About

Hi! I'm Lacey, an ERYT-500 yoga teacher and PhD student in French and Francophone Studies based in St. Louis, Missouri. I specialize in prenatal and postpartum yoga, restorative yoga, Yin, and trauma-informed Vinyasa.

 

Since beginning my teaching journey in 2017, I've taught over 2,000 hours of yoga in studios, hospitals, community centers, universities, and online spaces across the United States and abroad.

 

My work has taken me from Myanmar and Austria to Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, and now St. Louis, where I continue to teach while pursuing doctoral studies at Washington University in St. Louis.

 

My approach to teaching yoga is shaped by a unique blend of yoga teacher trainings, full-spectrum doula work, and maternal health research. In addition, I hold a Master of Science in Global Health from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Yoga has accompanied me through each of these seasons of life, and more, from competitive running and international travel to pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. It has been a source of grounding, healing, and connection through it all.

 

My teaching style is often described as calming and nurturing as well as empowering. In a world that often asks us to move faster and do more, I see yoga as an invitation to pause and return to ourselves. I hope that students leave class feeling more present in their bodies and more supported in their lives.
