My Story
I’m Stacie Joy. Most days you can find me in South Denver stretched out on my yoga mat, chasing after my 4-year-old daughter, or curled up with a good book while she sleeps. I’m pretty good at sneaking away for a few quiet minutes alone with the sunset, which helps settle me into the end of the day (bonus if I can get in a few yoga poses!). I love serving the world by sharing yoga with others that also struggle with anxiety and depression. It wasn’t until I started practicing to heal my own anxious mind that I began to understand the connection between our nervous system, our emotions, and how our bodies store trauma. I am most passionate about guiding others that struggle with emotional distress towards the healing capabilities that lie within our incredible bodies.
I've always struggled with managing my anxiety. Constantly in the background, it was always running at a low vibration, siphoning focus, and draining energy. With the inevitable insomnia and depression that tended to follow, I couldn't get my engine to slow down enough to catch my breath. It wasn't until I started exploring yoga that I began to find respite in the release and calm that flows after each session.
When I started practicing yoga, I began to notice how different I felt at the end of a class. It was a stark contrast to who I was when I walked onto my mat. It was as if I could unzip my anxious self, step out, and lay it down next to me. My nerves and my body would be so calm, and finally, I could think more clearly.
I could feel myself changing. What was this magic, and how could I share it with others who suffer like me? Yoga is just one tool in my toolbox that has helped me work through debilitating trauma and emotions, and it's a powerful one for sure. Trauma and emotional distress can have devastating effects on our bodies and minds. Since discovering this holistic approach on my journey to personal well being, I’ve developed a passion to help others find that same balance and relief.
I hope that through a tailored approach to therapeutic yoga, you will find refuge and experience the same type of renewal on your yoga mat.
You are wonderfully made!
