Yoga in Bloom founder and teacher, Stefanie Patterson, has been practicing yoga for over 18 years. She is licensed through Finding Inner Peace Yoga School’s 200 hour program, is a member of the National Yoga Alliance and has received specialty certifications in pre/post natal yoga and children/teen yoga. Her yoga classes focus on opening the heart, creating space in the body and cultivating inner strength.

Stefanie is a Master’s level professional who has been involved in the field of education as a certified high school English teacher and a special education teacher since 1992. Through these years of experience, she has discovered a strong connection between teaching in a traditional classroom and in a yoga class. The practice of yoga builds resiliency, honors individuality, decreases stress and, ultimately, increases self-image and the desire to achieve.

Stefanie works with clients of all ages who are searching for more individualized instruction in both yoga practice and academic tutoring. Please contact Stefanie to set up an appointment.
