Our Instructor Spotlight is Stephanie! 💫🙌🏻👏🎊
When Stephanie entered the Exhale Room at Breathe Yoga in March of 2018, she had absolutely no idea how that beautiful space would change the trajectory of her life. What she did know was that the space “just felt like home.” Through all the ups and downs—and many hard-learned lessons—she says she wouldn’t change a single thing. “Everything happened exactly like it should to arrive where we are today, and the place we are in is nothing short of inspirational.”
Stephanie has been teaching yoga since 2015 and feels like she is always discovering something new that adds depth to her approach. When she’s not at Bloom, she is in her 25th year of teaching high school students. “Since I was little, I remember feeling called to teach. I find it truly rewarding.” Teaching yoga, she says, carries a different kind of meaning. “I have the opportunity to witness transformation in each student’s journey, and that is something I never take for granted.”
When asked about her favorite style of yoga, Stephanie shared that it often changes depending on what she needs most. “I’m really loving our heated classes right now, especially the 26&2. I never thought I would connect with a hatha practice in this way, but it’s really resonating with me—probably because we have such incredible instructors.”
What continues to inspire Stephanie most is the Bloom community. She speaks often about the energy in the rooms, and creating a space that feels both grounding and uplifting. “There is something really special about what we’ve built. It’s more than just a place to practice, it’s a place to belong.”
As both a teacher and owner, Stephanie’s intention has always been to create a space where people feel seen, supported, and welcome exactly as they are. Whether someone is stepping onto their mat for the first time or has been practicing for years, she hopes each person leaves feeling just a little more connected, to themselves and to something bigger.
Outside of the studio, Stephanie enjoys time with her family, traveling, and continuing to learn and grow—both as a teacher and as a student. When asked what she hopes students feel when they walk through the doors of Bloom, her answer is simple: “That they’re home.”
A little more about Stephanie
What brings you back to your mat: "Life! My mat has been one of the most consistent things in my life over the past 15 years. It's always ready when I am. It gives me the same feeling I get when I walk into my childhood home. It is one of my favorite safe places."
When in life do you feel like you bloom: "When I rebranded Breathe Yoga to Bloom. All the things I've had to learn on this journey and showing myself that I can do hard things. Finding a way to balance my career, family and passion for a meaningful and genuine yoga community while also learning to let down some of my walls and depend on others has been life changing. "
What is your favorite thing about Bloom Yoga Studio: "Community is very important to me wherever I go, but the Bloom community is stellar. I have never felt this loved and supported (outside my family). I am beyond grateful and just plain proud everytime I watch this very special, growing group of people come together to love or help another human or cause."
