Yoga

Yoga at Stepping Stones is different.

It’s a practice that meets you where you are, designed not to demand more from your body, but to nurture it.

A practice of coming home

In these classes, I invite you to gently explore what it feels like to be in your body, to follow the rhythm of your breath, and to notice the subtle shifts that happen when you give yourself time to pause. This practice is about coming home to yourself, not achieving shapes or striving for complexity.

You won’t find pretzel poses here.

What you will find is the right kind of yoga for you — a nurturing, spacious practice that meets you where you’re at, honours your nervous system, and supports you to feel safe and at ease.

Group Classes

I teach small, restorative group classes where you are supported to arrive exactly as you are. There is no expectation to perform, push, or perfect — just space to slow down, soften, and reconnect.

What to Expect

Each class is an opportunity to explore:

  • Gentle movement

  • Restorative postures

  • Mindful breath

  • Embodied awareness

  • The therapeutic benefits of slowing down

My approach

I believe each student is their own best teacher. My role is to guide, hold space, and offer practices that support your healing, self-compassion, and reconnection.

My training includes 350 hours in Traditional Hatha, along with additional training in Yoga Therapy, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga for Anxiety, Depression, Body Image and Trauma, and pre- and post-natal yoga. You can find the full list of my training here.

Yoga Feedback

Attending Hayley’s yoga class I felt relaxed straight away because of her calm, kind and welcoming presence. I could feel straight away that there were no pretensions in the class and that I was accepted for who I am. I have attended many yoga classes in the past where it felt like people were comparing each other and how well they could practice yoga. I did not feel this in Hayley’s class and it was a welcome change. I found I was able to truly embrace yoga for the first time because of the lovely atmosphere Hayley created.

What can I say other than you have to experience a class with Hayley! Having never done yoga before I was blessed that Hayley introduced me to the true essence of yoga. I now practice yoga daily which keeps my anxiety away.

Danielle

Hayley provides a safe, authentic and nurturing yoga space. The restorative class was something I have never experienced before. I felt amazing afterwards - this feeling went on for days. I would highly recommend Hayley’s classes.
