She loves working on an individual basis with students to address specific concerns.

While living and teaching in the San Francisco Area, she also ran her company, To-Go Ware and worked with Yoga Journal Magazine as a yoga model and as their sustainability blogger. These days, when not chasing her 3 children around, Stephanie teaches alignment focused classes that encourage self-inquiry, breathwork and mindfulness.
