Stephanie stelly

Stephanie graduated with a  bachelors degree in Psychology from Southeastern Louisiana University in 2017. Soon after, she started practicing yoga & fell in love with the way it made her feel comfortable in her own body. She earned her Yoga teacher training certification in the spring of 2019 at Yoga Bliss in Baton Rouge. Her 200 hr YTT primarily focused on assisting and sequencing in vinyasa flow based on the Ashtanga and Jivamukti lineages. She held a teaching spot at Yoga Bliss, Leela Yoga Lifestyle, and founded the Baton Rouge Yoga Nation, where she taught alongside and managed rotating teachers at many outdoor locations in Baton Rouge. She completed her 25 hr Restorative Yoga certification right before moving to New Orleans at Church of Yoga in 2020. In addition to her experience with yoga, her psychology background also gained her five years experience working with children with autism.

She started working at Swan River in the work study program, now known as the Seva Krewe. She was then asked to start substituting classes and eventually landed her own permanent spot on the weekly teaching schedule. She now manages the Seva Krewe and has since attended trainings in the beginning levels of Ayurveda, Sound Therapy, Reiki, and Thai Yoga Therapy and Assisted Stretching. Her classes are heavily influenced by all of the amazing teachers she has been blessed with at Swan River. She believes that you are only as great a teacher as you are a student and loves being a member of this beautiful community. She cannot wait to see what the future has in store for her personal growth & expansion. Living consciously is the greatest blessing!
