STELLA BILLEREY

Stella teaches 1-2-1 yoga for Addiction & Anxiety alongside Asana, Pranayama and Family Yoga sessions. Yoga for Addiction sees all addictions as an anxiety disorder, seeing addiction through the lenses of trauma, abuse and shame. While Stella appreciates the strength that yoga asana brings internally and externally she is more interested in how the practice combats the duality that is perceived to exist in our society between mind and body and the profound benefits the practice has on the central nervous system.

‘Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair,

but manifestations of strength and resolution.’

 Kahlil Gibran

Stella believes yoga is for EVERYBODY. Expect creative and mindful sequences that will connect you to your body. Stella first discovered yoga when she was a child as a warm-up in dance class. Little did she know that it was going to be such an important part of her life. Upon returning from travelling to India, Stella decided to train as a teacher and in 2016 gained her 200-hour YTT with Yoga London. Stella is very much in touch with her inner child and is a qualified Rainbow Kid’s teacher and has worked with children since 2017. Stella will complete her level 2, 500-hour teacher training with Julie Martin 2019-2020. Stella knows that Yoga was a driving force in overcoming ten years of chaos and destructive addictions; this motivated Stella to study 60 hours of Yoga for Addiction and Anxiety in 2019 with Carolyn Cowan. Yoga for Addiction sees all addictions as an anxiety disorder, seeing addiction through the lenses of trauma, abuse and shame. While Stella appreciates the strength that yoga asana brings internally and externally, she is more interested in how the practice combats the duality perceived to exist in our society between mind and body and the profound benefits the practice has on the central nervous system. Stella is currently studying for a Masters in Occupational Therapy; her hope is to combine yogic principles with clinical practices to help patients with both physical and mental illness. Stella teaches a non-dogmatic style, less concerned with what the practice looks like and more curious about sensation as experienced. You can expect an emphasis on relaxation, breath, body acceptance and awareness, intuitive and mindful movement.
