About that Chris Stookes...

I am a Yoga Therapist, Teacher, and Health Coach. I have been practicing yoga forever but teaching yoga for over 15 years in yoga studios, community, private,  educational, and corporate settings. My yoga therapy is delivered on a one to one basis or in small groups. My notable collaborations include: NHS, Kent County Council, Hilton Hotel Group, Chatham Grammar School For Girls and Brompton Academy.


I am passionate in the belief that yoga can change our life on so many levels and in many ways. Yoga, in one form or another is suitable for everyone regardless of age, shape, size, mobility or flexibility. I originally took up yoga to compliment a haphazard running career, however, I was completely taken with the practice as a holistic approach for well-being.  

 

A very innovative manager once asked if I thought "yoga would be beneficial for the young people we worked with?" Yup, I got myself trained... Alongside a deep immersion Yoga Teacher Training in India, I trained in Ashtanga Yoga, Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Yoga for Autism. Yoga Therapy, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra. 


My additional career path and academic studies have included my time as chef in London and Paris for sixteen years, teaching cookery in Essex. I once owned a beautiful restaurant in the City of Southend.

I worked in both the voluntary and statutory sector in a range of social welfare settings. I worked in criminal justice for far more years than I care to recall. I am a trained teacher, youth worker, level 2 gym instructor and have a couple of degrees.

In 2018 I overcame bladder cancer (there's a blog about that). There is a book I have been writing forever, I retired once, but foolishly opened up a yoga studio down by the creek! Covid put pay to that.


After a joyous spell of working in at my beloved Leeds castle, I now find myself privileged to be temporarily working for the NHS as a Health & Well-being Coach.


By far the biggest challenge with yoga is maintaining a personal practice. It's hard to regularly get on your mat life just gets busy and we might struggle to get into the right head space. 


It is a huge privilege and so completely humbling to teach yoga in all its various guises, to be in 'that space' and see how people grow in their yoga practice. I absolutely know, and rather like that I'm not everyone's cup of tea and of course other teachers are always available.


The relationship we have with food, diet and nutrition is fundamental to our health and well being. Today, the western diet does not serve us well. I am grateful for my teachings on how to cook food properly. I have learnt that with care, compassion, self-love and a knowledge of how to manage our diet, our triggers and cravings we can bring about a deep satisfaction and improved health.


I practice a person centred therapeutic approach and have had many successful associations with people living with physical and psychological conditions.

What Students Have To Say

Denise & David

Private Session Students

We have been attending classes, one2one lessons and retreats with Chris for some years now. If you are thinking about starting yogo, he is the teacher for you. Patient, handoff, but very very mindful. Come join us!

Michael

Group Class Participant

Attending Chris' group yoga classes has been a wonderful experience for me. His expertise in guiding us through various poses with proper alignment has significantly improved my flexibility and strength. I feel more energized and focused throughout the day. Chris creates a supportive and inclusive environment that makes every class enjoyable.

Ava

Online Yoga Student

Being a busy professional, Chris' online yoga classes have been a lifesaver for me. The convenience of practicing yoga from my own space while receiving Chris' expert guidance has been amazing. I have noticed a positive shift in my overall well-being - physically and mentally. Chris' teaching style is calming and encouraging, making each session a rejuvenating experience.
