Stephanie Dufort

Stephanie fell in love with the practice of yoga in 2009 in the midst of running Division I Track & Field. A close friend convinced her that it would be just what she needed to soothe her aching muscles. Love at first class, she soon decided to attend the 200-hr teacher training program at Yoga Poser in Santa Monica, California.

She believes that movement is the best medicine, and that obstacles are our greatest teachers. She teaches a vigorous Vinyasa Flow class filled with challenging arm balances, inversions, and creative sequencing. You can expect to work hard, sweat, and laugh in her classes. She also teaches yoga for athletes, hoping to guide athletes to the same benefits of yoga during training that she experienced.

When Stephanie is not teaching, you can find her upside-down in a handstand (she loves the view from her hands), making delicious and nutritious food, studying to become an orthopedic Physician Assistant, and spending her time in the great outdoors with friends and family.
