Stacey loves to witness the process of awakening that occurs for those who practice yoga. Yoga requires diligence, dedication, and devotion with consistent practice. A journey of elevating one's awareness and consciousness by aligning our spiritual selves in the present moment with clarity, purpose, and surrender. For Stacey yoga means going with the flow, breathing deeply, moving freely, living joyfully, shining radiantly, and celebrating community.
