ABOUT STACY

She is an experienced registered yoga teacher, and completed her 200 hour and 300 hour certifications at Yogaview in Chicago. She has additional certifications in Yoga Therapeutics and Restorative Yoga and has studied and been influenced by many lineages including Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Iyengar and Yin. Stacy teaches Vinyasa flow that is rooted in thoughtful sequencing and alignment, conscious movement and breath awareness. She creatively blends her love of music and dynamic sequencing to provide a well-balanced movement experience that is challenging yet accessible and fun. It is her priority to create a space for each student to listen to their own system and be guided by their internal awareness and body's wisdom.
