Stacy McCarthy is quite simply a joy to be around. Her yoga classes seamlessly blend elements of grace, athleticism, strength and compassion for the body. Her students work hard, but they feel really good doing it.

Having been an All American Swimmer and World Champion Athlete, Stacy turned to yoga over a decade ago to improve her strength, flexibility and balance. She received a B.S. in Exercise Science and her teaching credentials in Physical Education from Colorado State University. Stacy is certified by the American Council on Exercise and was the Chief Operating Officer for Frog's Athletic Clubs and Regional Group Exercise Director for Club One.

Stacy began practicing Ashtanga yoga in 1992, when she brought renowned yoga teacher Dominic Corigliano to Frog's Athletic Club. She was the Group Exercise Director, when she became a loyal and dedicated student of Dominic's. Years later, Dominic moved to India and asked Stacy to take over his classes. "Dominic was my primary teacher and set the foundation for my teaching style and philosophy".

Since then, she has had the fortune of studying with many great teachers including Dennis Dean, Tim Miller, Nancy Gilgoff, David Swenson, Roger Cole and practicing with Sri K.Pattabhi Jois on two of his world tours.

“Stacy’s teaching style is very clear and articulate in a way that does not slow the class, but gives different levels of ability different options. Her classes have just the right combo of explanation, flow, music, and difficulty of postures. Plus her kind, friendly energy attracts an amazing group of people,” says one devoted student.

Stacy has distinguished herself through her cutting edge classes using a variety of techniques and tools for accessing and sustaining mental, emotional and physical well being and is passionate about her contribution to the health & success of her students.

Stacy is a regular teacher at Pacific Athletic Club. She also teaches privates. Visit her website to see her schedule.
