I’m Stephanie Sawyer Brown — yoga teacher (RYT 500+), sound healer, holistic practitioner, meditation teacher and writer — and I believe yoga is for every body.

​

My own yoga journey started with a search for pain relief after a back injury, but it became so much more: a path back to myself. In 2017, I packed my bags and traveled to Rishikesh, India — the birthplace of yoga — to study with a 7th-generation yogi. I immersed myself in hatha and ashtanga yoga, meditation, and ayurveda, soaking up ancient teachings that still shape the way I navigate my life and my relationships.

​

Since then, I’ve been committed to deepening this practice and sharing it with others. In 2022, I earned a second 200-hour certification in trauma-informed vinyasa yoga, blending mindfulness and nervous-system support into every sequence. By 2025, I had completed an additional 300-hour certification. I also became a certified sound healer and vibrational therapist, using the power of the chakra system and sound with vibration to guide students into deeper states of rest and release, and ultimately healing.

​

Today, I’ve completed my 500-hour certification and training as a Certified Holistic Practitioner, integrating breathwork, energy medicine, and mental well-being into my offerings. My mission is to make yoga and healing practices accessible, body-inclusive, and practical — so they fit into real life, not just a perfect Instagram square.

Create the Flow State is my invitation to you: to breathe more deeply, move more intentionally, and carry the wisdom of yoga into your everyday life.
