Stella Rae Binion

Stella Rae Binion is a Chicago native currently training to be a YTT yoga teacher through Moksha Yoga. First exposed to yoga in her teens, yoga has been a part of Stella’s life through many seasons as a foundation in navigating emotional regulation. Stella Rae’s personal practice is rooted in Vinyasa and Yin style yoga, and she has recently become a student of Astanga after joining the Moksha community. As a teacher, Stella works to cultivate a grounded and meditative environment that helps support students regulate their nervous systems and feel powerful in their bodies. With a deep focus on breathe, she moves slow and steady to allow attention to turn inward. Meditation is a key component in every class.

Stella Rae has experience apprenticing as a bodywork practitioner and centers care as key to collective wellness. Her intention is to support all of her students and body work clients in building a healthy and healing relationship with themselves so that they can step off the mat into daily life and continue the work of healing with more tools and resources. Struggling with mental health over the yeas, she herself has found yoga key to cultivating mental clarity and fortitude.

Off the yoga mat, Stella Rae is a filmmaker, poet, and teaching artist — collaboration and community are central to all parts of her life.
