Welcome!
WE ARE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU JOIN US. TO MAKE YOUR FIRST CLASS A BREEZE, HERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO KNOW.
"I’m so thankful that [Grand Canyon Yoga] is a part of our community. It’s so important to keep up our practices and stay healthy in this extreme environment. I really appreciate their approaches and modifications – they’re able to adapt to our community of practitioners that is multi-generational and has members at all skill levels"
-LAURA, YOGA PRACTITIONER
"So grateful to have been referred to Stephanie's Christ-centered classes. She's super knowledgeable and shows individual care to her participants. This practice has been truly beneficial to my spirit and mental health. "
-LEAH M., YOGA PRACTITIONER
"Stephanie was my perfect intro to yoga. She was always kind, helpful, fun and sensitive to my aged and out of shape body. She made stretching, breathing, and self-care a wonderful experience. I moved to California, and just can't find another teacher who does it so great. "
-JULIE S., YOGA PRACTITIONER
"I began taking Stephanie's Yoga classes to recover from an illness. It was very beneficial for me physically and mentally, I am very thankful for her and those classes. I looked forward to attending her class every week. She has a calming presence and is a fantastic teacher!"
-DEREK O., YOGA PRACTITIONER
"I'm thankful for the calming environment that Stephanie creates. It is very nurturing and soothing after a long, hectic day or week, yet provides enough of a challenge physically without the pressure to perform. I don't have to do what anyone else is doing, but can learn to listen to my body and what it needs for that day... more rest, more stretch, etc... I always leave feeling better than when I came!"
-TIFFANY S., YOGA PRACTITIONER
"I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie as a beginner in yoga. She was an excellent teacher, and I learned a lot in the few weeks I spent learning from her. Her stretches, poses and techniques really helped me out, I left feeling refreshed. She's a great teacher and I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking into yoga, all levels."
-ARTHUR F., YOGA PRACTITIONER
"I’m new to yoga and really appreciate the welcoming attitude of Stephanie and everyone involved with Grand Canyon Yoga. There is a true effort to accommodate people of different skill levels and to help everyone progress in their practice. I feel that they have created a comfortable and safe place for everyone."
-DAVID WATSON, YOGA PRACTITIONER
"I’ve been attending yoga with Stephanie for several months now. Her classes are both inviting and challenging. It’s been my experience that Stephanie is willing to spend time learning about you and about your practice, and she has a sincere desire to assist in facilitating growth and healing. "
-BRIAN ARELLANES, YOGA PRACTITIONER
"Stephanie ensures that all people feel welcome and cared for during her yoga classes. She is trauma sensitive so all participant are invited into her practice. Her only requirement is breathing. Specially, as an older, curvy, hearing impaired attendee, I always feel like Stephanie is supporting my needs. I feel mentally and physically stronger after attending her classes. Ultimately, discovering Stephanie’s classes has been life changing. "
-STEPH D., YOGA PRACTITIONER
"I have a subscription app for yoga practices, but it doesn't compare to Canyon classes! The elements of mindfulness and connecting with my body is something that can't be replicated. These yoga classes invigorate my body, mind, and soul."
-DIANA, YOGA PRACTITIONER
"I am increasing my flexibility, relaxing my mind and body, all while challenging myself with breathing and balance during each class and have even met some incredible people! Stephanie and Sam are very different in their teaching styles, both with very unique strengths, and I really appreciate them for taking time out of their lives to help others whether it be physically to meet individual goals or mentally by providing community."

Our community yoga classes are all trauma sensitive and completely secular. This means there will be no religious or spiritual beliefs incorporated, so classes are welcoming to people from all religions and spiritual practices. Please see the individual class descriptions for more details on what to expect from specific offerings.
Are you ready to move beyond alignment cues and cultivate a teaching practice built on empathy, integrity, and genuine connection? This is more than a yoga teacher training—it's an opportunity to become a compassionate, trauma-sensitive, and empowered teacher.
Our unique hybrid 200-hour RYT training is a journey of self-discovery and professional development, designed to prepare you for the realities of teaching in the modern world.
We are available for private sessions that can focus on alignment, trauma recovery, or just a personalized practice.

What is the most important part of practicing yoga?
BREATHE. The only requirement of your yoga practice is your breath. If the only thing you do for your whole practice is focus on lengthening and slowing your breath, you'll help calm your mind, relieve stress & release built up tension in your body.
