MSW, E-RYT, Usui Holy Fire Reiki Grand Master/Teacher, Trauma Recovery Specialist

Stefanie has been a dedicated and heartfelt yogini for 20 years and completed her Yoga Teacher Training through YogaWorks-Santa Monica (tm) in May 2017.

Since graduating, Stefanie was initiated into the path of Kriya Yoga (Ananda Michigan) and Heart-Based Meditation (tm) via New World Ayurveda (tm) and has completed numerous certifications in the areas of Yin Yoga with Lynne Baum, Trauma Informed Yoga with the Connection Coalition/Jennifer Cousineau, Adaptive Yoga (with Diane Bondy) Yoga Thai Bodywork (with Michael McCarthy), and iRest (tm) Yoga Nidra (Dr. Richard Miller).

Stefanie’s teaching style is very down to Earth and unassuming- her teaching focus is on the subtler/therapeutic practices after her own practice and teaching was sidelined to recover from a Traumatic Brain Injury in late 2021. Now that she’s back and actively teaching, it is her mission to be of service to those living with traumatic brain injuries as well as their support systems.

She began her yoga therapy program in August 2023.

Stefanie’s Teaching Schedule

• Tuesdays at 7:15 p.m.- Somatic Hatha Yoga (studio only)

• Fridays at 9:15 a.m. - Better Backs (studio + virtual)
