Welcome to Heart and Wings Yoga
-
Is the busy-ness of life taking a toll on your relationships?
-
Are past hurts and heartaches keeping you from embarking on a new relationship journey?
- Are fears keeping you from creating the relationships you desire?
-
Is the unsteadiness or tension in your relationships impacting the other areas of your life?
The practices of yoga can support you with all of the above and so much more! Yoga is an ancient practice that is as applicable today as it was generations ago.
Come as you are to practice yoga. It supports you in the busy-ness, the transitions, the ups and downs of life. Yoga is for the hurt, the anxious, the too much to do and no time to do it person.
I am passionate about sharing the benefits and practices of yoga with people who are open to learning ways to weave them into their day. Whether you are looking to start a new relationship or enjoy a deeper connection with your loved ones, there are yoga practices to support you!
When you take the time to develop practices of self-compassion, loving-kindness, mindfulness and self-awareness, you will be able to show up as your best self for yourself and your relationships. Healthy habits create healthy relationships and healthy relationships create healthy ripples in all areas of your life!
The practices of Yoga and Mindfulness can help you to:
- Reduce stress & anxiety
- Improve sleep
- Strengthen relationships
- Overcome doubts & worries
- Increase focus, clarity & creativity
- Reduce risk of health problems such as heart disease & high blood pressure
- Improve mobility
- Ease physical pain
- Increase awareness of emotions
- Be more responsive & less reactive
There is so much more to yoga than what you see on a yoga mat! I invite you to fill out the Contact Form or book a Curiosity Call and together we’ll take a deeper dive into yoga and ways you can weave the practices into your day to create and maintain the relationships you desire!

About Stephanie
I have been on my Yoga journey for more than 20 years! My Yoga practice has helped me to find balance and calm in the busy-ness of life – from parenting to being a Solopreneur!! It has taught me lessons in letting go of the need for perfectionism and control so that I can truly enjoy time with my children and have a business I am proud of.
Life’s adventure led me to being a Yoga Teacher (RYT 500hr), Certified Mindfulness Coach and a Certified Yoga Therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT). I also have certifications in Health and Life Coaching that are accredited by the International Coaching Federation and I’m certified in Plant-Based Nutrition through e-Cornell.
Throughout the pandemic, I taught virtual Yoga classes, often with students joining in from around the globe! I loved seeing the transformation that happens when people discover the healing and freedom that comes from an honest exploration of Yoga and its many practices and philosophies! It was then that I decided to create Heart and Wings Yoga to continue sharing Yoga and wellness practices to encourage people to see their amazing selves and create the life they want!
Before starting Heart and Wings Yoga, I served as a Board of Director member for a local food pantry that supported more than 400 families each month. In partnership with the food pantry, I worked with a retired Navy Captain to help create a new ministry to serve Veterans with PTSD. We started with two Veterans and soon were providing food and other support services to more than 50 Veterans each month! I offer Karma Classes (no fee to practice, any donations are given to a Veterans' organization) to continue supporting Veterans.
I have two children: Benjamin, 14, and Rayna, 11. We enjoy cooking, baking, riding bikes, reading, and playing with our sweet pup, Simba!
"Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life." ~B.K.S. Iyengar
