Stacey is passionate about sharing yoga and sound healing in a way that feels welcoming, accessible, and restorative. As the founder of Ember in Bloom Foundation and a mom to two beautiful daughters, ages 4 and 16, she believes some of life’s most meaningful moments come from slowing down, taking a deep breath, and reconnecting with yourself. Outside the studio, she loves traveling, going to concerts, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family. Her hope is that every class leaves you feeling more grounded, present, and connected to yourself.

Tori is an authorized Ashtanga Yoga teacher rooted in traditional lineage and dedicated study. She trained closely under her teacher, the late Sharath Jois and his mother, Saraswathi Jois in Mysore, India, continuing the Jois family tradition. Her practice began in 2013, with early influences from Dana Baptiste, Seane Corn, and Ana Forrest, and quickly gravitated toward Ashtanga Yoga which she has studied and practiced daily ever since. Her past teachers include Sarah Jane Burkholtz, Sammy Brown, Michael Gannon and more recently, Jorgen Christiansson, Sharathji and Saraswathi Jois. This practice has allowed her to work directly with her nervous system in a constructive and therapeutic way. Mysore-style Ashtanga classes integrate asana, breath, bandha, and drishti to cultivate a focused, evolving inner practice in a non-dogmatic way that is tailored to each individual. Beyond asana, her work extends into the philosophical and traditional dimensions of yoga. She has studied the Yoga Sutras in depth with Dr. M. A. Jayashree and engaged in chanting and Vedic philosophy with Dr. Vigneshwar Bhat.
