Unplug and Reconnect–Nov. 17-19, 2023
Stacy Joslin
A proud Pittsburgh native, Stacy spent the last 20+ years in strategic operations, consulting and marketing before making a long-overdue left turn into wellness. She first earned certification as a functional medicine health coach, and opened Sunny Street Yoga not too long afterward. She’s been a yoga practitioner for over 25 years, and earned her RYT-500 teacher certification with the simply wonderful Asheville Yoga Center.
Stacy’s areas of focus as a teacher and coach are the connection of the breath to movement, the impact of a yoga practice on mental and emotional health, the synchrony of mind, body and spirit in wellbeing, and the study of pranayama and meditation. She is certified in trauma-informed yoga as well as mindfulness-based yoga and meditation modalities, and employs those tenets in her classes. In addition, she recently gained certification as a corporate wellness specialist, and hopes to bring the above concepts into more workplaces, where she believes they are sorely needed.
Stacy loves a good story and a corny joke, and you’ll see her employ both of those vehicles in class. She operates on the foundation that each yogi’s journey is unique and ever-evolving, that community is essential to wellness, and that love and laughter are wonderful medicines.
