About Stap & Stretch
Step into the landscape. Stretch your horizons.
Embedded Files
I'm Russell, and I've called this place home since 2019.
Stap & Stretch grew from my love of this landscape and the simple joy of spending time outdoors — walking, taking photographs and noticing both the small details and the bigger beauty of the mountains, waterfalls, rivers and woodlands that make this place special.
My background is in photography, videography and yoga, but my real inspiration comes from living close to nature and learning to appreciate it.
I enjoy sharing the landscape at a pace that suits the people I’m with — sometimes taking our time to notice the small things, and sometimes picking up the pace when there’s somewhere special to reach. The pace is adjusted to the group, so there's room to enjoy the journey while still getting where we're going.
Whether we're walking beside the river, heading into the mountains or practising yoga beneath the open sky, the idea is simple:
Move at your pace. Explore. Connect with nature.
That's Stap & Stretch.
A little about me
My work has always been connected to people, places and the outdoors. I've spent years working in photography, videography and broadcast production, and I'm also a qualified yoga teacher.
Living in this special place has brought all of these interests together in a much simpler way. Here, I spend my time exploring the mountains and rivers, practising yoga, taking photographs, working in the garden and learning more about the natural world around me.
Whether we're walking a mountain trail or practising yoga beside the river, the experience is shaped around the people sharing it. Sometimes all you need is a comfortable pair of shoes, a little curiosity and an open mind.
