About Stacie-Saraswati
Author and Certified Yoga Instructor
Stacie was taken to yoga ashrams and raised vegetarian since birth. Her own hatha yoga practice started in high school in 1993 due to an injury and continued as healing occurred from a simple daily yoga practice. The physical benefits and mental peace it brought were life changing.
The journey continued as she took her first teacher training in 1995 at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram in Canada. Given the name Saraswati, (Goddess of the Arts and Learning) she returned to her college dorm to share the teachings with others and has continued ever since.
Stacie is an author of a book out in 2012 called: "SunLight Chair Yoga: Yoga is for Everyone" and created and leads SunLight Chair Yoga Teacher Trainings in CA, FL, NM and the Sivananda Yoga Ashram in CA and Bahamas.
Certifications: Sivananda Certified Yoga Instructor, Gentle Integral Yoga Instructor, Kundalini Yoga Instructor as taught by Yogi Bhajan and Prenatal Khalsa Way Yoga Instructor
Other Trainings: B.A. in Religious Studies, Advanced Studies Program at the Iyengar Institute of San Francisco, Rodney Yee, Yoga Journal and High Desert Yoga Teacher Trainings
It is her joy to share this sacred yet practical art with others and see lives improve. For more details on Stacie's yoga journey click here: 'My Life Yoga' or on 'The Yoga Diaries'.
