"Stacy Paczan is an incredible yoga teacher. She is committed to her practice and her students, and I can honestly say that when she's with me, leading me through the dense woods of my tired, stiff anatomy, I feel that anything is possible. I know I'm getting stronger with her guidance. She is a natural teacher and she brings a bright sense of energy into every class. She is always attentive to her students’ particular capabilities, and leads us on a path to a more powerful body and a deeper connection to our practice. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get a real workout and a real moment of zen.

"Stacy has this rare combination of gentle breeze and focused strength that's palpable when you start working with her. She knows exactly when to push you to work harder and when to back off. I have always struggled with my weight and subsequent body image issues that follow it, and this practice with Stacy has unlocked a new integration/union between my mind, body, heart and soul. During these uncertain times, I'm certain that I can count on Stacy's sessions to recenter and ground myself.”

"As an ultrarunner I had been searching for a strength program that I could stick with which would compliment and improve performance over the longer distances. Finding Stacy and beginning my yoga practice with her is exactly what I needed. Her experience as a runner gives her intimate insight into the needs of the runner, with a focus on the areas important to endurance athletes (quads, IT bands, hamstrings, glutes, etc.) she helps you recover from the last run or strengthen for the next. In addition to the physical, she also stresses the importance of breathing and focus to increase mental fortitude. Her positive energy and grasp of the yoga experience is unsurpassed. I hope to practice with her for many years to come.”

"I started working with Stacy a couple of years ago when a friend gave me a gift of four sessions. Since then I’ve worked with her and have gone places in yoga I hadn’t gone before. Problem areas like my hips and neck have changed and are feeling better. I am a working vocalist and musician, and can actually breathe deeper than ever before. There are some yoga postures and stretches Stacy seems to have custom-made for me that have been incredible. She really listens, checking in with my body each time we meet to create a unique flow for the day. She’s intuitive, funny and real with an empathetic yet strong style. I can’t wait to do an in person yoga retreat with her!”

“For me, Stacy’s teaching over the last couple of years has been transformative and magical. I’m not sure how she manages to know exactly what I need in my practice — but she does. I’m also thrilled by how consistent my practice has been, and how much I yearn to do it, whether privately, or in group classes with fellow yogis that I’m feeling a great connection with. Stacy has always made me feel encouraged while gently pushing me out of my comfort zone. My progress and increased stamina and mobility have been tangible right from the start, but never at the expense of proper alignment and breathing. I love the way Stacy seamlessly links traditional, long-held Hatha Yoga poses with core and strength-building exercises that without her, I would never be disciplined enough to do. Her passion for yoga and fitness and the transformation it all brings are totally contagious. I can’t get enough of my yoga practice with such a loving and insightful teacher — and I’m not going to stop!”

“I have been working with Stacy Paczan for a year and it has been absolutely transformative. She is, without a doubt, among the most intuitive, kind, attentive and gifted instructors I have ever had. Having studied dance, martial arts, yoga and pilates, I delight to share without any reservation whatsoever that Stacy is the best teacher I have had; the most motivating, inspiring and conscientious. Her approach feels profoundly personal and tailor made to suit whatever your needs are. She's deeply empathic while being incredibly knowledgeable about physiognomy, anatomy and yogic practice. I started with Stacy during a health crisis of sorts and she has brought me so much relief and calm. I have practiced with many wonderful and gifted instructors over many years, but Stacy is in a class all her own with her intrepid style, generosity and grace. I have recommended Stacy to others, all of whom are immensely grateful that this healing force has come into their lives. I am deeply grateful for the expertise Stacy brings and the practice she so effortlessly inspires.”

“I suffer with a couple of debilitating pain syndromes; fibromyalgia in particular. I am in constant pain and very rarely experience reprieves. Although I have just started working with Stacy, I have already felt a marked decrease in pain on the day following our yoga sessions. I am convinced that I will see further, more sustained relief in time. Stacy tailors our sessions to meet my needs and my abilities, and she is very knowledgeable about my condition and the specific exercises that are of most benefit. I can’t recommend Stacy enough - she is empathic and compassionate and really wants people to feel better. She is just lovely. I am so thankful to my best friend for introducing me to her.”

“After some injuries & too many months not being active, Stacy has helped me to reconnect with my body in a positive and grounded way. She tailors my yoga postures and workout to fit where I’m at physically while gently pushing me out of my comfort zone. I finish sessions feeling lighter, energized and engaged! I have been working with Stacy for almost two years now, and my practice has progressed in ways I didn’t know were possible.”

“Stacy has made a huge difference in my life!! I have been recovering from a long-term illness, and was not able to move my body for several months. Stacy has been instrumental in helping me get back into my body. She does not judge or push too hard, but gently leads me to what I am capable of doing, that without her guidance, I would not do. Meeting her at this time has made such a huge difference in my life! She provides follow-up support by phone, email and text; and I feel supported by her.”

“I was looking for something in my life, and had no idea what it was. I found out it was not the gym, Tai Chi, gardening or baking. While I enjoy these activities, nothing felt quite “right.” As it turns out, I had been looking for yoga. Stacy has been my teacher in this endeavor, and has helped me to strengthen my body, and has helped me to learn how to quiet my busy mind. Stacy has been more than a teacher, she is my friend. When I cannot get to yoga, she brings the experience to my home or where ever I am.”

“After several months of on-line practice with Stacy, I continue to have fun and be challenged by her classes. Stacy is a natural teacher. Her yoga flow is relaxed and grounding with the right amount of guidance that works for both the newbie as well as the experienced yogi.”

“My weekly yoga with Stacy has been so beneficial to both my physical and mental health, especially so, during this challenging time of the pandemic. Her calming presence and warm demeanor are just what I need. Her classes are always the perfect combination of challenging poses and flows along with stretching and relaxation. I always look forward to my next class!”
