Along her journey, Stacy gained knowledge and insight that Yoga is about getting rid of the mirrors and judgment of how you look, turning down the music so you can hear your breath and getting connected to how you feel. It’s about working the body intelligently, holistically with balance and feeling. The by-product of a regular yoga practice is a lean, strong flexible body, a calm mind and a connection to the deepest and most profound part of your inner self.
Armed with this knowledge, a daily practice of yoga and meditation and passion for helping others, she shares her education and experience around the world. A gifted and inspirational teacher, Stacy has adopted a more balanced approach of self-acceptance and moderation and realized that being healthy is not defined by the number of hours you workout or the amount of calories you eat, but by the joy and fullness of your life physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
