Stephanie Sirico

In 2003, she had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the Yoga Mountain organization in Rockland County, NY where she taught classes and co-directed the 200 hr and Yoga Therapy teacher training programs for over 5 years. In 2007, Stephanie decided to pursue the advancement of Yoga and its philosophies full time, and finally left the corporate world.

During that time, she has earned her Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher 500 certification (E-RYT 500) and Professional Yoga Therapy certification, has maintained an active membership with the Yoga Teachers Alliance (YTA) and the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT). Most recently, The Breathe Yoga Project, a resource for workshops and not-for-profit events has been developed out of the strong drive to take yoga out into all communities. Stephanie has also spearheaded a new division of Breathe Yoga, Breathe Consulting. A company that will allow Stephanie to share with other organizations the benefits of having a yoga program in their facility or assisting with making existing yoga programs stronger. Stephanie’s special interests focus on individuals with challenges of all types, demonstrated by programs taught at the Friendship Club in Valley Cottage, NY (Rockland Mental Health Association), teaching yoga in the classroom with BOCES in Rockland County and various other programs for adults and children alike. In addition to these ongoing programs, Stephanie had developed a summer Youth Yoga Program that has been running for 3 years in Yoga Mountain in New City, NY.
