In addition to yoga, Stella Rae has experience apprenticing as a bodywork practitioner and views care as an essential component of collective well-being. Her intention is to support students and clients in developing a compassionate and healing relationship with themselves, carrying the insights and tools gained through practice into their daily lives.

Having navigated her own mental health challenges, Stella Rae has experienced firsthand the transformative power of yoga in cultivating clarity, steadiness, and inner strength. Off the mat, Stella Rae is a filmmaker, poet, and teaching artist. Creativity, collaboration, and community are at the heart of everything she does.
