JayaStacie is a spiritual person, a devoted Christian and a seasoned Yogi. However, it wasn't until a work related injury that she discovered the true healing powers of yoga. It became her new way of life.
Stacie completed her 200 RYT Teacher Training through the residential Integral Yoga Academy at the Satchidananda Ashram in Yogaville, VA. Stacie was gifted the Sanskrit name “Jaya” which means the victorious one. Jaya has attended and staffed workshops offered at Yogaville.
