About Stacey Rosenberg

Stacey Rosenberg delights in the practice of yoga and joyfully offers it to others. A certified Anusara yoga teacher since 2006, Stacey infuses each class with the biomechanical principles of the body and a celebration of life. Her dynamic and playful classes provide a fun, safe, and nurturing environment that invites students to move deeply into their own hearts and transform their lives. Stacey’s teaching reflects her own journey of healing and her extensive studies both training with and assisting John Friend, Desiree Rumbaugh and Sianna Sherman. She continues to deepen her own understanding and practice through the study of two Tantric traditions: Dr. Douglas Brooks’ Rajanka Yoga and Paul Muller-Ortega’s Blue Throat Yoga. Weaving the relevance of these teachings both to the practice on the mat and to life’s everyday experiences, Stacey inspires her students to awaken to their greatness and live harmoniously in the world.

About Namastacey

Namaste is a sweet salutation that means, “The divine spark of life in my heart acknowledges the divine spark of life in your heart.” Commonly used in India and Nepal, Namaste is also a part of our yoga practice in the United States. For years, I routinely ended my yoga classes by bringing my hands together in front of my heart and saying, “Namaste.” As a way of honoring the flow of love created by the class, I bowed to each student and found that most replied in the same way. Except for one. With my eyes closed and my heart open one of my students would often let out a little, “Namastacey!” It wasn’t until another student suggested I buy the domain name that Namastacey really began to make an impression on me. At first I thought it was a bit irreverent, but as I contemplated why I teach yoga and the importance of its offerings both on and off the mat, I realized how perfect Namastacey suits my highest purpose. As a yogi, I look for the unique beauty and divine spark in each and every person. As a teacher, I help my yoga students discover their own light so they can shine it brightly back on the world. I consider the seat of the teacher a great privilege and continue to end my classes with, “Namaste,” as a full expression of gratitude for my students, my teachers and the great lineage of yoga teachings that has been passed down for all of us to experience. Join me for public and private yoga classes, Anusara immersions and teacher trainings, and a variety of yoga workshops and retreats centered on personal development. My work with students primarily focuses on: • Increasing your health and vitality through the practice of yoga • Discovering your full potential and living your highest truth • Enriching our community to support, uplift and inspire each other • Raising awareness so we see the impact we have on one another and our planet
