✨️Teacher Spotlight✨️

This is Stacie! You may know her as the one who makes you sweat in a juicy vinyasa or jammin' sculpt. We asked her some questions to get to know her more!

🔥What do you hope your students feel when they practice with you?

I hope my students feel safe, supported, and accepted exactly as they are. My goal is to create a space where they can reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and leave feeling stronger, calmer, and more empowered than when they arrived.

🔥Where are you from?

I’m from El Centro, California.

🔥What teachers have inspired you in your practice and yoga journey?

I’ve been inspired by every teacher who has led with authenticity, compassion, and a genuine love for sharing yoga. Their ability to create inclusive, supportive spaces has shaped the kind of teacher I strive to be.

Wow, Stacie, you rock!

Come move with her every Monday at 6 pm for warm Vinyasa, Wednesdays at 4:30 pm for warm Sculpt, Thursdays at 6 pm for warm Sculpt, and Saturdays at 1 pm for warm Sculpt.

See you in the studio!

Meet Olivia! Olivia is one of our newest Balanced Yogi teachers and we are beyond stoked to have her! We asked a few questions to get to know her more.

🪶What do you hope your students feel when they practice with you?

I want my students to feel connected to themselves. In today’s world we are closely connected to everyone and everything that we lose our clarity of our truth and sense of who we are. I want to encourage others to know themselves and be confident in who they are.

🪶Where are you from?

I was born and raised on Long Island, New York, but my roots originate from Hawaii. My mom and her mother and her grandmother were born and raised there. I feel at home when I visit and carry that spirit within my practice.

🪶What teachers have inspired you in your practice and yoga journey?

I went deep into my practice when I lived in Los Angeles. I feel truly grateful to have practiced under Rebekah Grace Rivera, Yancy Schwartz, and Meredith Meyer. Their teachings are powerful and wise. I wouldn’t be where I am today without their inspiring words.

What an inspiration you are to us 🌸
Come practice with Olivia on Saturday's for Vinyasa at 10 am.

See you on the mat!

Take it from the ones who did it. 🤍

If YTT has even crossed your mind, take the step.

For the community.
For a deeper practice.
To teach.
Or simply to discover what more this practice has to offer you.

We’re getting CLOSE, and there’s still time to join us.

These girls are saying it too… do it. You won’t regret it.

Atma Vriddhi YTT begins this September. ✨
Applications are open — link in bio.

Meet Michelle! She has been a part of The Balanced Yogi from the beginning and we couldn't be happier to feature her and get to know her more!

🐉 What do you hope your students feel when they practice with you?

I hope students leave feeling more grounded, steady, and connected to themselves. My intention is to create a supportive space where people can move with awareness, build confidence, and feel at home in their bodies.

🐉 Where are you from?

I’m originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and have been living in California for over a decade. Growing up near the ocean and spending many years surfing shaped my relationship with movement and continue to influence the way I teach today.

🐉 What teachers have inspired you in your practice and yoga journey?
I have been practicing yoga for over fifteen years. What began as a personal journey of self-discovery later deepened in college, where I studied Hatha Yoga and developed a deeper appreciation for the connection between movement, breath, and self-awareness.

My foundational teacher training comes from the Kest Yoga lineage. I have continued my studies through Bhakti Yoga with Janet Stone and traditional Ashtanga Yoga, including study in Mysore, India, under the guidance of Sharath Jois. More recently, earning my degree in Kinesiology has further shaped the way I teach by deepening my understanding of movement science and anatomy.

Wow, Michelle, you are an inspiration and we are so blessed to know you and learn with you!

Catch Michelle Tuesday evenings for a Candlelight Vinyasa at 7:30 pm!

✨️Teacher Spotlight✨️

Meet Amelia! This lady can light up any room with her kind soul and we are excited to feature her so everyone can get to know her more 💕

🪽 What do you hope your students feel when they practice with you?

I hope my students feel connected to their minds and bodies, grounded in their experience, inspired by the joy of movement, and a sense of belonging within a community. My intention is that when they leave my class, they have a greater capacity to be present and show up for themselves and the people around them. I love that yoga creates space for everyone’s unique experiences and encourages people to tune inward and connect with themselves. I hope each student feels supported, accepted, and welcomed
as they are.

🪽 Where are you from?

I grew up in Oakland, California, and have been living in San Diego for the past three years. I love San Diego and all it has to offer—from the beautiful beaches and hikes to the wonderful people!

🪽 What teachers have inspired you in your practice and yoga journey?

I fell in love with yoga through the guidance of so many incredible teachers along the way. Their passion, creativity, and dedication continue to inspire me, and I am constantly learning from the community around me.

We are so stoked to have Amelia on our team.

Come flow with her Fridays at 6 PM Vinyasa
