Instructors
Stacy Sinclair
Stacy has always had a passion for health and she believes a positive well-rounded outlook is a key to maintaining balance in mind, body, and spirit. In 2006, she graduated with a Remedial Massage Therapy Diploma. She loves doing massage but she started to feel restricted in the ways she could connect with people. In 2012, she received her 200-hour teacher training certification, and that one small decision completely shifted her life. Stacy is so grateful for all of the wisdom she has gained from this magical journey and she remains a consistent student of the yogic practice.
