Stephanie (Saraswati Astra Veda)
Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, Stephanie’s sacred path with yoga began in 2014 with a hot yin class. Her foundation is built on deep devotion: supporting her husband and son, honoring her body through physical therapist studies, and drawing strength from her mentor, Mikki Proffitt—her beloved, wise elder and sovereign medicine woman.
During seven transformative years in Henderson, Nevada, yoga became her sanctuary. Amidst the heavy shadows of grief and family addiction, her mat was her altar where her spirit found breath, space, and the courage to take a leap of faith back home.

Completing her RYT-200 training at Mystic Monkey Yoga in Port Townsend, WA, under Jason Calsyn, Julia Buggy, and Jenn Miranda, she honors Julia as a luminous spiritual catalyst and her longtime friend Sydney Salazar as a true way-shower.

Now calling the Blue Mountain area home, Stephanie anchors her life in her spiritual craft, yin and yang balance, and a profound love of gardening and tending the living earth. As a mother, her calling is to share health, holistic wellness, and conscious movement. Her classes weave anatomical precision with a soulful invitation: to discover the perfect balance between the sacred softness of surrender and the fierce fire of being fully alive.

Namaste 🙏
