Stephanie started practicing Yoga in 1996 as a purely asana practice. It wasn't until she found Beloved Yoga in 2009 that she began to explore the full depth of the practice. She completed her 200HR teacher training at Beloved in 2016 and her 500HR TT in 2021. She mentored with Aly MacLatchy and discovered the joy of sharing her Yoga practice with fellow practitioners. Maryam Ovissi continues to be a major influence on her teaching style and an inspiration in general.
Stephanie teaches a strenuous flow style of Yoga where the focus is on aligning breath with slow movements, holding asanas and moving with awareness. She truly believes that there is a Yoga class that will suit every person and that Yoga can help each practitioner find the tools they need to live in harmony with their body, their mind and their emotions. She often counsels practitioners to try multiple styles of Yoga until they find the one that resonates deeply in them.
Yoga is not a practice for the flexible, it is a practice to gain flexibility in the body and resiliency in the mind.
Stephanie also loves exploring the world with her family and her dog, Peyton, through travel, food, hiking, books and film.
