A competitive gymnast for 10 years, Stephanie is no stranger to movement. She was introduced to yoga in 2009 and was drawn to it immediately. After practicing regularly for 3 years, she began Crossfit and yoga fell by the wayside. Eventually, the weight-lifting and intense cardio began to wear on her body and tighten her muscles. She knew where she needed to go. She sought out a yoga studio and began to practice again, this time with new purpose – releasing stress, taking care of her body, and re-connecting with herself.
In 2015, Stephanie trained in Cahuita Costa Rica at Marianne Wells Yoga School and received her 200 hour teaching certification. Since teacher training, Stephanie has taught students from all walks of life- weightlifting athletes, competitive gymnasts, seasoned yoga practitioners, high school baseball players, yoga newbies, and more.
Stephanie’s yoga teaching philosophy comes from her background in gymnastics and is inspired by her passion for functional fitness. Her classes focus on utilizing the body in ways it was meant to be used; moving your joints, muscles, and ligaments in all possible directions and ranges is something our bodies have forgotten how to do in our sedentary, stuck-behind-the-desk society.
Her movement motto- “Your body gets better at what you do with it. If the answer is nothing, then it gets better at doing just that.”
