About

Stacey Beth Shulman, M.Ed. RYT IAYT is a tantric hatha yoga teacher and yoga therapist in the Atlanta area. She received her 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2009 from Yoganand Michael Carroll of Pranakriya Yoga and has continued her studies of the therapeutic applications of yoga, completing certifications in trauma sensitive Yoga, Positional Release yoga therapy, prenatal yoga, and, most recently, Pink Ribbon Recuperative Yoga for breast cancer patients and survivors. Stacey has completed the 300 hours of required coursework for Pranakriya yoga therapy and is working towards her 500 hour yoga teacher certificate as well. Her mission as a yoga teacher and yoga therapist is to help people of all shapes and sizes connect to their bodies and enrich their lives through gentle movement and yoga-based bodywork. Stacey offers private and group yoga classes, yoga therapy, yoga nidra, and yogic coaching in the Atlanta area, as well as yoga nidra and yogic coaching at a distance via Skype.

When she is not on the mat, Stacey enjoys reality storytelling, painting, cooking, traveling, and spending time with her partner and their cat, who only gets mildly annoyed. You can contact her at curvyyogini(at)gmail.com or via Twitter @curvyyogini.
