I had the distinct privilege of being taught by the best, Stacy McCarthy. Stacy was my teacher in my Yogaworks Teacher Training. In addition, she mentored me for nine months in her Yoga School of Business program. Stacy is the essence of integrity and a gift. Thanks to her, I have created my own successful career in Yoga, Nutrition & Health.

Stacy’s teaching changed my life. I have never participated in anything before or since that remains as invigorating as it was/is challenging. I walked away knowing that my first responsibility in every class that I lead was to “change-lives” the way Stacy changed mine. My teaching improved because of Stacy McCarthy. I learned more than asanas. I learned how to fine-tune the dynamics of classroom instruction and “open” the hearts and souls of all class participants. I shared with my students what she shared with me – teaching at is finest.
