At Serene Yoga Studio, studying the yoga actions has allowed me to move inward on my yoga journey. This action based yoga has deepened my awareness to my inner being, where, like a warrior, I have discovered confidence and courage to move forward to reach my potential in a relaxed manner.

My yoga story began with self exploration and healing. I have come to realize that the years of different yoga practices eventually led me to my commitment of the teacher training program. Practicing asana is one thing, but coming to understand the true essence that all of the word Yoga encompasses is truly another.
Yoga is really a way of life. It is a union of mind, body and spirit in every way imaginable. The teacher training program has deepened my growth to better understand this. I take away from it much more knowledge and awareness of myself than I thought possible. As I have learned about the eight limbs of yoga I find I have been able to go with the flow of life in a much greater depth and capacity.

When I joined Serene Yoga Studio, I was immediately welcomed by Stacy and the staff. After taking courses at the studio for a year, I joined the 200 hour teacher training program. The training has helped me deepen my practice and prepare to teach beginners in the future. I now have the confidence and skill to teach yoga actions while sharing my love of yoga with others. The instructors in the training program are extremely knowledgeable. They are passionate about yoga, and it shows in how they guide us thoughtfully through the course content! I have just over one year left in the training program and am excited to continue as part of the Serene Yoga community!

I’ve been practicing Yoga with Stacy for approximately 5 years and I always feel at home when I enter the studio. I have been to other larger studios but they have never been as personal and supportive as Serene is. Stacy personally supports my yoga practice with individual attention during asana as well as realigning and modifying my position when needed due to injury etc. Philosophy of Yoga and mindful meditation are usually a part of each class at Serene Yoga Studio which I also appreciate immensely.
Stacy has created a team of instructors that have the same approach as hers to teaching Yoga – a kind, personal and individualized approach. The classes are small in size so that individual attention can be given to all. The studio itself has quiet river views and its cleanliness is very much appreciated. I also love that there are a variety of different types of classes with a good choice of times.

I have now been practising restorative yoga for about 6 months and I cannot believe the difference it has made in my everyday life. I started because I was losing flexibility and strength. I also had an ongoing skin problem on my arms, legs and hands and a 'wonky' knee, which made it necessary for me to be careful how I used it, especially on stairs.
I was amazed at how quickly I felt the results. After only one session, my always over-heated body started cooling down and in a short time my skin problem simply dissappeared. My flexibility and strength have improved steadily - a simple thing like shoulder checking while driving feels so different! And one day during a class, I felt a slight pop in my knee when I was getting into a pose and whatever had been misaligned was now corrected.
I had always thought that I wasn't athletic enough for yoga but found out very quickly that yoga is for everyone. The hands-on approach with the students makes such a difference, whether they are beginners like me or have been practising for years. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner!
