Stehpanie Ayres

Stephanie Ayres discovered the transformative power of Ashtanga Yoga in 2013, and since then, her passion for the practice has only continued to grow. Under the expert guidance of Amy Commander and certified Ashtanga instructors, she honed her skills over several years of dedicated practice, eventually deciding to share her experience with others as a teacher.

As Stephanie's practice deepened, so too did her understanding of the unique challenges that pregnancy can pose for expectant mothers. Drawing on her own experience of modifying her practice during pregnancy and postpartum, Stephanie is proud to offer guidance and support to other mothers-to-be. Whether in a group class or in private sessions, Stephanie's gentle and nurturing approach creates a safe space for expectant mothers to continue their practice and connect with their bodies and their babies.

As a lifelong learner, Stephanie is constantly seeking to expand her knowledge and deepen her practice. She recently completed an additional 300 hours of YTT, bringing her total to an impressive 500 hours. She is also exploring a new passion for Ayurveda, and has already incorporated many of its principles into her classes.

For Stephanie, the true beauty of Ashtanga Yoga lies in its ability to sustain us through all phases of life. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the practice, Stephanie welcomes students of all levels and backgrounds to join her on this journey of self-discovery and growth.
