YOGA NAMASTACY
Your Sanctuary for Living Life Fully– Welcome to The Yoga Nest –
Sanctuary for practice, presence, and belonging.
Live • Livestream • On Demand • Garden Yoga
Here, yoga is more than a class on your calendar. It is a return to yourself – a place to breathe, strengthen, soften, learn, and remember what truly matters.
– The Nest Experience –
The Quality of Care
Consistent. Beautiful. Personal. Rooted in care.
Every detail is designed to feel warm, elevated, and easeful: intelligent sequencing, personal guidance, spacious transitions, and a sense of belonging from the moment you arrive.
Whether you practice in the garden, on livestream, or with the on-demand library, you are held by the same intention – to help your body feel strong, mobile, vibrant, and free.
– Body • Mind • Soul –
Powerful Body. Peaceful Mind. Soaring Spirit
The Yoga Nest supports strength without strain, mobility without force, and breath-led movement that brings the mind into a steadier, clearer place.
Classes are designed to meet you where you are while inspiring your next expression of vitality – from grounded fundamentals to creative, energizing flows.
– The Teaching Method –
Intelligent Yoga
Stacy’s teaching blends alignment, anatomy, breath, philosophy, and soulful storytelling. The practice is physically balanced, energetically empowering, mentally focusing, and spiritually uplifting.
You will learn how to move with greater awareness, adapt postures to your body, and build a practice that supports longevity – not performance for performance’s sake.
– Community Matters –
Belonging
The Yoga Nest is a circle of sincere students, teachers, friends, and seekers. We celebrate practice, curiosity, kindness, and the joy of growing together.
This is a community where no pose is above another and no person is above another. We meet each other with warmth, humor, respect, and heart.
– Ways to Practice –
Live when you can. On demand when you need. In community always.
Join twice-weekly livestream classes, practice anytime with the on-demand library, or gather for select in-person garden experiences when the season invites us outside.
The membership is designed for real life: travel, busy seasons, tender seasons, and the steady desire to keep returning to your mat.
Livestream
(Twice-weekly, Tuesdays + Thursdays 9 AM Pacific)
On-Demand Library
(24/7)
– The Garden Doorway –
Breathe Deep. Move Freely. Live Fully.
Select garden classes bring the practice into nature – a celebration of movement, renewal, and connection aligned with the rhythm of the seasons.
From sun-kissed flows to gratitude practices, these gatherings remind us that yoga can be both sacred and playtul, personal and shared.
– A Beautiful Commitment –
Your practice, Your Life
Inside The Yoga Nest, we practice for the life beyond the mat: steadier breath, clearer choices, stronger bodies, more graceful aging, and deeper appreciation for the ordinary miracles of being alive.
May this be a place where your practice becomes a trusted companion – one that supports your strength, your softness, and your joy..

My mission is to guide them past that fear. To give them the confidence to get on their mat and live their fullest life.”

The Vinyasa That Meets You Where You Are
A new way to flow, breathe, and belong on the matThere is a moment I will never forget. A woman in her early fifties walked up to me after class, eyes glassy, and said, "I think this is my last yoga class. I just can't keep up." She had been showing up faithfully for...

Transformation isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about becoming more of who you truly are.
The deeper you move into the quiet and transformative practice of yoga, the more the layers begin to fall away, old conditioning, expectations, comparisons, and the stories that were never really yours to carry.
What emerges is greater autonomy.
Greater authenticity.
A deeper connection to your own inner wisdom.
You become more real.
More genuine.
More aligned with your truth.
Yoga is not about perfecting the self. It’s about realizing the Self.
Be the artist of your own life.
Stop painting from someone else’s blueprint and begin creating from your own heart. Choose the colors, the textures, the experiences, and the meaning that resonate with your soul.
Your life is your masterpiece.
Make it a reflection of who you truly are.
✨ Practice. Listen. Trust. Become.
I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of fitness rockstarGilad Janklowicz.
Just recently, he joined my yoga class in support of Augie’s Quest, helping raise awareness and funds to find a cure for ALS. We shared a beautiful lunch together afterward before he returned home to Hawaii.
Gilad was best known for his television show Bodies in Motion, which inspired millions of people around the world to embrace fitness, health, and an active lifestyle. His energy, positivity, and genuine passion for helping others made a lasting impact on so many lives.
I feel grateful to have spent time with him and to have experienced firsthand the kindness and warmth he shared so effortlessly.
His legacy will continue to move and inspire people for generations to come.
Sending love and prayers to his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched. ❤️
Your life is like an energy economy, every day you’re making trade’s and you’re either depositing or you’re withdrawing so where your focus goes energy flows and where energy flows your life flows so if you’re focused on garbage, you’re wasting your energy if you’re focusing on the beauty that’s where your life goes. If you’re focusing on what’s wrong with you you’ll feel broken if you start focusing on what’s working well energy flows there.
Stop giving your mind and your soul away to nonsense.
Imagine you have a bag of gold and every time you give away a brick of that gold to gossip to someone who wrote a bad comment about you to someone who’s pulling you down you’ve given away all of that emotional wealth time and energy and isn’t that tragic?

✨ A Special Morning of Garden Yoga + Mala Meditation ✨
We’re bringing together two beautiful practices into one intimate experience.
We’ll begin outside with Garden Yoga, an all-levels practice to awaken the body, open the breath, and settle into the beauty of the morning.
Then, a small group of just 12 guests will continue inside The Yoga Nest for Meditate with Your Mala, a 2.5-hour workshop with Stacy and Judith.
You’ll receive a beautiful mala from Mala and Mantra and learn how to use it as a sacred tool for meditation through light asana, pranayama, mantra, and guided practice.
Because the mala workshop is limited to only 12 participants, it is now offered as part of the full bundle experience only.
🌿 Garden Yoga + Meditate with Your Mala
📿 Includes your mala gift + a special surprise
✨ Limited to 12 workshop participants
💫 Investment: $138
Who is ready for a morning of movement, breath, beauty, and meditation?

At 64, some days the challenge is simply getting to my mat. Other days, it all flows. What’s carried me through? Repeat the basics. Challenge yourself. Don’t give up. Treat yourself with compassion. Forgive yourself. No matter where you start, how old you are, or what you look like… this is yoga. Practice with me.

Swipe for a little magic. ✨
We adopted our sweet DD when he was 5, so we never got to see him as a puppy… but thanks to a little cyber imagination, here he is as the cutest tiny pup. 🐾💛
And the second photo? That’s me as a 3-year-old yogi , clearly already practicing lotus pose, joy, and a little bit of mischief.
Maybe yoga was always in my bones.
Maybe DD was always meant to be my soul-pup.
Either way, this makes my heart so happy.
Paws, poses, and pure love. 🐶🧘♀️✨
Drop a paw 🐾and namaste 🙏. If you love paws and poses🤍
Welcome, new friends. I’m Stacy McCarthy, founder of Yoga Namastacy, yoga + wellness educator, , speaker, and lifelong student of this practice.
For over four decades, yoga has been my path for building a powerful body, a peaceful mind, and a more meaningful life.
Here, I share intelligent yoga for strength, mobility, longevity, and soulful living, blending ancient wisdom, modern science, breath, alignment, philosophy, and a little humor along the way.
My work is rooted in the belief that yoga should meet you where you are. Not where you were 20 years ago. Not where the media says you should be. Right here, in this body, in this season, with this breath.
Drop a note or emoji and say hello😊
I’m so glad you’re here.
🌿 The jungle had something to say.
And I showed up to listen.
I just returned from a sacred week of my life, teaching and learning @HouseofAiA, deep in the Yucatán jungle, alongside visionary leaders at the Holistic Leadership Council.
We practiced yoga on open-air decks with Ganesha watching over us. We breathed. We moved. We sat in the kind of stillness that only ancient trees and jungle air can hold.
Outside the yoga shala stood a little sign that stopped me every single time:
✨ “Spiritual transformation in process. Do not disturb.” ✨
Sweet friends, that sign was for all of us.
On this Earth Day, the jungle reminded me of something I want to pass to you:
The earth doesn’t need us to be perfect. She needs us to be present.
I’m sharing the full story, the magic, the teachings, the transformation in my newsletter this week.
If you want to come with me back into the jungle through words, sign up at the link in my bio or head to yoganamastacy.com 🌿
