Hello, my name is Stephanie....welcome to my website,

Here's some background information about me and In*Balanced*Harmony... 

On Yoga, Thai, RH: I hold a BA in Education and I'm an experienced NJ K-8 certified teacher. I received a Yoga Teacher certification through Integrative Yoga Therapy (IYT) in 2003 and a Children's Yoga Teacher certification based in the Anusara style through OM Shree OM in 2005. I received a Thai Yoga Bodywork basic certification in 2003 through Thai Yoga Healing Arts, continued my studies and completed to the advanced certification level in 2008. I first learned about Reconnective Healing from watching The Living Matrix and then read Dr. Pearl's book. I attended Dr. Pearl's training in Nov. 2009 where I received a Reconnective Healing practitioner certification. 

In teaching yoga, it is my goal to impart to my students a sense of enthusiasm, curiosity, and acceptance towards their practice. I try to share the elements of yoga which have most held my attention, and which have helped me to feel optimistic about myself, others, and the world at large. My own practice has evolved into a complete commitment to living with the principles of yoga. 

On Feng Shui: My interest in Feng Shui began at an early age, long before I had ever heard of it. As a child I was constantly re-arranging the furniture, my shelves, my clothes and tossing out what was no long important to me. When I'd finally get it so it felt just right, I'd stop. Until something new was added then I'd start all over again. It wasn't until 2005 when I began to seriously study Feng Shui that my "moving my stuff" habit made sense. This then spilled over into my life long love of gardening in 2008. While I'm not an expert horticulturist, but an amateur gardener, applying the techniques of Feng Shui are fundamental to bringing this art/science into your whole environment. 

As an added note to my Feng Shui background, I have had a home sewing business most of my life. This began back in high school and continues to this day having sewn for many satisfied customers. I have also had the pleasure of doing many free-lance projects for several talented interior designers. Most noted, my handy-work was shown in a Morristown "Mansion in May" designer show-house back 1990's. 

Now I have combined my love of yoga and several healing modalities...our inner-self...with my love of creating a balanced supportive environment...our outer-self...into what I call "In Balanced Harmony".

A few years back I was told: "You are the stillness they speak of when they refer to deep water."  I realized that finding the balanced stillness within had always been my focus in life.  Each of us needs to find that place of presence and stillness everyday to bring about balance and harmony into our lives. It is our connection to one another and to the Universe. As John Friend says...step into the flow of Grace. It is my goal to bring this practice of presence to our inner and outer environments, be nourished by positive chi, and to find our own inner stillness.  I also try to pass on to others what my many, many teachers have taught me with love, gratitude and as much creativity, positive encouragement, laughter and joy as I can.

I offer my humble gratitude to those many amazing teachers who have guided my practice and my education over the years; most notably: Jonas Westring, John Friend, Chara Calderone, John Levis, Eric Pearl and Grandmaster Lin Yun. 

With love and gratitude,

Namaste'
Stephanie

or walking a trail, nature has a way of amazing and astonishing
us every day. We only need to stop for a moment and listen."
