Stacy Shepherd
began her yoga journey during a difficult time her life where she needed a mental and physical outlet. The physical challenges from yoga allowed her to start focusing on herself which led her to meditation. After quitting her 9-5, she traveled for a year throughout South America, Central America, and ½ of the United States. During that time, She dove deeper into her own personal practice. Her mind and her heart were open to new experiences and wonderful people. She realized that yoga was something that she wanted to share with people.
The spiritual growth from her RYT-200 fueled her desire to spread love, peace, and a safe space. Her intention for students is to offer love through purposeful movement in a safe environment.

Born and (mostly) raised in Dallas, I’ve been practicing yoga for over 20 years and teaching since 2008. My teaching style has evolved to incorporate a strong foundation in safe, modifiable alignment, a judicious use of props, and deeper somatic and anatomical exploration to locate balance, strength, and agility in the body. Emphasis on breath is another indispensable touchstone of my own practice and my teaching, and I strive always to introduce the practice of dharana, or mindfulness. I hope to encourage and cultivate an internal awareness that focuses and calms the mind not just during the time and space of our practice, but in the space of our day to day lives.
In addition to my 200 RYT certification, I am also a certified Level 1 Warriors at Ease Yoga Teacher. My karma yoga is working with veterans and first responders through the group Warrior Spirit Project. Yoga and trauma - or how yoga can be a useful tool in managing the symptoms of PTSD - is my passion and my way to give back to a community that has sacrificed and continues to give so much in their service to our country and communities.

"Amelia teaches vinyasa flows with a down-to-earth, welcoming vibe. Her classes are built around the idea that yoga should feel like home-whether you're brand new or a regular on the mat. Students can expect to explore, maybe learn something new, move intuitively, and leave feeling more connected to their bodies and their practice.

Amelia completed their 200-hour teacher training with Black Swan Yoga in March 2025.
When she's not teaching, Amelia's probably baking bread, playing video games with her partner, hanging out with their two cats, or prepping for the next time she's on the mat."
