Vinyasa Yoga is a truly holistic system of fitness and wellness, incorporating dynamic postures, movement, breath and meditation. This form of yoga offers a range of health benefits as it encompasses both mind and body, building up heat in the body to cleanse and detox.

I have been attending Stella's yoga classes since 2004 and am convinced that they have helped me in a number of ways: I used to suffer from chronic pain in my right knee and struggled with stairs but today have little more than the occasional twinge.
