Biography

Stephani took her first yoga class from Baron Baptiste in the late 1990's at a local fitness convention, and immediately became hooked on yoga. She completed her 200 hour RYT in 2011, and her 500 hour RYT in 2018, both through YogaFit.  

Over the last thirty years while moving between Maryland and Michigan, Stephani has worked as a yoga instructor for corporate fitness facilities, community centers, public and private schools, fitness studios, and a country club.  She briefly became a co-owner of Nimaste Yoga in Kensington, MD from 2016-2019, and was accepted as a YogaFit Master trainer in 2022 after a two year apprenticeship. Most recently she discovered Sound Healing with crystal bowls and tuning forks, and completed her 100 hour Sound Healer Certificate through YogaFit in 2025.

Her favorite style is a slow vinyasa, but she has also led power yoga classes, heated yoga classes, yoga classes with weights, yin/restorative yoga, and classes for teens.  In her spare time she enjoys gardening, reading, walking her dogs, and spending time with her family.
