Donald’s awakening into the world of yoga began 7 years ago when he started the study of Transcendental Meditation under Carol Maher. During this time Donald also dabbled in Reiki and singing bowl healing as a Reiki Master. Next came the physical practice… Donald began with Bikram before journeying into Iyengar, Ashtanga and Yin yoga.

Vortex Performance Sports

My running and sports passion started at the age of 16 in Europe, where I was determined to prove wrong a spiteful P.E. teacher who told me that I couldn’t run. I succeeded, and finished second in the cross-country race. From there on, running became a passion of mine; successfully competing in different run & sports disciplines from cross-country to marathons, nationally and internationally. After moving from France to the USA in 2001, I competed USA-wide in duathlons and triathlons, and it was there, while looking for a “better” way to run in Duathlons, that I finally learned about ChiRunning in 2005.

Stella Chambers

BodyMindLife, Hom Yoga, Elixr Park Street

With a love and a practice of yoga that spans more than a decade and a half, Stella decided to become a teacher in 2005 to share this passion with others! She is now a 500hour registered Yoga Teacher after having completed both Levels 1 and 2 of study with internationally renowned teachers of vinyasa, power & yin yoga. She first came to the mat after enrolling in a 6 week beginners course with her mum - 6 weeks came and went, her mum didn't return but something had been ignited in Stella! The calm feeling and centred place she discovered with yoga helped to shift the anxiety and depression that had been a close neighbour for most of her life - and was also to be her saving grace as she held down a fast paced day job as a National Publicist in the music industry during the day, and...
