Instructor: Stacy Meadows (RYT-200)

Stacy Meadows (RYT-200) rediscovered yoga in 2001. As a latchkey kid, she recalls spending many an afternoon watching Lilias! Yoga & You, with Lilias Folan on PBS. Her favorite childhood poses were Tree & Plow. Throughout her life she has remembered & used the relaxation practice learned while watching Lilias. Influenced by co-workers, she finally found yoga again as an adult after suffering from knee & back injuries associated with running. She has studied primarily at Health Advantage Yoga Center (HAYC), in Herndon, Virginia with Susan Van Nuys & Doug Keller and has completed introductory workshops on Meditation, Yoga Nidra, Marma Yoga Therapy, and Chakras. She has also studied with Betsey Downing as part of HAYC's guest weekend series, and with Judith Lasater completing Introductory Restorative Yoga and The Vertebral Column: Anatomy, Asana, & Therapeutics workshops. In 2010, Stacy completed HAYC's intensive 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training & obtained her yoga instructor certification as a registered yoga teacher (RYT200) through the Yoga Alliance (www.yogaalliance.org). She has also studied Reiki Jin Ki Do with Reiki Master Gilbert Gallego & is a certified 2nd Degree Reiki practitioner. Stacy is committed to a lifetime of practice and bringing knowledge and exploration of yoga asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, energy & mantra healing and the benefits of yoga to others.
