Stephanie Chapman

Experiencing the advantages of mindfulness, breath, and flexibility on the mat, encouraged her to focus on incorporating all aspects of yoga into her daily life and career as a high school teacher. The physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits motivated Stephanie to share her passion for yoga with others. She became a Yoga Alliance, RYT-200 in March of 2015 through Beyond the Pose Yoga School with Ally Ford. In 2021, Stephanie became the owner of Bloom Yoga in Shreveport Louisiana. She is drawn to teaching beginners and enjoys focusing on strength and balance in her daily practice. Stephanie acknowledges that a yoga practice is something that changes and shifts over time to accommodate one’s body and mind. She fosters this awareness in her own practice and nurtures it in the practice of her students. Stephanie's guiding force as an owner and instructor is community. She attempts to run her life and business constantly considering the principles of the yamas and niyamas, as well as, maintaining a focus of giving back more than she takes. Stephanie is dedicated and always seeking ways to become a better yoga student and teacher. She is E-RYT 500, YACEP, RCYT through Yogees Yoga 4 Kids, a certified Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher and a lead teacher at Balanced Yoga School (200-hr).
