Stephanie came to Western Colorado 15 years ago, after a stint on the front range, after growing up with a good old fashioned midwest grounded upbringing in Lincoln, Nebraska. With this move many new experiences opened up to Stephanie, including a great love of the mountains and all the adventure and beauty they bring. Another important passion started as well, which was bringing yoga into her life. Since then, life has included yoga festivals, classes in variety of styles of yoga, a home practice and eventually a Prana Vinyasa 200 Hour Teacher Training Certification with Monica Mesa from Yoga for the Peaceful. She’s excited to help spread the benefits of yoga to our regional community, especially with the youth population that can build a strong foundation at an early time to truly make a positive impact. What better time to learn? She believes in the power of combining the physical challenge of yoga with mindfulness can only take us all t o a more positive place! When not on her mat, Stephanie is Director of Business Operations for two regional nonprofits, where she is excited to have yet another avenue for bringing positive experiences and knowledge to our community! Her greatest motivator and love is her two daughters. Every way she can help guide their adventures is a blessing and brings such joy to life, they are her greatest gift! She cherishes experience on the mat, the mountains, the water…anything that gets her body moving and appreciating the great outdoor beauty we live in! She looks forward to incorporating more yoga into adventure travels in the future, best of both worlds! She is full of gratitude for it all!!!
