In 1988 Stephanie Keach broke her back in a car accident and healed herself through Yoga. From this re-birthing, she has been studying and teaching Yoga ever since. Within 3 months of the accident, without any traditional medicine, she was doing backbends and if you've ever seen Stephanie do a backbend, you will be amazed.

 

Living in Santa Barbara, CA, Stephanie had access to many of the West Coast's finest Yoga teachers. She considers herself a “Life-inspired student of Yoga” and gives thanks to her most influential teachers Erich Schiffmann, Rod Stryker, Bryan Kest, and Rodney Yee. She also spent many summers at Tassajara Zen Center, studying Zen Buddhism.

 

After the accident, Stephanie began teaching right away. She sees it as her calling. To this day, she teaches weekly at the Asheville Yoga Center, conducts Teacher Training Certification Programs, and gives weekend retreats around the United States. She teaches in a style all her own, although it parallels mostly with Erich Schiffmann and others out West conducting Flow style classes. She encourages meditation and deep inner reflection as she skillfully guides you through gentle to dynamic flowing asanas.

 

Currently, she lives with her loving husband and latest Gurus, her beloved boys Samson, Duncan and Tobe in Asheville, North Carolina. When not doing Yoga, she enjoys conscious parenting, being outdoors and playing music, mostly devotional Kirtan. She owns the Asheville Yoga Center offering classes, workshops and Teacher Certification.
