Our Story
Bringing You the Magic of Yoga
Soulful Yoga Connections began September 2020 with the intention to offer yoga outdoors to allow students to connect to nature and each other through Yoga in the Park, SUP Yoga and outdoor classes & events. It is a place of inspiration & growth as we strive to incorporate a variety of practices in movement, breath, and meditation on land and water. Yoga in the Park is offered at the beautiful Inverness Liberty Park during the Spring, Summer and Fall months. SUP Yoga is offered in Crystal River, FL year round.
As our yoga community grew, The Soulful Shala was born as a gathering place for students of yoga to practice, share, experience, learn and grow. Located in a quiet neighborhood in Inverness, FL, Soulful Shala is a home based yoga studio created for the yogi or yogi-to-be with a soulful & well intended heart. This enclosed space allows for more intimate and more detailed classes to be offered.
As teachers, our intention is to offer high quality services, accessible and inclusive to all by offering you a broad range of yoga classes and experiences. So get excited and come experience the magic with us!
PLEASE NOTE: Address to the Soulful Shala will be provided after you register for class!

"Stephanie is a magnificent person and teacher! I feel a great deal of love and joy beaming from her whenever I am in her presence. She is authentic, dedicated, passionate and very knowledgeable about yoga on and off the mat. Stephanie is enthusiastic and deeply rooted in her own yoga practice, which allows her to teach and share from the priceless "embodied experience". She communicates clearly and gracefully while teaching and offering gentle guidance, wisdom, and support. She is truly a gifted teacher"

"Attending classes with Stephanie has opened a new world for me. As a teacher, Stephanie intuitively adjusts to meet her yogi's needs and is patient, caring and inspiring. In addition to improving levels of fitness, I've learned the benefits of breathwork, of the opportunities found in meditation, and how to listen better to my body."

"Having been a caregiver for several years, I have been trying to redefine my life & implement some self-care through yoga. I thought it would be relatively easy because of my military background, yet it proved otherwise. I met Stephanie who encouraged me every step of the way even through the onset of Covid. Yoga has been a vital part of my self-care, it has grown me spiritually, has impacted my life in a positive manner and has given me a wonderful tribe of people that I now call friends. Namaste
