Ohmmmmmm....Ohmmmmm....Ohmmmmm I had the pleasure of attending Stacie's yoga class she instructed on Tuesday & Thursdays at my work. I'm a plus-size woman and often times its a hard for me to do many of the poses in traditional yoga classes. Stacie's motto is to do what you can and there are not set in stone rules for yoga. She made me feel very comfortable, relaxed and surprisingly limber after her sessions. My part of her yoga class is shavasana...just kidding. She's great and I really enjoyed stretchin' it out with her. read more

I recently took Stacie's chair yoga teacher training. Stacie is an experienced, articulate and knowledgeable teacher bringing a wealth of support to those wanting to teach chair yoga. She's definitely sharing her life's passion for the benefit of all. I've been practicing yoga on and off for 25 years and never knew much about Chair yoga. I believe it's a great service for the senior population, but also for anyone who works at a desk, spends much of their day seated or has injuries, restrictions or disabilities. It truly is for everyone and I am thrilled that I was called to Stacie's chair yoga training. She is a gem! read more

SunLight Yoga - Chair yoga teacher training with Stacie Dooreck - Yoga Near Me

I was an unbelieving New Yorker not thinking this California stuff works. My job is so stressful. Stacy answered a lot of questions I had to help me understand, and once I let go of my doubts-- it was a transformation! Totally helps me through my work-- and life. Not a Marine drill sergeant... but eased this change of life style which I can say I benefit immensely. It has opened my eyes and I know I can carry this style into my life after work. The Sunlight Chair Yoga reinforces what I learned face to face- and some. Highly recommend it. read more

Stacie came to our corporate office twice a week to teach all of us office folk yoga and she did an amazing job! She gave clear and concise instructions and really helped us with our breathing/relaxation techniques. In addition to the class, she was able to teach us some simple yoga moves mixed in with more complex ones for beginners and people who wanted to be challenged. Overall, we were amazed by her flexibility and willingness to adapt the class to whomever was taking it. Stacie is friendly and patient, so no matter if it's your first time doing yoga or your millionth time, I highly recommend her as a teacher. read more

I would like to thank Stacie Dooreck and her comprehensive SunLight Chair Yoga Teacher Training program. Wow! The modules are impressive and FULL of great information - there is no doubt Stacie is an expert in her field! Stacie shares her information and knowledge in a way that makes you want to learn as much as you can! Upon starting the program, Stacie reached out personally through email making sure I knew she was accessible and available for questions. The SunLight Chair Yoga modules were continually updated with the latest information or videos. Stacie teaches in a way one can only hope to emulate in the future - with kindness, care, concern, and a welcoming attitude -- her phrase "yoga is for everyone" really shines through in this program. I am grateful for the knowledge, time and attention Stacie poured into this program. read more

There aren't enough words to describe how lovely Stacie is, not just as a yoga instructor/mentor, but as a beautiful soul. Stacie works with me individually, and has introduced yoga into my life, both physically and spiritually. Her gentle instruction encourages my body and mind into asanas and pranayama that are healing and strengthening. We practice mostly integral, but she also integrates some Kundalini, as well. I am sure you will enjoy learning, practicing, and sharing the yogi lifestyle with Stacie! OM Shanti~ Namaste~ read more

As written by my wife: My husband surprised me during my pregnancy, and hired Stacie for some private yoga sessions. She came to our home once a week, and did a fantastic job. I had a condition called "placenta previa", and I was only allowed very light exercise. Yoga was the perfect solution for me, and Stacie guided me through prenatal poses that relieved aches and pain, which are or course the joy that comes packaged with all pregnancies! Stacie also provided me with printed materials so I could practice when she wasn't here. She was always attentive to my energy level, and would construct her session accordingly. I always felt considerably "lighter", physically and emotionally, after our sessions. So, simply, thank you Stacie. And I hope to see you again soon for baby number 2! Christelle read more

Stacie is a great yoga instructor- one of my favorites. Her practice has a great balance of the physical, mental and spiritual sides of yoga- focusing not only on asanas but breathing and meditation as well. She is very knowledgeable and does a great job of describing the poses and different ways to get more out of the practice. I love the fact that she's "in tune" with the class and the people. She will give extra help to those that need it and will make modifications for those that are injured or pregnant. She brings enough variety every week to keep things fresh. Her yoga class is my weekly salvation- I can't recommend her enough... read more

Stacie is amazing to work with and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. We hired her for a team meeting of 40 people, and everyone loved her. She asks great questions ahead of time (how much time, audience size, etc.), so she can properly plan the chair workout. All of her exercises are very easy to do, she gives great clear instructions, and it is amazing how relaxed we all were after 30minutes. You won't regret hiring her. read more

Stacie is amazing. If you are new to yoga or you want to improve your technique, Stacie is the person to guide you thorough the process. I tried so many yoga instructors and I couldn't get into yoga until I took one of Stacie's classes. She is amazing! read more

I have taken classes from Stacie for several years now at the Presidio where she teaches part time. She is thorough and makes sure students get a solid grounding, paying attention to form. She has also taken the time to instruct us in the bigger picture of Yoga, something I found very helpful and not all teachers do. Stacie is very pleasant, paying attention to individuals and tracking their progress as they become more adept. I highly recommend her as a teacher. read more

Her knowledge of yoga runs very deep and her teachings extend beyond yoga, including tai chi, qi gong, and more. She is also just a wonderful person! I recommend her highly for both individual and group classes in both studio and professional settings. read more

Stacie has a gentle intuitive style that allows one to get into the yoga zone and experience the deep relaxation that can be achieved through the practice. After a private session, I was able to use my breath again to achieve deep relaxation. This was truly important after my surgery, and with these new exercises I was able to improve my ability to heal. read more

Stacie is wonderful. I started working from home over a year ago, and given the freedom of that I wanted to try to train myself to take some yoga breaks. I took a series of private lessons from Stacie in my home, which was a great way to get myself in the habit of de-stressing throughout the work day. Stacie is very knowledgeable, teaching me about the practice of yoga. And she was great at tailoring lessons to my needs...both my overall goals and just how I might have been feeling that day. She's also very warm & kind and generally nice to be around. read more
