 Yoga Instructor & Women’s Wellness Academy Manager

A teacher since 2014, Stacey Harbour is a trauma-aware guide and lifelong student of embodied healing whose perspective is informed by training in Reiki and Pranic Energy Healing. Her path to yoga was forged through lived experience—navigating decades of high-pressure corporate work and the chronic stress of a body that felt persistently overwhelmed. Through steady practice, yoga became her way to reclaim agency, restore balance, and cultivate a more trusting relationship with her inner experience. Stacey’s teaching now blends Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, and Yin into a somatic approach that prioritizes choice and nervous-system-friendly movement. Her classes focus on relieving tension and building quiet strength, supporting students in moving with both awareness and autonomy. Set to thoughtfully crafted playlists, her offerings are calming and grounding spaces where students can soften resistance and reconnect with their own inner wisdom.
