassador and founder of My Kind of Yoga™ – Ann-See Yeoh – and shares her love for the intentional movement system which creates a simple, no-fluff and straightforward approach to yoga. Steph’s classes encourage a mindful practice, with participants being encouraged to feel the moves in their body and find the unique option that works for them, while staying true to the essence of yoga. Students are also encouraged to apply their intentions both on and off the mat, to fully embrace their yoga as a way of living, not just moving.
“Yoga Gives Back spoke to me as a charity because of the simplicity of the idea. We are so lucky to have the gift of yoga, which came from India, in our lives, and now it is time to give something back. As Western women, it is so easy to take for granted our education and our freedom to choose. By donating to this beautiful cause, we are enabling and empowering the women of India to create positive change in their lives and thereby in the lives of generations to come. Each of us, in our own small way, can all work together to make the whole world a better place!”
