Stefie Girardi
Stefie (or Stef) first started doing yoga in college. She fell in love with the heated power flow classes immediately, but she didn't practice regularly until 2018 when she took her first class at Eb & flow Yoga Studio in Chicago. At first, she felt yoga was all about getting a good workout and sweat in, but she soon discovered the meditation side of yoga which helped her manage stress and anxiety. Once she realized yoga was much more than just moving through some poses for physical fitness, things really changed.
Stef has her 200-hour teaching certification in Power Flow and Yin Yoga and completed a 90-hour youth yoga teacher training program. She also has her master's degree in social work and is also a special education teacher.
Her goal when teaching yoga classes is for her students to feel good. She wants to meet them where they are, and guide them through an enjoyable and enlightening experience every single class. Stefie strives to make meaningful connections with each of her students in the hopes that they feel welcome and accepted in her class. She also hopes that her students feel better leaving her yoga class than when they came in. You can expect to have a fun and engaging experience in her classes.
