Charles Stephens

California

I am a writer, 5F specialist, and yoga teacher cultivating a deeper connection with our soul's story and potential. Delving into spiral-based movement has revolutionised my personal practice, inspiring a tailored approach to every session. With 5F as my guide, I ensure each offering is practical, accessible, and uniquely tailored to individual needs.

As a yoga teacher and climate justice advocate, I care deeply about helping people develop sustainable relationships with movement. Drawing on over 500 hours of training and the Five Filaments framework, I support students in exploring spiral motion through practices that are accessible, adaptable, and grounded in curiosity rather than performance.

Laura Watt

Aberdeen, Scotland

As an Ashtanga student and a Vinyasa teacher, the Five Filaments Spiral Motion Rubric helps me bridge the gap between these two worlds while supporting my students to explore movement with curiosity and confidence. Spirality creates a foundation for play and deeper connection: enriching the yoga practice alongside everyday movement experiences.

My yoga classes blend functional movement for everyday life with gorgeous music. The Five Filaments inform my creative sequencing to expand possibilities beyond traditional yoga poses, where I help students find their flow.

5F changed my yoga practice and my classes. The connection with spiral fascial movements prepares us for a freer and more enjoyable asana practice. It is a turning point. And in my Yoga Anatomy classes, I can bring a more current and integrated approach.

Sophie Noonan

Bilbao, Basque Country

Sophie weaves in her 5f specialist training into her yoga classes. As a person fascinated in and by the body and all that lies under the skin, the chirality and spiral motion is an integral part of connecting with the individual development and movement of each person she works with.

Five Filaments has validated my experience in that "our tissue condition changes with maturity, and the natural constraints of spirality remain the same. My practice and class facilitation encourages respect for your body's inner logos and increasing one's "sukha" with a sense of wonderment.

Sophie intertwines her 5FS knowledge in her yoga teaching with her experience working with the disability and neurodiverse communities to focus on increasing the accessibility of traditional yogic practices. Sophie’s practice is person-centred and, as a 5FS, she strives to cultivate appropriate offerings at an individual level.

Samantha Mills

Taplow, UK

I use the 5F in my practice to create more fluidity in my movements and to act as an antidote to the linear pathways we live in. The 5F approach brings spirality into my practice to help me identify areas that are tight from this linear way of living and give me the tools to unwind these areas so that I feel more fluid and at ease in my body.

The 5F approach has changed my personal yoga practice. In my classes I insert mini snacks during practice allowing the participants to engage in 5F and experientially feel the benefit. I’m looking forward to introducing a stand-alone 5F class.
